What's new

FedEx Freight | Merity based pay increase at Fedex...What is top rate going to be?

It amazes me how some people call it a raise. A raise is anything above a cola. We haven't had a genuine cola in years and we haven't had a raise in about 10 yrs
 
It amazes me that SOOO many b1tch and cry over getting paid more when a LOT of people are getting the boot!!!! Grow the HE11 up folks, If all you are going to do is cry and whine then quit. I have never seen soo many kids in 1 sand box all whining cause they dont get their way. Some would have been happy to just keep the job that you are always crying about having to do.
No wonder other LTL's hate this company, all they hear is kids crying about everything. If you arent happy with what is given then leave or call up payroll and ask them to keep it.

Let's destroy morale and see how that goes. Maybe having a company full of couldn't care less employees is a new way to increase production. Looks good on a spreadsheet. Cut hours, cut bennies, inflict silly and duplicate procedures, don't notice the good, punish every bad. Then give them a crap raise and call it good.

Well said brother! Well said
 
43 cents amounts to an additional 17.20 a week. If next January is anything like this past January than an additional 7 dollars will have to come out of my check to pay for medical. In real terms it's possibly more like a 10 dollar a week increase. I am thankful to have a job, but this is definitely not a cost of living raise. My operations manager said that at least we aren't like ABF, they are getting a 15% pay cut.

I tell you what, I will trade you spots and let you "just be happy without a job" and see if you can understand where I am coming from!!! Its easy to cry like a 5 year old over not getting more $$$$ cause you think YOU DESERVE it when some people just want to keep their job. Again if you are SOO unhappy then please let me hold the door as you leave and let someone that would be grateful to have it stay. I have seen most of my fellow drivers do more crying then a daycare over stupid stuff. Nobody owes you a damn thing so get over it. Grow up or get out of the way and let someone else have the job.
Bu the way, Ive turned down the chance to wear a red shirt cause I dont care for how they treat them or make them treat the workers. Im a road driver that has just a few more weeks left till Im forced out and jackka$$ like you get to stay and complain about everything while collecting a pay check with bennies.

I guess that's only a few weeks that you have to listen to the whiners then! Do you run your mouth like that in person, or just from the safety of home?

Ask the express folks about that....I fixed the original post to include the last 12 months. Since they get annual reviews to see if they "merit" the full raise. <<<or so I'm told.

This is true! I use to work for Express back in the early 90's and yes they do get a merit pay increase based on a annual review. I could be wrong, but the review is based on safety, attendance, and other criteria's. It's almost like mgmnt does a Gallup survey or whatever on u.

We haven't seen a raise like that in years. Maybe if we aren't profitable they need to can some higher ups,its their plan that is failing.

True! But their plan for screwing us....their employees seems to be winning. This company makes so much damn $$$$$ it's ridiculous! Even when there's a bad quarter....they've still made $$$$. It's just not enough $$$ that they probably set as a goal to make in that quarter. So they'll categorize it as a bad quarter. When these "life threatening"..as I call it C.O.O's occur with the massive cuts like the one we've just had.....it's just another way of the higher ups giving themselves a raise. Like I mentioned b4....these little penny raises that we've been getting has been a joke! I think each and last one of us haul...I'm guessing maybe about 50-100k worth of freight if not that more day/night to make this company billions and then they slap us in the face with raises like the ones we're getting and boost your health insurance!......Amazing!
