[QUOTE="konsole, post: 784382, member: 23965"] Until the part timers are treated as part of the company rather just some people that get hired off the street to handle some boxes, then you can't really blame some people for giving up and not caring. It sucks to have to deal with these people and they should just quit if they dislike it that much but unfortunately its part of the atmosphere created by the company. Until the company stops having 3 different start times a week and only 5-10 minutes apart, until they stop forcing people off the clock before the work is done, until they put an ultimatum on supervisors working, until the wage starts at something higher then $8.50 for an early morning physical job, there are always going to be too many employees who just couldnt give a damn about their work and how it affects everyone around them. As early as a few years ago the supervisors use to let employees finish their work before they punched out, we had things like barbeques and even sports teams, the start times were a bit more realistic with the quantity of work, the management was much more willing to provide longer or more breaks when we started earlier, we frequently received things like t-shirts and water bottles, and we even had the occasional questionnaire about how we felt about the company. Now all the things that helped make a friendly atmosphere are gone. The booklets we have to fill out everyday and the monotonous DOK questions we have to answer every week arent that big of a deal but they certainly dont help. [/QUOTE]
