I am living the dream. I get paid well, I am home everynight, and I have a really nice start time. I can take care of my wife and kids, I live in a nice house and drive a nice car. I get to go fishing at least once a week, sometimes more. I like my job and 99% of the people I work with. What more do you want from life.
You want Con-way to say sorry for pay cuts and more costly benefits? You want Con-way to ask for forgiveness for axing the pension? Its not going to happen because Con-way is a corperation, not a person. You want Con-way to be WHAT????? A kinder, gentler, more careing Con-way? Its a job driver, thats all it ever was and all it ever will be and inspite of all the stuff you read on this board its a really GOOD JOB. We have it better than most and that is pretty good in my book. It is what it is WTF. :threadsux: :threadsux: :threadsux: :threadsux:

Every since they shut down CF a lot of us has been wondering how they would go about cutting our pay and benefits. The reason they started the Con-Way systems to begin with was they wanted to do away with CF .Anyone that doesn't realize that either is too young and wasn't in the business or is in denial . Now that CF is gone it's time to work on lowering the Con-Way Pay. Now we know. It is only a matter of time before more is cut. While they are cutting the drivers benefits and pay they are keeping their own pockets full . I don't expect any of them to be kind and gentle. BUT I DO EXPECT SOME HONESTY SOMEWHERE DOWN THE LINE!!! They keep talking about what the 5 Stars stands for, they need to practice what they preach for a change !!!! :rant: :rant:

How quickly we forget. You got a raise/return of 1/2 your pay at the first of the year. After that, I did not expect any other bump ups until next year. Now, if Conway started making money hand over fist, I would expect my 401 match back and maybe the rest of the pay cut and maybe a raise.
So, now that I have reminded everyone that we have had a bump this year, can you really expect any thing else? I know I would like to make more money and have more to spend but it is what it is. It is a good job and you do make a decent living. Sure there is lots to complain about but just remember, the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.
