Granted he has been with the company I think 15 years but he can't perform any job at least 50%. We are already short staffed and he is keeping us from getting someone who can perform the job a lot better. Any thoughts anyone? He handles 30 to 40 more packages then any 70 yr old I know. He also sorts 2 more trailers then any 70 yr old I know so I think for a 70 yr old I have respect for him. It might seem hard to understand or except, but Dude, respect your elders. God bless that man cause when I'm that age I hope to be fishing with grandkids instead. We hopefully will all be in those elderly yrs. and if we are still having an active lifestyle we will want respect and kindness from the youth we come across. [/QUOTE]
