We have a new driver that just got their seniority recently. Quick background on this person. They have an 8:30 start-time, and no bided trip obviously. Very confrontational with management. For Peak they've covered various trips. Whatever the Center needs covered. Now this morning they came in, was told which trip they were covering, and said "Well that's a 10:30 start, so I'm leaving." The sup said "No, you start at 8:30 AM, and during Peak this trip goes out at 8:30 AM" The driver left the building and came back at 10:30 AM. Anyone want to guess what happened? If you thought "They were fired", you would be correct. Who does that?! Rookie driver has an 8:30 start. Gets put on a trip that starts at 8:30, then decides they will just leave because they think it starts at 10:30. Unbelievable the quality of people we keep getting. Work as instructed shouldn't have even come up! If your start time is 8:30, and they have a trip for you they want to start at 8:30, then there's no arguing. If this person had an 8:30 start and was told they couldn't start until 10:30, THEN they could've grieved it and won the money. Anyone else have people like this in their centers?
