Do you have any respect for drivers who never worked on the inside?

[QUOTE="brownedout, post: 912157, member: 30910"] Good questions, one I always thought of bringing up. To straight out answer, No, I have no respect for the outside hires, but only when they first start. I am jaded in this view because I was passed over 20 some years ago by the then 4:1 ratio. This driver was a peak casual for 3 years and when the full-time position became available it was time for a outside hire. Said driver has gone on to become one of my closest friends on the job. One of only a few who I spend time with out of work. Another outside hire has gone on to become quite a successful driver, but I feel I contributed to his success I trained him from day one, when we were given that responsibilty. So although these guys are more than capable of performing our job, they will never have the benefit of the doubt that an inside transfer would receive from the get go. I personally would be much more lenient toward the inside hires mistakes and try to help them through, becuse in my mind they have earned it. The outside hire on the other hand would need to go years to earn that same help. I realize the success stories I have talked about say this shouldn't be the case, and I'm not trying to justify how/why I feel this way, or even proclaim myself right/wrong. Just stating how I feel, and even more important that feeling is very far from mine alone. [/QUOTE]
