XPO | Does conway freight care about their employes
- Thread starter Ontime
- Start date
While I agree many things have changed in this company over the years...I have worked at far worse places, even taking into account the changes we have had.
I spent 15 years OTR as a company driver and a L/O before coming to Con-Way 10 years ago and would still take this job over my old one any day of the week. My family life has gone from constantly on the ropes to a championship team. I won't give that up for anything.
Perspective always seems to be clouded by the little things, but I think if most people look at the big picture, and their alternatives to the current situation, they seem to regain some of that perspective. I'm not saying Con-Way is the best job out there, or that there aren't any better jobs out there, but there are definitely a lot worse positions to be in.
I have been lucky that I have been able to stay in the city, and now, since a few L/H drivers have moved on, and a few that hate the thought of working the city that my city bid is secure going forward. I know many of you guys have your L/H bids, and love them, but it's not for me. I don't mind taking a L/H run on the odd night here and there, or for a week if we are shorthanded, but the city is where I enjoy myself.
Does Con-Way care about their employee's? For the most part, I would say yes. However, there has certainly been a significant disconnect since we were three separate entities. That is what happens when the HR pool gets bigger, and has less lifeguards to monitor it.
I have always said since the day I started here, if I find a better job, I will move on...10 years and counting.
