we just hired more in our area.......maybe they cut them because they couldn't produce? They get payed by a small salary and comission right?
Well I was producing and was let go yesterday. Smack in the face. I was promised that everything was good at YRC when I was hired in Dec '08.
I'm in favor of them getting rid of anyone that will not produce. There are too many people here that are just drawing a paycheck. As far as the sales people go......If they were not producing, show them the door. But, then replace them with someone with some ambition. We still need good sales people.
They laid off 2 sales people at 653 along with 2 more Jockeys and 2 more city drivers. Friday and Saturday our yard was anywhere from 35 to 75 moves behind making us wait up to 3 hours for trailers to be moved.
In worcester they let one go and are bringing another guy in from another terminalThis is the second round for sales people we only have 3 left now i think. As for our laid off guys I would guess that 20 or more are getting 40 plus hours a week. One of them asked a manager what would happen if none of the laid off worked for a week or more? He said I guess we would have to bring some guys back.
Laughing....I was in 531okc the other morning.some head sales rep and a tall goofy looking suit were having a town hall meeting with the city drivers or anyone that would listen.one rep was talking about how the night before they were wining and dining some priority shopper accts in that area.I was thinking how rude the meeting was.no donuts or anything for the drivers who actually get things done.maybe one of those reps were the ones fired...I dunno
