Yellow | Toilet Mystery>>The writing is on the wall!

The TM at Portland 875, MJ, is not a very likeable guy. He has next to no people skills, and because he has had run-ins with a few (okay maybe more than a few) Teamsters over the years, he tends to have a bad attitude toward us all. This isn't the first time that the "security expert" has been called.

Two years ago somebody cut some of the forklift computer cords and seat belts. Also, somebody (it may have been the same person) wrote this is the men's restroom on the dock: My name is MJ and I like to have fun with little boys. My phone number is ##########.

About twenty of us on the dock were questioned separately by the assets protection/security guy from corporate. This was right before they installed cameras on the dock, so the guy had nothing to go on. He tried to scare us by saying that he had hidden cameras on the dock that caught everything. The guy had no chance of catching the person because he didn't know the personalities or politics at the terminal.

The funniest question he asked me was, "Can you name anybody who works here who might have issues with management?"

I said, "Yeah, everybody after the top ten guys on the seniority list!"

There were about 230 on the list at that time.

I guess we will have cameras in the bathroom now they can catch vandals and someone stealing time :TR10driving03:

WOW!:ranting2:

Now that we gave up our pension and 15% of our pay it seems like Portland has all the money needed to harass Teamsters. The ratio of management and teamsters is wild…
The management is inventing new things to do because their are so many managers they are walking over each other…

Now the toilet mystery



Toilet Mystery>>The writing is on the wall! Someone wrote some nasty stuff about the terminal manager and now the company is kicking in over $2,500 dollars for an expert to come in and see if he can figure out who WROTE ON THE WALL…..

WOW! Here we have our company ready to announce they will probably be closing the doors and we have this guy out of control wasting money.
If someone writes on the wall about you well don’t read it!!
GROW UP…I will bet he reads the National Enquirer?

Well I hope the mystery is solved before the money runs out. I wonder if Zollars approved the CASH for the dirty bastard who wrote on the wall….
Maybe someone can write a song about it………:Off-Topic:

Sorry but I gotta put my 2 cents in on this little gem,

Lets see,
The Members (Workers) are pi$$ed because of the 18 month pension deferral and the 15% cut in pay,
WADDA you want them to do? Build a campfire and sing cum-b-ya?
Is that the worst that is happening in Portland? I mean nobody is cutting air lines or getting flat tires are they? The freight is not getting damaged right?
And the T.M. wants to spend money on a handwriting expert? With respect, I think the T.M. needs thicker skin.
Guess what? PEOPLE NEED TO VENT!! And if the worst is some new poetry on the SH&^ house wall then I would say great!
Honestly, Your a T.M., That does not mean you can control every aspect of a workers life or opinion while on duty.
You are a leader of Men & Women, You are held to a higher standard, Let those under you vent and get it out of their system. Otherwise you leave the door open for worst things to happen.
In plan English, GROW UP Mr. T.M.! Give your people some slack!

This is not the first time this company has spent big money for this same thing. Their record at the hearings are very good on this. Terminations upheld
Don't send any magazines to your supervisors homes either.

I do remember getting quite a chuckle when a certain aswipe of a linehaul manager had his utilities shut off for the better good.:biglaugh:
 
I'm not a hand writing specialist, but I would have to think that someones hand writing on paper, and their wall writing, might be a little bit different because of the different angles. It's good to see that my 15% is being spent so effectively.:ranting2:
