[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 3228069, member: 24302"] GFT's can be useful. As a domiciled courier I had been dealing with a coworker who brought my freight constantly taking close to 1.5 hours to arrive when it was a 55 minute trip. He was taking care of personal business and since two thirds to three quarters of the freight he brought was mine he wasn't concerned at all with the time he had to get his work done. After 7 months of him snorting and laughing it off I finally said something to my mgr. After he got talked to about it he was infuriated. Was snarling at me when we met that morning and really went after me that afternoon. After about 20 minutes of berating me I lost it and said ":censored: You!" I got a warning letter. So how was the GFT useful? I openly admitted I said FU but it gave me the chance to tell the director what I had endured, way more than just him showing up late. Things going on that the mgr turned a blind eye to. When it was over my mgr had to rewrite the warning letter, and the guys at that little no mgr no csa station had to sign off on a statement involving racism and treatment of coworkers. That mgr and the senior got reamed, and they never screwed with me again. And I even held back on the thing that might have gotten them fired, saving it for another time, but telling the senior I was aware of what they had done. So if you're going to GFT, make it count, because the last thing mgrs want, including directors, is for negative things to get past their level and up the chain to Memphis. [/QUOTE]
