Family will always come first for me...I can't really speak for others....I give 100% because that's what they pay me to do, many give much less....125% I don't see at all and never would....If I did then rest assured I would give 25% less somewhere down the road....I'm anything but naïve and know exactly where I stand in the eyes of this company or any company for that matter....We are just cogs in the wheel and nothing more...We would be forgotten by the end of the week if not sooner....Whether this company makes money or not is really no concern to me as long as my check clears the bank. I come here and do my job with a positive attitude and let the chips fall where they may...I just have hope that things will get better and I don't think hope is such a bad thing.Your assuming they want to turn it into a premium company. CT is a privately held company, we have no idea if they have ever made a dime in profit. It could be used purely as a tax deduction for the Moroun's other enterprises. The amount of freight backing up is unreal not to mention the missed pick-ups, lack of scanners, and so on and yet no sense of urgency from CT. If you want to give 125%, and you want to sacrifice time with your family on a holiday for CT that's your choice.....they have a word for that though.....its called being NAIVE.
I'm reminded of the driver who received a "chasing greatness" award for coming to work even though his mother had just died. This thing we do is just a job and nothing more. I can assure if I were in that situation the last thing I would be concerned with is showing up for work.
