[QUOTE="canon, post: 170653, member: 8423"] Before you call them slackers, they may have just reached the point it looks like you're beginning to see. The more work you do, the more they expect. It's a system set up to reward the less motivated with less work. In my building, the slowest people get the day off anytime they want. Simply because mgmt knows the utility driver they replace him with will do a lot more stops. Or they are allowed to run misloads out to drivers, for the same reason. I get the sob story guilt trip if I call in because I'm sick... forget about me getting a day off like them with a cheery "have a nice day" from the supe. The supe finds it easier to rely on the cooperative driver who always takes the extra work than to deal with either the lazy driver or the good driver that just has a dispatch problem. Everyone has different tolerance levels for being taken for granted; rebellion comes when the cooperative driver figures things out and is no longer going to try to keep up with the unending demand for more more more. So they ask for help and management looks for another cooperative driver. Eventually, I'll bet someone calls you a slacker... but it's only because they haven't reached the point you have. local84 nailed it. It's just a game. True, some of the players are lazy. But others have just been playing longer. [/QUOTE]
