[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 721151, member: 24302"] Whether I'm a rehire or not is irrelevant. They are doing this to all mid-range employees. Do you believe that managers should be subjected to the same code of ethics that couriers are, or are they above that? Do you think it's perfectly ok to tell newhires they'll top out in 7 to 8 years when they know it'll take much longer? Apparently because I didn't get it in writing you think it's ok to lie to a potential transfer on the phone. I can see why you like the company so much because apparently the ends always justify the means in your book. Does that include cheating customers to further your career? Where do you draw the line? Are you topped out? Because you think things are pretty good do you think those who make considerably less than you should feel the same way? When I worked in Topeka I met our new district mgr once. He asked to meet me personally because he had never heard of another courier who consistantly ran his route at 150%. I used to run windsprints for this company. Once delivered 19 stops in 24 minutes in a 36 story building I had never been in in downtown Seattle, getting the last one off at 1030.
