[QUOTE="sjh, post: 1137211, member: 41657"] Does your contractor relations guy have any weight with your managers? That sucks, but seems to be a common theme. I don't think managers over contractors ever works. Managers will always always treat them like employees; like they're the ones signing the checks. However, I don't believe a contractor's relationship with his managers should dictate his relationship with his employees. Our employees highly respect my husband -- highly -- and we have tremendous respect for them. They are (on average) the highest-paid employees in our terminal, plus we give paid vacation, annual raises, a matching retirement program, monthly bonuses, Christmas bonuses, Employee of the Month bonuses, loyalty bonuses (we have two guys who have been with our company 5 years, so we gave them several hundred $$$ and a small party), and bring in donuts, cinnamon rolls, breakfast burritos, tamales, etc often. Our next goals are uniform allowances (for shoes...they wear out WAY too fast on this job), health insurance (!!), and cell phone subsidies...but those won't happen till we've paid off the rest of our business debt. As it is, we haven't taken a personal raise in 3 years because our settlement enhancements go straight to the drivers. Drivers might be easily replaced, but not good ones. We'd rather have a workforce of top-notch drivers, and treat them as such, then to have constant turn-around. But I guess if it really is "all about the money" than you probably disagree. [/QUOTE]
