thanks danny, yeah, my first and it is going to be great. she is due on sept 6.
For everyone in this thread, I am not trying to pick a fight, I was just trying to get the kind of discussion started on here that I have with myself. There are different dynamics at play and I don't manage a center, so I am no exposed the the BS some of you all have to put up with daily.
yes, the centers and drivers in my building all have my cellphone and I get calls daily. If I dont get a call from a driver that needed something, they know it is their fault for not picking up the phone
no, not all of my accounts have 60 locations, but my my largest has 8 DC's worldwide and a few of my retail customers have hundreds of stores. i deal with customers from $200,000 annual UPS revenue to $6 million in annual revenue.
As stupid as it may sound, I recognize the team aspect of our company is broken and I hope my spirits are not crushed before I get to a position to try and mend fences. I don't want to be a sales guy forever.
I have been a (the) primary resource for business managers and drivers for Take Charge, and the reason i created this "respoinsiblity" is because the old way was broke, and no one was attempting to fix it.
I am going to keep doing what I can to foster a team spirit and I am glad Browncafe is a sounding board for all types of folks. Thank you all again for all you do. I DO recognize without drivers, I have no job.
My future baby daughter thanks you as well!
You can't scare me away that easily - if that were the case, I would have quit 5 years ago!
