[QUOTE="Fredless, post: 190777, member: 5197"] We got a new center manager last week. This guy hadn't even said hello to me until yesterday my name is blah blah. An onroad had owed me 49 dollars because my rookie mistake (I've been air driving for a little over a year now) and the hub was out of diesel. They sent a message on saturday, 4-7-07 to fill up if you're going to be returning with less than 1/2 a tank. Well thats a given for me since I go as far north as our hub ranges to every saturday. I respond to the message "with what money?" I get no response. Then on my way back to the building, I see another message regarding the gas issue that its some other gas station and not the original one. I again state "WITH WHAT MONEY? ITS GOING TO BE HARD TO FLOAT THE COMPANY A LOAN WHEN JR DRIVERS START BEFORE ME!" (I was already pissed because I just bitched last week that my seniority was violated, and it was again this saturday - thats another issue), point is - I made it CLEAR I did not want to pay with my own money. Well, I just went to a gas station that was on the way back to the hub - filled up with 49 worth of diesel. I figured, ok they must be handing out checks or something back at the hub. MY BAD HERE. I get back, didn't see the on road that was running the saturday that week, just the OMS. I asked her where my money was and she goes "what? what are you talking about?" So I just wait till I see this guy the following tuesday (he has mondays off). He explains to me I was in the wrong, I remind him about the messages - he skirts around the fact that he was retarded and didn't see them either. He says he will pay me back by FRIDAY of that week. Well after 3 weeks of broken promises and I'll pay you tomorrow's bullcrap, I finally filed on it - under article 17 because it was the only one even close to my issue. New center manager comes to me with a copy of the greivance all hurt and pissed off by it that I didn't use his "open door policy" I said "you know what the first thing (on road in question) said to me sir? He accused me on no call-no show the FIRST conversation we had. Now you're down here, the FIRST time you make an attempt to meet me accusing me of not using your open door policy. I don't pay $5.00 a week to use that. YOU obviously did not READ the greivance." I put in the greivance every detail of how I tried to resolve the matter before I filed. he says to me, "I'm sorry Fred. my name is blah blah shakes my hand." he hands my 50 back, and I tell him I don't have any cash on me to give him his change..tells me to keep it as interest to floating the company a loan. He rambles on in a very chastising matter that I need to use the open door policy from now on with any of his sub ordinates if I can't get my matter resolved. What a jerk, I put in remedy sought "FROM A COMPANY THAT PROFITS IN THE BILLIONS EVERY YEAR I JUST WANT MY $49.00 BACK AND I WANT IT NOW!!!!" I didn't throw in I want 3 article 17's and time and a half blah blah...I just wanted my money back and he talks to me like a retarded child like that...what a way to meet your new employees. And screw your open door policy - it was obvious I TRIED that before I filed. Every center manager we have had has been a jerk, but i've only been with the company 3 years so I'll keep my hopes up. Point of that story - I will NEVER fill up a truck with my own money again. If I run out of gas, screw them they can come get me and I will sit under a tree for hours waiting on the mechanics...and SCREW the open door policy. If I want that, I'll go to work for FedEx.
