[QUOTE="'Lord Brown's bidding', post: 1150993, member: 32753"] Pompous, as in I think i am better, and the whole purpose of that statement was to show how important i was. No, I said that as my [I]opinion[/I], and then used the rest of my post to show why I came to that conclusion using facts, not my own ideas. For starters [B][I]I was a newbie, and have already been through this[/I][/B], as have just about every other driver employed. What makes those coming in higher than any of us that they don't have to work through what we did, and especially considering it may present an extraordinary cost to the company and cause them to take away benefits for those who have [I]already done the time[/I]. You point out how i use my vacations. I had to earn that, working my way to this point (and all while some of the more senior drivers were probably working their vacations, denying me the chance to cover their route, but did it matter? No, just do some trash, but [I]learn the areas and make oneself invaluable[/I], so they won't be so quick to cut you loose. That's what i did in that situation; the fact that anyone can do that (and some much, much better than I can or did) precludes me from having an over-inflated value of myself. You like picking vacations in the summer? Glad your seniority affords you the opportunity to get the choice pickings, rather than a random lottery draw? I am willing to bet far more drivers with less than four years would prefer being to take a summer vacation with their families, rather than be able to get on the 9.5 list (I was in the minoirty; it's cheaper off-season, and the destinations ate less-ctowded). They learn to accept that while low on the vacation list they aren't going to get that week in summer, and they'll adapt to being low man on totem pole, and being sent to rescue/help another driver and stay out late. In all walks of life the low-man doesn't have it the best (unless you are the youngest im your family, so I've heard). Why are up-and-comers any differen? [/QUOTE]
