An old man's career goes flat, Snackbar moves to open deck

The white collars doing the firing know the price of everything and the value of nothing.

If the fired woman eased the anger and frustration of a driver so they ended up staying, then you probably save $10K in recruitment and training costs of their replacement. Not to mention better morale and productivity.

 

They fire the sake of firing.

Money has nothing to do with it other than their justification.

 

I think you probably need to sit down with a professional and work through some things.

 

Uh of the 4 people fired since the first week of January, zero, none, not one of their positions have been posted. They aren’t looking for replacements, those jobs will be absorbed by others. They just saved $3-400k a year.

 

Gotta hit that productivity metric, I used to hate that crap, keep adding on responsibilities and then hammering people when they couldn’t accomplish all of their goals.

I’m sure in addition they’ll start getting called into meeting all the time as well.

 

Nah man, it is just a deep understanding of English Common Law and the concepts of Master and Servant.

This notion of employers and employees both having the same motivation- money, is far from the actual truth.

'Course money as the sole reason for every business decision keeps the simple minds satisfied.

 

Well I don’t know what all this
gobbledygook about English common law means, nor do I really care to find out. Back to trucking.

hauled these crates from CA to Wichita. The tarp job rode alright until I had to fight a 30 mile an hour head wind in Kansas today. Lost a few d rings on the front flap when it decided to have a party in the wind.

At the house now, heading to load a 16’ tall dust collector in KY on Monday. Rumor has it 1-3 drivers are quitting a day. So far, nothing has really changed for me.

 

I hear ya. Merging of companies and eliminating positions is a topic that superceeds just trucking.
