leaving roehl

I sent an article like that to my ops manager after I left. I think the one I sent stated 89% were planning on looking for new jobs this year. I thought it might be eye opening, but I think it missed the mark.

 

I remember from college, employees and employers were surveyed on what employees really wanted. The two lists were completely opposite of each other. You would think that after all these years employers would figure out that they really don't know their employees and would take steps to fix it. Unfortunately until employers follow Carnegie's philosophy instead of viewing employees as nothing more than a commodity to be used up then thrown away you will always have high turnover.

In case you are wondering someone asked Dale Carnegie about how he made steel. His reply was "I make men, they make steel." Carnegie was behind the idea of the free lending library concept and many small towns have him to thank for their libraries.

 

I had Tom Messer for a FM, boy was he a pain... There does that make you feel better??? Not really but here is the real deal, if your FM knows what your expectations are and you know his/hers, then you both have a better chance of being successful. Communication is the name of the game. So if you can't be bothered to take time to see your FM and have a face to face sit down, or if your FM can't be bothered, then DON'T CRY ABOUT IT!!! Most guys quit the first time something goes wrong or doesn't go the way they think it should, so that is why alot of companies don't go out of the way to make drivers happy. You can't make everyone happy...

 

You suck too....but at least I made the list now.

 

That's real mature.

 

Can't be Tom, Tom hates me, and I think Tom got canned for flipping out into profanity-laden tirades on his drivers. I heard he also eats babies.

 

I didn't hate you. The rest is true.

 

I'm actually known quite well for my maturity. Paoldschool and I go back. I drove him off my fleet in record time.
