[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 2392380, member: 14176"] You are making your own problems and you have an inflated sense of self worth that is clouding your judgement. You might not realize it, but you don't have to succeed when they put you out there blind? You are the Center whipping boy because you are an enabler. You are rewarding the Company for their poor decisions. I just had my 30 year anniversary with the Company and have held a bid on the same "A" route in a 4 car loop, for the last 16 years. A couple of summers ago, they thought it would be a good plan to cut my route and combine it with the B Car on Mondays, because I don't have many pickups. First time they did it was the day after Memorial Day, and they assumed since I knew no other routes in the center, that I would take the day off. Wrong answer, and by the time they accepted that contractually they had no options besides paying my daily guarantee, all the routes had left the building. I did a lot of shuttling and safety training that day and was off in 8 hrs. The next Monday, I was dispatched to a route I had never run, but they forgot about my 8 hr request, so that day didn't work out well for them either. The following Monday, they convinced the senior driver on the B car in my loop to start taking Mondays off so I could run the combo-route. After clocking out at 11pm the next two Mondays, that plan was abandoned and my route hasn't been cut since. Stop being an enabler. [/QUOTE]
