[QUOTE="Phantom Lord, post: 111700, member: 6196"] I didn't ask for pity. I thought it was a pretty crazy thing to be yelled at for, telling me to work one way then getting mad when I actually work that way, so I thought it deserved to be posted. I guess I'm alone in that assumption. You know, it's attitudes like yours, trickpony1, that make the supervisor/employee relationship nigh untenable. I hope to bring a sense of who I am now with me to my new supervisory position, and hopefully be able to see things more clearly since I am fresh from the other side of the fence, and I know what it's like to really be a driver. I hope to both influence the supervisors that [I]don't[/I] know what it's like to be a driver (because they only did it for one month) and influence the bad-apple drivers that make those same supervisors think poorly about all drivers. I hope to achieve a change for the better in my center by becoming a supervisor, which is why I have both the support of my management team and most of my fellow drivers out of Loveland, CO. Then, you have the audacity to tell me "You're becoming a supervisor, so your problems don't count." When you prick us, do we not bleed? Once we cross over to the "Dark Side," are we not humans anymore? There is a certain common respect and empathy that I try to maintain toward all but the most intolerable of my fellows, driver, supervisor, and manager alike; it seems that you lack that respect and empathy. Can you not understand that I am serving my family, my company, and my fellow drivers in the best way I know how? As a driver I can only do so much: take some extra stops off of a coworker, answer questions, and help out where I can. I hope to take a more proactive role in helping more people by bringing a more level head to management in my center. There is one awesome supervisor in my center, an old dog that's been doing it for almost 25 years. He has been a great help to me and to others, both on a professional and semi-professional level; that's what I want to be like. I'm not in this for glory or power, if that's what you're thinking. I hope that you can become more tolerable toward others. Maybe then you would be able to drop your pretenses and become a supervisor yourself, and help the system on a greater level than you ever could by sitting around here and running your mouth.
