Tideguy,
Let me assure you of one thing. The 395 men and women I work with, mostly my junior do everything possible to stand by my side. That goes for several yards in our district.
I guess its better then you stabbing them in the back.
You have no idea.
Guys like you come and go, mostly go in these parts and its guys like me that assist in showing them the door.
Guys like you hold the door you meant to say.
There was a great district manager here a year or two ago, Don Ammons. He was a great District Manager. He took no crap from his managers no matter what level.
DON, cleaned house when he got here, fired 3 division managers, demoted several center managers and tossed in the street any on road sup that was even remotely close to mediocre.
His style was brutal but effective.
He couldn't have been all that good if you're still holding the door for us.
Don is no longer in our District and I can only hope he pays your part of town a visit.
Actually he worked for me once. I shipped him out west because he spent to much time telling the drivers what a hard ass he was on management. guess you believed him.
Don and I had a close working relationship across the table and there was NEVER a request he declined me on.
not sure how don could expect to get his shoes shined if he didn't supply you with the shoe polish and brush you asked him for.
This was real management. A hard look from the inside out.
real management is someone who fires people. Ok I think we might actually agree on that one. I thought you were sympathetic towards people losing their jobs. How did you feel about don firing drivers or is just management you wanted to see get fired?
As for my performance on the street, I assure you, I am second to none.
The problem is there really is someone in your center who's last name is None he was the centers least best until you showed up.
The sups who ride with me call me the "mayor" of the city. There is NO ONE who doesnt know me.
what a compliment. Can't remember the last time I saw a mayor who was worth anything.
As for you, you are a nobody. Hopefully, Mr. Ammons finds you at your keyboard on the clock and puts his size 10 squarely in your behind and uses the cash savings on new trucks for the hard working members who make the company what it is.
Ok so now your having sick depraved sexual fantasies about Mr. Ammons putting his 10 in my rear end. I think its time for me to go.
