[QUOTE="brownIEman, post: 4864974, member: 14596"] Yeah, he's repeating the old "we could run this company better than management " I had a steward tell me that years ago, I think he wanted to start an argument. Instead, I agreed with him 100%. Told him, "You guys are out there servicing customers and performing the work every day, you absolutely could run this thing better, more profitably than we ever could. Too bad you wouldn't. " I've been to a tiny rural center that spent years without a manager assigned, much less visited, and maybe a ORS visit every other month (assuming the guy actually went when he said he did). Senior drivers basically called the shots. Wound up with the senor guys getting lots of hours and very few deliveries while pushing anything they didn't want to do onto the lower seniority guys. Was a total crap show. My favorite part was reading the report from the manager they finally brought in from another state and tasked with cleaning house. No one in the center knew him so he dressed as a civilian and did a week or so of observations. Tracked a senor driver make a few deliveries, take an extended break, long lunch. Then the absolute best, the driver stopped at a livestock auction, bought a couple sheep and dropped them off at his ranch. In the package car and all on the clock. True story. Still makes me chuckle. [/QUOTE]
