Guess what...sales people are going to be recieving bonuses. They take our pay, 401k, vacation, blah, blah. Sales reps didn't take a pay cut to begin with and now they are going to get a bonus. Those that go out and sell their cheap freight that helps the company lose money, will be getting rewarded for it. What sense does this make? Just don't know anymore guys...
 
Well, we had a nice 3.8 mil loss for the quarter, so the above seems surreal if true. Well if O'Dell can pay out any kind of bonuses to anyone after the tough year we've had, then I say NO NEW LAYOFFS. IN fact, lets call a few of those folks back to work! I know the TM's around here had a 2 day meeting in HST last week. Here's to hoping the axe don't fall again...
 
There was a meeting in CLT as well. It's just the usual TM's and sales rep meeting that happens every now and then. What I posted is true. It was not something I heard from another driver. 100% verified.
 
There has always been a bonus program for salaried employees. It was based on the company meeting it's profit goal and stock prices. Then there was a percentage of profit set aside for bonuses. The individual had goals to meet before they were paid a bonus. As a rep you had to exceed sales goals in each category and as a TM you had to hit safety goals and production goals. However, if the company did not hit the goals no bonus was paid. I would be hard pressed to believe that bonuses were paid this year. I know that the last bonuses to employees was about 2007. We did not get a bonus in 2008 or 2009.

Easy there jack knife. Saia management monitors this board VERY frequently with the help of their employees. Union talk WILL get you fired if "HE" finds out who you are.
