Merdock, One thing you need to think about is that sooo many of the people that are on Truckingboards were not at this company 15, 20,25 years ago. You are correct in your thinking with this post except one thing. I think you are wrong with your theory of going from a X to a Y environment. I think that it is the other way around. We went from a Y to X. Back when I hired in 17 years ago this was the place to work for, it was hard to get a job here. Why? They treated their drivers with respect and dignity, the management let you do your job because you knew how to do your job and it got done efficiently. I would go to the old XCW reship and they would get King of the Hill for loading trailers. What happened? We would get a cookout. Not hamburgers and hotdogs, but Sirloin steak. We as employees had unpaid healthcare, a good pension a real bright future in this company. The emplyee's work ethics reflected it along with good positive attitudes. So what happened? In comes Miller. The man that started the downward spiral just like when you flush a toilet. That is the point when the micro management started and the management's attitude started that they know how to do your job better than you do. Bad attitudes started and the mistrust in the management started. The crash happens, 2008. We were almost sold to UPS, No one told us for almost a year. We were told that the company had to tighten their belt and make cuts? Why? Not because they had to, because YRC did. The company was very financially stable. We lost our pension, cut our pay and other things. In the employees opinion it went from a career to a job. This company used to be a employee orientated company. Before the buy-out it was all about the stockholders and the management lining their pockets and the upper management’s golden parachutes. What do we have now? **** poor attitudes, People doing the minimum and below. Hiring sub-standard drivers. No Merdock, we went from Y to a X company.
