[QUOTE="cosmo1, post: 1773092, member: 13442"] It's sad, Rod, that it had to come to that point for so many of us. I started in 1978 in a center with less than 20 routes. Hired off the street (big expansion in the area), made seniority right away with benefits and they had me hooked. It was never an easy job, but back then local management ran their show by themselves for the most part. We had a pain-in-the-butt center manager, but if some of stopped after work for a beer and he came in, he was certainly welcome. What happened at work stayed at work. Over the years, and especially after the 1997 strike and the company going public, everything changed. Production became king at the expense of customer service. I really feel sorry for the new guys, and even some that were hired 5 or 10 years after me. I would be surprised if many of them can make the long haul nowadays. [/QUOTE]
