[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 280192, member: 13254"] I haven't heard of any planned management cuts but then I am just a grunt in a brown uniform.Most of the time I don't KNOW of a cut back till it's been done for months, then I learn that's why so-in-so isn't around anymore. For those that are rejoicing over such cuts need to think that out a little more. As it is now the hourly people can't get oc sups to do things that we need done. Simple stuff like ordering replacement uniforms, keeping needed supplies readily available, fixing the trace on our areas, etc. etc. etc. This is not a situation of the sups going to the golf course, or taking a two hour lunch. They are running themselves into pools of butter to get reports filled out/ filled because some corporate dumb butt has to justify their own existence in the company. When I started diving our management team had 15 drivers to a group, this gave them the ability to get out the reports to district office, do their safety rides (which was when the sups found out what changes really needed to be made on the trace), and a bond of trust (or not) could be established to make everyones workday much better. Today, each OCS has 35-40 drivers and probably twice as many worthless reports. This crap can't be much fun. In our building all OCS have to be at work no later than 6:00, most evenings at least one, sometimes two are still the at 19:00 or 20:00. It's the OCS that do the dispatch everyday, I still haven't figured out why we need that full time worthless, can't do anything without OCS telling her what to do preload sup. (she does have a nice badonkadonk though.) I digress. My point is that we don't need less ocs, we need less corporate ax kissers that serve no purpose but to sponge off the people that make this company great. It's a fact that the closer to the customer an employee is the bigger the influence they have on this company's success. [/QUOTE]
