I work for a subsidiary of Fleetcor. They thought our entire company was only worth a 2% pay raise in 2023. This didn't even come close to closing the gap with cost-of-living increases or inflation. Come to find that they changed the pay structure for relocation specialists to $39k starting FROM $45k. If it were their absolute goal, could they make working for Fleetcor less enticing? Home Depot or local school bus drivers earn more starting out.
Our subsidiary has lost a lot of good, long-standing talent since their last pay raise. Fleetcor earned nearly $1 billion in PROFIT in 2022, and they can't spare enough to pay their employees properly.
Working from home became less convenient and more cumbersome. Previously, we had to install a VPN app on our own PC's at home and access the remote desktop. Near the end of 2023, Fleetcor forced all of us, with very little guidance from Fleetcor IT, to take on and make room for Fleetcor-issued laptops. Many of my co-workers forced to rearrange their home offices.
These laptops were fraught with issues connecting to Fleetcor servers and nearly everyone had to be individually assisted which almost drove our entire IT department to quit.
Our company feels insulted and betrayed. Lots of us are looking into other options.
