[QUOTE="soberups, post: 832466, member: 14668"] I have been a driver in the same building for 24 years. None of the management people we currently have were there when the building opened. I have been thru almost a dozen Division and Center managers, and twice as many On Car sups. The desk upstairs is the same, the suit sitting behind it is the only thing that ever changes. I always get a kick out of the ones who come in all full of piss and vinegar, with a "plan" to "get this place fixed". Our building is the place where the square peg of IE's expectations meets the round hole of reality, and the only tool they let the Division Manager have is a hammer. One DM after another has been swinging that same hammer for 24 years and there are lots of nicks and gouges on the peg; theres blood on the table from skinned knuckles and crushed fingers, and always lots of noise and commotion and banging and shouting going on, but that peg is no closer to going in today than it was 24 years ago. And, in a few months, the DM will slink away in the night and a new one will come in and take his spot behind the desk and start swinging the hammer all over again. [/QUOTE]
