Won't disagree on Speedy! Fed X is to dependent on "contractors" for there delivery routes. We have finally got the same driver for the past several years? And yes, he's not the sharpest driver as he once buried his truck in our front yard. I have no idea what he thought he was doing?

I'm sure that is one of the primary reasons. Didn't FedEx have some sort of a commitment you had to make to get a job there? I know they used to have something 10-12 years go. And yes, Speedee is cheap.... but they only serve a 9 state area.

We had a UPS guy try to turn around in our field once - in the middle of winter!

We used a perfect attendance bonus system with a few variations.
A sorta simple explanation - A valid Dr. note for short term emergencies would not fully count against the EE. There are obviously methods to get a Dr. to sign off on questionable cases. The EEs that used a note were on a reduced payout, but they could earn back the points if they had no further incidences. Six months of perfect attendance would get you back half the points and a year allowed a full bank. It did give a little help to those with valid emergencies or sickness.
One downside were the people that crossed the threshold and knew they were out of the bonuses. We just planned on them using a bunch of days real quick after crossing the threshold.
Again, it is a simple description and it did get modified over time. We had a lot of data to use that was tied to performance against engineered standards. (Each motion was standardized down to .0001 seconds) The data fed incentive pay programs and those were tied to a grouped category that included attendance. Hard workers that showed up every day made relatively big bank.

I'm sooo thankful I bought BOTH from you, I go out in the building and look at them thinking I struck GOLD! Wondering what happened to my blown up sled that I unloaded at Hayward Power Sports, probably never made the sales floor after they fixed it
My son is going to welding school and he couldn't wait to go to work until his schooling starts this September. He already has several certifications so he's off to a good start. We've taught him work ethic from day one is crucial. He starts working for Fed Ex in Eagle River, WI on Memorial Day. Starting pay is $12.25 per hour and he's pumped. Just got a apartment in Rhinelander. Don't think mamma bear is ready for it but we're proud of him for wanting to work when in all honesty he doesn't have to. A lot of the issues we're facing start at home in my opinion. I certainly haven't been easy on my kids and at times I don't make myself proud, but I believe they need a certain amount of tough love and toughness to make it out there. Parents aren't going to be around forever and kids have become to soft and too dependent on their parents for every little thing. Work ethic starts at home. People have choices. They can go to work or stay home. They can enable their kids or have them face consequences. They can step up and do what's right, or they can become a victim. Make no mistake about it, our government would rather us take all the paths heavily traveled during this day and age which is the easy way out. Sorry to go on and on and I don't even know where I'm going with this! Son of a!

They are paying 25 an hour(plus hotel) for security on Line 3 project also. Good way to make fast cash, not hard work, very entertaining watching "water protectors" do stupid antics.
