The Review has become a joke, they rarely side with the driver no matter how many years he has in the company. Was a time you could actually talk to them and explain what happened and they would take all information into account. Now it's a kangeroo court.

That was back in the day when 'commitment' and 'excellence' actually meant something...not just words constantly repeated in video after video attempting to indoctrinate the average employee in to believing the propaganda the Palace feels is necessary to keep the peeps motivated.
This organization does seem to have some good ideas...the e-track system...the handhelds...new trucks...and the like.
All these things will have some benefits and an ROI that should be on the positive side.
Where this company is failing miserably is in its handling of the rank and file...the average Joe is just trying to do their damndest to accomodate the daily job requirements laid at their feet...
Nothing is ever good enough.
Its constantly more...more...more.
Then when something goes awry...its adios.
It is a sad and pathetic commentary on the state of the company's view of their people...and we are just that...people...not numbers...and we all are subject to mistakes.
It is obvious from Longtimeltlt's experience that the only thing this company has in place is some machine blindly and without consideration following an idiotic mechanism that de-personalizes the individual.
This is not leadership...nor is it excellence...it is stupidity.
When any organization takes on the positition of being an employer there are responsibilties...not only from the employee...but also from the employer...who holds all the cards...they are the ones who have the say in the employees continuity or lack thereof...and it isn't a charge that should come lightly...and this is something in which Con-Way fails miserably.
Yes...Dougie...John...and the BOD may be selling a bill of goods to the public with all the safety award nonsense... the culture crap...and this weeks dog and pony show...but as I said...internally this company is a disaster...
Remember when Fatbeard just couldn't wait to get rid of the service excellence patches on the old CCX uniforms...it was just a prelude of things to come. No recognition...no honor...no respect...just the notion everyone was equal regardless of service and expertise.
They can throw all the money they possess at improving this company...and for a time it will be effective...but it won't last.
It is the people that makes this company what it is...and it isn't one person...not John...not Doug...nor the BOD...it is a team effort...live or die.
Scanners...e-track systems...and new trucks don't make a company...its the people.
And it is a damn shame this company refuses to acknowledge this very true and essential fact.
