[QUOTE="soberups, post: 846999, member: 14668"] Its a pity that the company cannot or will not apply the same buzz words that they expect [I]us[/I] to regurgitate towards the day-to-day operation of the business. You know...like "getting the big picture", "expecting the unexpected", "adjusting to changing conditions", or having a "smooth routine". Apparently, those phrases are [I]only[/I] applicable to an hourly employee who is getting a warning letter for a ticky-tacky "accident" or failing to meet some impossible production standard. I am usually more than willing to at least [I]attempt[/I] a minor repair that is not fundamental to the safe operation of the vehicle. But when the company has [I]already[/I] made a business decision to set me up to fail by cutting routes and shoving an impossible dispatch out the door, and that bad situation is then made even [I]worse[/I] by a vehicle breakdown, I am not feeling much of a "sense of urgency" towards risking [I]my[/I] career attempting a repair for which I am neither trained nor qualified. In a situation like that.... the company made the bed, so they get to lay in it. [/QUOTE]
