I think you are the first to say it; I couldn't find anything on it..

You're forgetting 'Brucie"...he belongs in that catagory as well...maybe more so!
Dave M. has had his moments...just not 'Master and Commander' materiel...
John requires no 'Dog and Pony' show for his benefit. He has inherited some very bad situations and practices...of which I believe in time will be rectified. I met the man...I do believe he is sincere and is forced to do things he finds distasteful...some of which I vehemently disagree with but I have no control over.
Give the man a year...and I believe you may just see a difference in the way things may become as opposed to how they are now!
Keep in mind his boss is Stotlar...so he has to appease him as well as the board of directors...not an enviable position...
Some of the priima donnas in this company may just have rude awakening coming...we'll see...
And BTW some of you here would have a cow if you knew who recruited him...
The man studied at Cambridge University...not your average Con-Way exec....

Ever try to type when you're laughing?
This is the funniest piece of satire I've read in a long time!!!!
I think we should start calling HIM "What-A-Guy". Kinda rolls off the tongue...
He loves DSR's? And his favorite things are meeting them in the middle of the night (FAC)?
He's blown away by the driver's accomplishments?
Here's my fav;
Now this quote is good and should be made into a plaque to be mounted at Ann Arbor. It's got a Jack Kennedy thing going on... Very inspirational. What-A-Guy will be held in history along with Patton, Sherman, and Washington!
You're about to be promoted, aren't you?!? Good for you, but too bad for us, because SNL really needs some good writers.
And you say that Conway employees think for themselves. THAT's funny too.

Many of us will find little comfort in
anyone " FEELING BADLY " for what we were promised and worked hard for .
CNW made their CHOICES to TAKE ALL of
the MANY employee compensations concessions. CNW CHOSE NOT to HONOR ,
INTEGRETY , COMMITMENT , VALUES ,ect.
Actions speak louder than words .

Sustainability Iniative
:
: I here that all the time. What are we trying to sustain, the multi-million dollar bonuses being given to DS,JL, and Board of Directors? Check insider trading posting on MSN financial page for 1/26/09. Where were the concerns about sustainability then? Why are they forcing us to play cards to make a living?

Damn, and I was so sure I was going to get 100% support on this, too...I somehow was misled...
Say what you want, that's what the boards are for, but at the same time it affords me that equal opportunity...And in this case, I am going to say I am infinitely more qualified to talk about the man than you are...nothing personal..

Infinite is a lot! That would place my experiences and learned opinions at a level below yours that could never be quantified. That's a really low level.....if there was such a level. But there can't be because it is not finite. I could take that personally, but I won't because I strive to be tolerant of those with such strong faith and convictions.
If you were misled, it would have happened as a result of someone else misleading you and that would probably have to be one of your superiors. Or maybe a family member. Regardless, it would be someone you have confidence in. For the sake of this point lets call that person What-A-Guy. HE gained your confidence and mislead you into believing that HE was the second coming of the Supreme Omnipotent Corporate Presidents.....OK, forget what HE told you HE was but HE did say that all around you, people would agree that HE is great and all goodness.
So there is where your expectations were dashed; that all do not see the second coming as you do. This all sounds too over-the-top so I doubt you were misled...maybe delusional? Delusions are something that people can experience without the help of others.
Con men are called con men because they gain your confidence.

It is easy to pass judgments on those you don't know, especially when you have just been whacked with the takeaways...I will simply say it isn't fair to do so, but you are seeing only one thing right now, and not unjustly...remember, I had the very same things taken away..I just know some things right now that you don't, so this argument could go on forever, with only one of us knowing better..and we'll just end up pissed off and exhausted...not worth it..be safe if you're running tonight..
This has been my point all along...
I think Con-Way is nuts for some of the recent changes...and the focus of those changes were incorrect (but maybe that is just me!)
You have the priviledge of knowing things the rest of us can only guess about...OK..fair enough!!!
But I have to believe he is the right man for the job...I have no choice!
I can't fathom anyone of our recent leaders being able have the foresight and ingenuity to handle this...
Perhaps maybe we should get behind him...support him...and see what falls out of the trees. What do we have to lose???

Perhaps if CNW HAD good , great , knowledgable ,
perceptive , LEADERSHIP , they would have been
more enlightened and avoided the PRESENT problems.
These LEADERS were not nor are they NEW HIRES .
The WARNING SIGNS were all CLEARLY POSTED .

Keep in mind these changes were corporate wide to one degree or another...
Makes me wonder just how much or how little impact John L. had in the decison making process...and how much was Doug S. and the board of directors involved in the decision making process...
Just food for thought!

Hi folks....Just got back from la. with my daughter and had a great time conway didn.t exist.....found out about losing my four weeks of vacation and I finally thru in the towel, Ive added up my loses and I am angry. I've taken all I can and then some. Approx. 15% paycut (5%in pay ,5%in retirement for 401,3%in transition .)My retirement at 65 is around 700 per month at my age 60, I can't recover. I know John and box boss you are right he is a good man but he works for a worthless board of directors. As older drivers we have been screwed and I for one didn't like it. I have always been against the union but right now I am against the board. I have been blessed in my life to work with a co. whose founder and pres. treated us very well. I worked in mgmt. for a few years but it became to political after the owner retired and I quit and came to work for conway, what they did was sell me a bill of goods . I've always given 110 % and people who know me will tell you the same. I'll still give it my all even with my broken down body......I will still give the customers great service and hold my head high, but if I were the board of directors I would only say one thing to them YOU ARE WRONG..........
