[QUOTE="Upslady20, post: 223074, member: 4555"] In my building which I have been driving in for for about 17 years the first 4 in a building that we split off from. The first building was actually two centers in one but you were working together across the belt from each other. The first group I worked with were great very easy going fun guys ( I was the only female) we actually helped each other out back then and if you ran across a driver in the afternoon that was buried you took some of his work and helped him get finished. When the building actually split into two separte building I bid to the new center which was in my town and right down the street from my house. There were only a couple of us from the old center that swithed to the new center. And the personalites of the new center were complete opposites. Very negative, self centered rude bunch of guys. I don't think they could talk one sentence without foul language. It was :censored: everything. And for some reason they seemed to think females could not do the same job as them. And when the report told them otherwise that the female was blowing them away it made a few very resentful. ( I was young stupid and only wanted to get home) They seem to think the routes are changed for the females which we have 3 in our building at this time. That we are incapable of actually doing the job. That is just a few old timers thou. All of the new hires over the year respect the women since we are the ones who try and help them out and teach them the ins and outs of being a driver. So I was just curious of how all of the other women were doing. I just think it will be harder for us to make it to the end so I like hearing that there are women older than me I'm 48 with 21 years that are still out there working away. I know the fair days work for a fair days pay is supposed to protect everyone but the report scares me. I actually had a ride recently to see if it was the route or me. I had recently bid on this route and was doing better than the last driver. After the ride the supervisor told me it needed a time study that my methods were great. The next week though when my center manager returned I was told to look in the mirror and figure out what I was doing wrong to keep running over. No need to look in the mirror though I know I do the best I can everyday that I climb into the seat and sit down. I still do it better than the swing drivers or the prior driver and I will never run or skip lunch anymore so there is nothing to look at. My running day are long over just work at a steady pace.
