    I worked there for 14 months. Do you think I'd be going back on Monday if they were the yelling type?

    I had a driver that felt everyone was YELLING at him regardless of who talked to him , he no longer works here ( for the company I own, Nothing to do with IRT ) and his new employer is going through the same BS.

    And they are that way because they know they're the only ones with enough trucks and drivers to handle the freight volume their customers give them, and their customers know it too

    Oakley and Bynum combined don't have the equipment to move IRT's freight. Nothing against them, doesn't mean they're bad or inferior to us, but IRT's customers don't have anyone else they can call who can move as much as we can move

    I've seen those kind of guys, too. Anything that you say to them that is the least little bit critical, even if you're trying to help them through a rough spot or improve their performance, is considered YELLING.
    Some of these thin skinned people should have the opportunity to experience real yelling. I know a couple of old time mill bosses and loggers who could really show them what actual yelling is all about. They'd know the difference then. After their ears quit ringing, that is. :biggrin_25516:
