[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1991850, member: 12570"] Nope but thanks for playing. We had an on car retire. His replacement was supposed to come from Canada but he had problems with his Visa. They then posted the position online and MT applied and was hired. He has family on his wife's side 90 minutes away from the center and for the first 6 months he was here he drove back and forth every day. As I said, it took him a while to gain our respect. This may not sound good but he is Hispanic and I live in a predominantly white area so he had to overcome the typical stereotypical ignorance among some of my co-workers. I remember one incident early on in his tenure here where one of our senior drivers disrespected him in front of other drivers. I pulled MT aside and told him that he needed to set the tone now or he would be dealing with this crap. He did and he is a respected member of our mgt team. [/QUOTE]
