[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 664387, member: 22662"] Wow. Where have you been? I look back over that post and see nothing that I haven't posted on this site many times in the past. How would you like me to feel about my employees? There are some that over the years have gotten raises not because they've been there X number of years, but because they deserve it. Then there are those who have the talent but don't really want to put forth the effort. You know the type; miss pick-up windows, make up exceptions for undelivered packages, show up to work whenever they want (but do get the job done). I like them because I have the opportunity to incentivize and shore up shortcomings. And then I have the ones who need to go but still are marginally serviceable. Not only will I never give them a raise, they are the ones who can stay out until 7:00 and get the late pick-ups. How does your supervisor feel about you? Does he tuck you in bed at night? Or pat you on the ass and tell you "good job!"? Here's an example: One of my outstanding drivers had 3 tickets in a year (outstanding? yeah, I know). The state found it necessary to remove his driver's liscense for 60 days and no work permit. So I kep him at full pay in the truck and had another driver driving the truck. Why? A)He's been a great employee. B)His wedding was coming up in a few months. C)I don't want to lose him to another company. Would I do this for just any driver? Hell no. Bottom line is that I do appreciate some of my drivers and some of them can go pound sand for all I care. And yes, I make sure they all know where we stand at all times. [/QUOTE]
