[QUOTE="scoobypanda, post: 366410, member: 13957"] A few years ago, we got a new manager and he actually said "there's a new sheriff in town blah blah blah".Pretty funny.A few weeks later in pcm he says he needs a few minutes out of each of us,maybe cut lunch 10 minutes short.Some of the guys were freaking out and I explained that he has nothing to lose with his outrageous speeches or demands, he doesn't care what we think or say of him and if 1 or 2 guys are dumb enough to listen, he picks up 10 or 20 minutes on-road. Another time I walked in with another driver and I was complaining about work.She asked me if I was happy at home and I said very much so. She then asked if I would rather have happiness at home or at work because very few have both. Lastly, I had a conversation with a manager once where I joked about my mediocre on-road and he said he didn't care. He looked at my work on the whole. No late air or missed deliveries. No tracers or customer complaints. No injuries or accidents. Help the guys around me and new drivers. He told me I was an asset to the company. Those 3 incidents were main components in shaping my day to day attitude. I am good at what I do and as long as me and my customers think that, it doesn't matter what my supervisor of the month thinks. If they don't care what I think of them, why should I care what they think of me and most importantly, take my work seriously, take pride in what I do, but don't let it define who or what I am. Family and friends are what's important. [/QUOTE]
