[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 3484827, member: 24302"] Because you didn't live through it all. And great for you if you didn't. Someone starting today has a reasonably quick path to better money. Doesn't know any better about his retirement choices verses what they took away from us. But it's only when they are faced with a negative event where the company made them the bad guy do they get a taste of what we went through. I once was delivering in the Rockies with a 4X4 van. In the 40's and road was clear. Drove around a line of cars and suddenly found myself on a thick sheet of ice in the shade on a slight slope. I couldn't stop the van from moving and it eventually settled against a parked car. Put a small dent in the car. Got a warning letter which I contested. Was told by VP as I had a 4X4 van I should've been in four wheel drive to anticipate any problems. But my mgr told me not to drive in 4X4 unless absolutely necessary because it wore out the truck much faster. And my mgr admitted to me I was right but only the VP's say mattered. Why get so worked up about it? I had another minor accident 6 months before and if I got one in the next 6 I would be fired. It's that kind of inane reasoning coupled with tiny raises/slashed benefits that builds up anger over time. [/QUOTE]
