    They hired the Duck Dynasty group to redo the drivers lounge, a job that should have taken 6 months, took a year. Now they are doing the new wash bay and shop bays. This should work out as a retirement job.

    There is; however, your best bet is on here. There is too much drama on those pages, IMO. And if you don't agree 100% with the status quo (and if you know me, you know I'm not one not to voice my opinion), poof, you're gone. Yes, that did happen to me. Not once, but twice. Once because I made a comment to check your settlement sheets (which you should be doing anyway) because mine had been incorrect 3x in a row. I got a call from the office and was told that a team decided not to join us because of it. Poof, gone. Once because someone was telling office staff things about what was on the FB pages. Poof, gone (along with several others that were suspected).

    I know JB is on some of them, so I'm sure he has a different opinion on them, but for me, I'm too blunt for my own good, so it's best to stay away from them. Mostly keep to myself IRL as well. If I'm on the yard, I'm usually in my truck, unless it's in the shop. Keeps me out of trouble, mostly.

    I am on them, but in total agreement, this is the place to gain insightful information. I like reading the Facebook pages, very rarely add anything on them.
     
    Lonesome and KD5AXG Thank this.

    Made it to the yard and was able ro sneak home for the night...benefit of living really close. Hoping to test ino stage 3 in the am and then go tackle rhe northeast.

    As someone who made a midlife career change this whole thread was very helpful in reassuring me the chances of keeping the house car and wife were good as compared to some other company threads on here. There is much benefit in both the positives and negatives of peoples experiencea with the company and how things grow ovee time


    So ready to be on my own....


    Stay safe everyone

    Well, I highly doubt @JohnBoy actually exists... Been here a year now and have yet to cross paths with him... LOL ;-)

    I was heard rumors of a private FB group but how a password was required... Guess I haven't really missed it.

    And if one is to be expelled from the "private" group, what the sense of having a "private" group???
     
    Finfn1372 Thanks this.

    Guess my response would have been, "guess someone needs to make sure the settlement sheets are correct the first time... then maybe they would have joined the team"

    But that's just me... {shrug}

    That was pretty much my response. Along with I guess they really weren't interested in the first place.
