[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1098517, member: 12508"] God, this is so true. How many times have you heard a manager say "I need some bodies" or " I need a body for Rt. 123"? And it doesn't matter if you are Genesis-qualified, DG, International or whatever else....they only need you when they need you. If anything goes wrong, you will be blamed and disciplined and if hours need to be cut...too bad. You are an employee number, an "asset" # just like the vehicle you drive. I have seen so many people fit the description you just gave. Totally dedicated, participate in all company functions, management's right hand, and then BOOM, you get injured or they need to screw you over by re-sectoring your route so you're doing 25% more than anyone else for the same or less money. I know someone who was basically a defacto manager. She could do anything, and do it well. CSA, DG, International, Genesis...all of it. When the managers were gone (often) she would run the station. Plus she was an excellent courier. Her "reward" was to have her route changed so she had an extra 10 P1 every day, which was impossible since she was already doing the max. Within a week, she had seriously twisted an ankle [B]running [/B]down stairs to try and make service. Suddenly, she was dirt, the injury was her fault, and the injury turned out to be a break. Displaced, and treated like garbage. She quit within a month. [/QUOTE]
