You may find this hard to swallow Greg,I'm the only liberal in management at my company.There are 150 employee's,including long line and local drivers and support staff.I deal with issues everyday that include all the subjects discussed.
Last week one of our long line drivers who happens to be African American deserted one of our(he was not o/o) units in Michigan. Walked away,stole all the on board equipment and owe's us thousands in advances.He justifed his actions by saying he got the bad loads that were left after the white drivers got the good loads.Fact is,his claims ratio was bad,his on time deliveries were bad and his truck (our truck) was always filthy.I will deal with this situation the same way I deal with all the other similar situations that come up. By the book,the legal book.
It's not my idea of candycanes and lollypops,but then again I have no delusions,like some,about how corporate business really works,in Ann Arbor,Birmingham or San Francisco. My politics play no role where I work,zero. I've been there 23 years and have worked my way up to my position based on accomplishment and hard work,even while I ran my expedite business at night.
I have been the butt of liberal jokes the entire time, but I'm judged on my production and commitment,not loolypops etc, (how childish Greg).
You sound bitter Greg,bitter about what everyone did to you.You sound like a victim.That is not how you make it in the corporate world. Victims come and go my friend. They have one thing in common,it was somebody else's fault,never mine.If I took personally what has been tossed my way by the conservatives I work with I would have bailed years ago. I just give it back with respect and we work together as a well oiled team. You love the blame game Greg,I suggest it may have cost you more then you would be willing to admit.
