In just the almost 5 years I spent here I was passed over so many times that I lost count. Perhaps it was age discrimination but whatever it was I still supported the company. I never considered myself a senior level guy as far as seniority but to have new guys being offered routes while I was stuck in a BS utility position running unassigned for the first 3 years was just wrong. They rationalized it because I was older and perhaps not as fast but actually I could have stayed up with any of them given the opportunity. The longer it went on the more I was less motivated to step it up. Stealing was a problem here at one point but that was mostly brought on because of the inequities. When I left security had improved but morale had declined. I’ve never seen it worse. As guys continued to leave so did pallet jacks. No accountability as far as they go. That was just poor management. OS&D was just another way to steal. I couldn’t tell you how much crap I saw. In the end I just wanted out because of all the unethical behavior being allowed. I wanted no part of it. In all honesty I’m not actually retired or at least I’m not taking my Social Security. I have had a part time business take off that I could no longer manage while continuing to work full time. It’s mostly ran by family members so I’m still able to do lots of fishing (one of my passions) and do much less physical work when I choose to work. We all need to work in some form for mental health. I’m happier than I’ve ever been in my life. I had to go through hell to get here but all my hard work has finally paid off.
