this is to be expected, and it sucks.
i have not had any loyalty towards an employer for decades.
went thru some BS when i ran for a company, that had the DHL account. i was on my way back from Allentown, PA, and i got a call (yes we could talk on the phones back then) and i was told my run was no longer effective immediately. i said to the supervisor in Ohio that called me, "ok, i'm parking the truck, and getting a ride home"...(i was on I-95 in CT near the Waterford scales.
he then quickly said, "no, you cannot do that"
i said, "you just told me i don't have my job anymore"
"uh, ok, listen, take it back to the sorting center, and call me when you get there".
i got back, parked the trailer to the doors, and called him back.
he said, "ok, we arranged for you to continue on that run, you are not laid off, show up tonight, at your regular time"
"ok, will do, have a GOOD DAY"..
went back to work that night, and for several weeks after.......
i took no BS from an employer who was going to cut me off at the knees, and still wanted me to finish the job..??
that employer, lost the DHL contract, when DHL went belly up a few months after.............
i "saw" the writing on the wall when DHL made cutbacks with thier 3 planes, they only could fill up one..>!!!
and other things they were cutting back on.
i found another job, with no worries on my part.
and that wasn't my first time, either threatening to park a truck, or actually DID park a truck...(the defunct RPS now FedEx Ground, is one in which parking the truck took place)
time to bail is when the rumors are verified, screw the company.
