[QUOTE="freeloader, post: 258336, member: 12163"] It seems to me like the folks at the top are getting greedier and greedier. 4 billion in profit last year and they still want more? Going public caused all this greed. They are ultimately trying to please the almighty stockholders and will do anything they can to do so. They also fail to realize that the working environment today is not what it was 20/30 years ago when they began their careers. Not only are the folks at the top screwing the hourlies, they are screwing over the front line management people as well (the PT and FT sup's). Many of the current PT and FT sup's that have been around for a long time don't have degrees and basically couldn't go anywhere else. Therefore they stick around and take the abuse. However, most of today's gen X people have degrees and also have different expectations of the management jobs than the old timers. So an old timer PT/FT sup will put up with peak assignments, 10-12 hour days, verbal abuse by managers and decreased MIP benefits. A new PT/FT sup with a degree will not put up with peak assignments, 10-12 hour days, verbal abuse by managers and decreased MIP benefits. They guys at the top are making money by the wagonload. The guys at the bottom are working their asses off and getting the shaft in the process. It's funny that management always throws around Casey quotes and goes on and on about his legacy. I seriously doubt he would approve of what's going on these days. [/QUOTE]
