[QUOTE="Brownnblue, post: 350215, member: 1941"] Not sure if this will be of any help, but it did remind me of a story... Years back, we had a guy in our building who was known for 1) greasing off NDA to anyone remotely close to his route and 2) pointing out mistakes made by junior employees (I being one of them) at great length. I had the route next to him, so I would often be dispatched to bail him out as well. I had a split pulled one day and that night the guy they gave it to came up to me and commented on a residential customer who gave him a hard time. It sounded like they had quite a confrontation, and he was very frustrated with whatever happened. Fast forward a few days later. I am at the turn in area finishing up for the day (this is back in the day when we had to do things like count COD turn in cash) when my nemesis loudly and proudly proclaims that he had talked to the customer who had that problem. Since it was my route, he falsely accused me of poor behavior and strongly suggested that I get my act together. I took a deep breath and told him that I had the split pulled, it was another driver who had the stop, and that he was "worse than management"! He muttered something under his breath, turned around to finish his turn in...............and never spoke another word to me until his retirement. Everyone is human, we all make mistakes. My guess is if this guy is so concerned about your mistakes, he might be making more than his share of his mistakes. Just be patient, your time will come. Hang in there! [/QUOTE]
