Corporate America ruins everything

It’s all about power. If you dare stand up to them and exercise your contractual or legal rights, they don’t like that. Even though you might be excellent at your job, safety, customer service, etc.

To management you are a problem that could spread throughout the workforce like a fire. Hence the harassment.
It’s better to burn out than fade away!

I already went to a.trade.school and here I am.
So them you understand my point. In your experience you must have chosen money, schedule, or some other reason to change careers. If you successfully finished a task the foreman didn't look for sadistic ways to frock with you. There was camaraderie in the results and challenges. Common sense and normal human interactions. I bad supervisor can create a toxic work environment and resentment. But then there's the "ways to reduce stress" safety messages. How about stay home and let the adults do the work. I can't believe I'm saying it but bring on the AI if it's merely metrics that define success. I actually like the work.

I get your point but you can't blame drivers for working the easiest day of the week for $600.

No commercial bulk, barely any business
No pickups
No early commit

All gravy for $66/hr.

I drive a 6 year old sedan. I do have to park near 25 full size trucks when I arrive in the morning though.

Why do you even care what corporate says or does? Just show up, do your job, and go home. If you want a say in how the company is ran go into management
^^This^^

Who honestly cares about someone who doesn't care about you? My customers do, so I come in, get my airs accounted for, and head out.

Management is walking around dealing with their eff ups from the previous day and trying to figure out how they are going to get the work done with the routes that get cut every day because they are a few stops short.

Not my problem, they create these issues. Here's a thought, take a few stops from the route that has 200+ and leave the routes in.

Again, their problem, follow the M&P and go home when done. Not rocket science.

Any organization needs a chain of command to have a direction and achieve a goal. RickyB's theories on worker control over companies would achieve little advancement and likely not survive.

Everyone has different skill sets and levels of intelligence. Usually, there's a reason someone climbs to the level of CEO. A leader is needed to steer a business in a carefully planned manner. Ever hear the term "designed by committee"? They are the crappy designs because too many people got involved in decision making. Could a movie ever be completed without a director?

It's all a pipe dream to think that we can all be equal and all be in control of the companies we work for. If you have a problem being the peon, be the CEO of it's so easy.
theyre not theories, america has some of these kinds of businesses. spain has a big one and theres not much inequality in it, maybe about 10x more than the lowest paid worker vs america's 350x ceo pay.

i think michael moores capitalism a love story was made like this although he was still a director

im ok with 1 person capitalist business. but if its 2 people or more they gotta be partners. how do 2 people decide on things if they disagree?

Every system concentrates power. The rulers & the peons. At least in capitalism anyone has the opportunity to work themselves upward. The other systems you are stuck in the caste system - ruler or peon.
A family member works for a nonprofit health center, ceo is an avowed socialist. Top 5 or so employees who make over 100k get $10k Christmas bonus checks every year, all the rest of the peons...$100.
A very good Friend of mine helped change a company into an employee owned company. Top dogs make triple the peons.
No Matter what system you want to move to there will always be a major disparity between the elite and the peon.
Look at ups, it's a picture of what socialism does to a worker group. Everyone makes the same regardless of their work ethic. The hard workers get tired of carrying someone else's water so they stop working hard(at least if they are smart).
i dont think someone earning 3x a peon is a major disparity, that sounds quite good.

yea i think power corrupts.
