[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 1005698, member: 22880"] Oh, they know... While there hasn't been any meetings for the ops managers, it is pretty much common knowledge now that Express Saver is gone. Maybe not among the wage employees, but among management and salaried staff - it is common knowledge now. The key to your statement is "long term"... Long term ops managers are smart enough to keep their mouths shut and their opinions to themselves - they wouldn't have become "long term" if they hadn't learned that lesson. They can "honestly" state that they "haven't heard anything regarding the elimination of Express Saver" - because officially, they haven't. They've heard "rumors", but nothing official.... If they were to open their mouths and start to cause "anxiety" among the employees in the station, they'd be setting themselves up for a good talking to by the Sr. manager. Maybe even setting themselves for the dreaded "leadership failure" (ending of their being a manager). Leaders don't create anxiety among those they lead - they are supposed to REDUCE anxiety at every opportunity. You have to think of it from their (ops mgr) point of view. What would they have to gain BY causing all that anxiety among their wage employees if they were to open their mouth? Just because something is true, DOESN'T mean that someone has an obligation to let everyone around them know it is true - especially if they are in a leadership/managerial position. At this point, they are actually MORE fearful than the typical "head in the sand" wage employee. The Ops mangers KNOW change is coming - they just don't know the full scope of the change and how it is to affect them. They are more afraid of what is going to happen to THEIR career at this point - than what they already suspect will happen to the careers of the full-time Couriers at this point. [/QUOTE]
