[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 820423, member: 484"] Hoax, you are correct, it does cut both ways. There are bad apples on both sides. The company rids itself of the hourly bad apples, but very few of the management bad apples hit the door. To the contrary, I have seen several promoted, some to Atlanta. As a side note, I was beginning my career as a driver, and had a half day run. I was at the building when one of our drivers wives called in to let the center know that the drivers dad had a heart attack and was dying and on life support. This was at 1-ish. Instead of attempting to run him down to relieve him, they opted to phone his last pickup stop, one that he normally made at around 6. Not any of the others, only the last one. I offered to go to relieve him off road, or at least help him get in earlier. even at no charge seeing as it was a family emergency. But they refused. His dad died at three after briefly regaining consciousness. But his son was obliviously delivering, and missed a golden last chance. I wonder if the hourly employees would have done the same had the situation been reversed. Also, interesting how management posters hate when we paint managers with a broad brush, but have no problem painting hourly the same way. Just some observations....... d [/QUOTE]
