Im confused with this burn it down mentality when this is what you signed up for. This is why people with skeptical records go to places like this. I'm not saying all their are skeptical but I know a lot of them are.
Obvious lame attempt to stir the pot, but I've never heard anyone here expect fedex money. The 'big boys' are the standard and when their pay is rocketing up, our pay goes up also. That doesnt imply we expect the pay to be the same- just that in order to keep the 'losers and misfits' happy, you've gotta always pay them, say, 75% of what a fedex guy makes. And yes, we expect decent work rules. If we cant get decent money and decent work rules, why not burn the place down? I have no interest in staying at a bottom-feeder. There are a lot of jobs out there and you're out of the loop if you think everyone at ABX (or even the majority) have bad resumes. Some of us chose this because of the potential and its where we wanted to be, not because it was our only option.
