[QUOTE="toonertoo, post: 137650, member: 1944"] I have figured it out. The management talking point is for the nest contract, that we are unskilled, uneducated, blue collar working, and we have no worth. I dont know why it took me so long to figure it out. At the check in counter, the senior driver told me what a hard time he was having trying to finish his ba. With the hours the classes are offered etc. Then he told me about another driver being talked to for missing a scan. And I do realize missing a scan is bad, but his reply was "well Im only human, Ill try to be more careful in the future", the sups reply.................... "Well you know you get paid what you do to do a good job, coz where else is someone with no education going to make this kind of money" And this guy has two degrees. So I guess the plan is to degrade, and denegrate your personal satisfaction in your job, and your career, and yourself (oh yes wasnt it Susie who said its not a career) and make you feel as if you do not have an alternative. Except for the fact that we many times have more post high school ed, than those supervising us. Wont work, tho. We know better. Watch out for those Junior posters, they just figured out how to get to www. [/QUOTE]
