[QUOTE="Macbrother, post: 1077189, member: 42759"] They [B]already hold leverage[/B] during the training period; complete, and absolute. The employee has virtually no rights whatsoever and can be let go at a moments notice, which happens far more often than not. Just because things work a certain way in your center doesn't mean they apply everywhere. We had multiple groups of people attempt to get on preload -- only one person out of those actually made it, for the entire year. Conversely I've never seen a driver not make his 30 day probationary period -- since that would require me to see the company actually hire drivers which they haven't done here in 5 years. Supposedly 5 are getting hired this year, we'll see how that goes. We've had 2 drivers fired in the past 10 years, btw. I don't know how many preloaders but at least one was fired within 2 months of my starting. So really, stop promoting your personal experience as if it were the rule. As far as management "finding ways" to try and fire people and get people in trouble -- LOL -- you really think that doesn't happen already? It's unfortunate your center is filled with sorry, lousy workers. Your supposition is that the rest of us who show up on time and bust our asses off cause that's how we were raised should be held to wages that meet their standards? Yeah yeah sure, all the drivers in your facility are great men and the PTer's are bums -- I get it by now. This was to someone else -- not you. I had hoped the "quote - 104feeder" would've made that clear. My bad. You know, if the purchasing power of a dollar hadn't changed since 1980, that would be just fine. I wouldn't be complaining [B]one bit[/B] about making such a great rate of pay. Unfortunately, there's this little thing called inflation. [B]Every year[/B] there is no part-time starting raise we go backward. Now, imagine how much inflation has accrued in 30 years, where the pay has gone up $.50.
