[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 4336930, member: 58386"] Good to hear that but here's a situation I saw too many times at Ground: Ground contractor to 55 year old box ox: "You've done a good job for me all theses years but I have to let you go. It's not that you're doing less it's just that you can't seem to do any more not only when it comes to doing your own ever increasing daily route load but also your growing inability to do the route of the guy who happened to call off that day along with your own. Dependable, long suffering contractor employed driver:.. " Ok, so if this is your way of rewarding loyalty then all I have to say is "hasta lavista, baby. I'm out of here as in right this very moment"....Starts walking out. Contractor: "But,but wait. You can't go yet. You have to stay 3 more weeks to train the guy who is going to replace you because I don't have a manager and I drive a daily route myself". Dependable, long suffering contractor employed driver: " You think so? Don't you remember? I am an "at will" employee and you've just told me that I've been replaced. Therefore, training and bringing the replacement up to speed is a contractor problem that requires a contractor solution". Believe me, I saw this situation plenty of times. [/QUOTE]
