I cant wait to hear the responses to this one, I am all ears.
As the only female presently in my center driving, I would have to say, NO. When I have a complaint, I basically get ignored but that seems to be unanimously the way they treat all of us.
If I have a suggestion, occasionally someone will listen, but if a male driver backs it up, it is taken seriously.
If a male has a bad day, it is expected that he is angry, if its me it must be PMS.
If I get a complaint, its probaly PMS that she was rude.
If a guy gets one he was probably justified.
I would say I have to meet a higher bar to be accepted, until one knows me. And I expected that and have no problem with it. I think all minorities have the same experiences.
As far as less stops, UH NO. I knew at the beginning if I could not do what was expected, I was out the door. Coming from PT mgmt, it was make it or you are gone. When people say, "this is too heavy for you" (usually a male), and try to take a pkg from me, they have to get their gonads repaired soon after. as I am real strong and can lift heavy things. That is why I made it. Not because I was filling a quota.
