[QUOTE="toonertoo, post: 156901, member: 1944"] I mean it used to be a little less regimental, although it always has been, that is why we make the billions a yr in profit that we do. As upsdawg stated, it is because of the people. Ive worked many places, but not big corps, but there are very few people in 23 yrs that I dont like who I have worked with. It just seems now that we are pressed to do the impossible and I know 95% of us do the best we can do to service the customers, very few just want to hang out for hours and make OT. But since the #s are the only thing at times we hear about, it ruins the morale. But most of us just work to get home at night and do it another day. And most of us work thogether to help each others day, switch an air, switch a Pu, help another if they are under the weather. I dont know many places where people come to work, when they should be in bed, we are a loyal group. As for change, a big one was DIaD, the old timers were crying their eyes out. But I told them not to be intimidated as I had been on a computer before it was popular, I tried to tell them once they got used to it, it would be a gift, and it was. No more wet delivery records, papers blowing on the clipboard when people were trying to sign, no more frozen pens, etc., within weeks the most senior guys were elated. But change is always scary, human nature. It was "funner" back then coz we used to have cook outs, ball games, rodeos, family days, amusement park days, a time to focus on why we do what we do. And we knew everyones family, and got to spend those times together outside of work. But most of thats gone, thats why it was better then to me. [/QUOTE]
