Safety & HR have been combined under 1 VP effective mid Spetember. That VP is named Karla, yes the same Karla that was Safety Director. Michelle Richards the previous VP of HR left SAIA sometime mid July, early August. No communication regarding her departure to the troops, no surprise there.
If you ask management about why Michelle left, they cannot/will not say. Will be interesting to see how HR issues get handled now, especially the heavy handed video approach that's being pursued by management.
 
By putting her in charge of both it makes her solely responsible for the majority of our recruiting & driver retention issues... And from the unsubstantiated rumor mill this was done as a sort of solve the problems or your done kind of move

identifying those issues is easy. The challenge is to fix the issues. Saia has painted themselves into a corner here and Unless they reverse themselves (which they won’t), the problems will only persist and worsen.
 
the powers that be must have really appreciated her heavy handed approach to all things safety related or they never would have appointed her reich chancellor of HR/SFTY lol
It's the companies way of getting rid of her. Too much power, and the whole thing comes apart. Ask any mechanic.
