WHAT EVER HAPPENED:
TO PROFESSIONALISM? At our barn almost none of the drivers and some of the supervisors stopped wearing uniforms both on the road and on the dock. When I started many years ago it was a privilege to wear the uniform.
TO INVOLVEMENT? We used to participate in Red Ribbon, World Largest Convoy and other community projects. No more!
TO SAFETY? Forklifts operators not setting brakes; hostlers moving trailers with open doors; speeding on the yard and many other safety violations. Production first, safety when it is convenient.
TO EMPLOYEES FIRST? We are running contract runs and sitting line drivers at home.
TOEMPLOYEE APPRECTION? No holiday party, picnic or other events. Save money at all cost.
TO REWARDS FOR SERVICE? The top employees are taking a bigger hit than those under them. Losing pension contributions, vacation time and pay. Thanks for 20 years of service, not give us back %5000!
TO BENEFITS? With co-pays, deductibles and prescription changes, we lost another huge chunk of money. Some of us looked at employment here as a trade off. Others paid more, but we got better insurance. Not any more.
TOTRAINING? New hires used to get some serious training. Now it is a day and a half of videos and they show you where the truck is parked.
TO COMMUNICATION? Meetings used to be mandatory and everyone felt well informed. Now a meeting is sometimes held for city drivers. Dock guys and line drivers rarely see a meeting.
TO RESPECT? I used to feel that we were respected as employees and could talk to management. Now, the only time you see your manager is when you get called in to get your butt chewed.
These are just a few of the things I miss about their company. Feel free to add yours to the list.
