Since it seems like most people are NOT aware, I'll share a bit of info.
Remember the "SCORECARD", well, that all came about because UPPER Management called in the "ELITE" drivers who participate and have had awards at the National Trucking Championships, or TDI's. They also requested the input of various DDI's from several regions. These "Elite" Professional Driversw are some of the BIGGEST Corporate kiss butts!!! NOT ALL OF THEM! But most think they are God's gift to FXF. I have NOTHING against these Drivers wanting to compete and share some of their years of knowledge with the rest of us. I, at one point was going to join the "TEAM", but I saw how much axx kissing was going on and some very high levels of HYPOCRISY. So, I just do my everyday job and go home.
AGAIN, NOT ALL who compete are this way!!! I know some of you will attack me about this post, but you see, I rather speak the truth to make others aware.
Management WILL NOT ask for advice or information to "BETTER" the relations by a bunch of "nobody's". They go to their favorite axx kissers.
And this is the HONEST truth.
I'm not going to "attack". You did say "NOT ALL OF THEM", and that is absolutely correct. Also, I
had heard the the "scorecard" was established out of meetings with input from groups of TDC participants, considered "elite". Clearly, they "stepped" in it, to put it mildly. Again, your impression may have merit, as always.
Personally, I appreciate the TDC program. It makes me focus on being better at my profession. Safer, actually, more than anything, but also more informed through study (of the regulations/industry news) for the competition. I also benefit from seeing the "other" side of the company. Those that conduct the internal (FXFE) events.
Most of them still seem to "get it", and are saddened by the change in tone and focus of the company. Not all, but most. There are still a lot of TOP SHELF people in Harrison, and elsewhere, who contribute greatly. I also take the opportunity, when appropriate, to speak to those I'd otherwise be unable to speak to. Pat Reed, for example, who I shared my concerns with, seemed sympathetic, and understanding. I won't share his response here, but he understood, or seemed to.
Wish I'd been this year, then I'd know what the sentiment is among the drivers. Yeah, I'd ask. Not campaign, but ask. I do know a couple years ago, few other areas had seen the significant changes that I'd seen. I bet most have now, as evidenced by the movement currently under way.
The suggestion I made, that you quoted, would have the employees determining who went to the (fantasy?) meetings. This would obviously
exclude those you speak of (which do exist), and include those willing to speak up. The last thing Logue and Co. need is more input from Yes men. Either way, it's unlikely to ever happen, thus we have what we have now. A struggle to improve a workplace in decline.
