[QUOTE="728ups, post: 5102029, member: 33372"] LOTS of differences between then and now : when i started in 1985 one had to be at work,every on time. One had to do the job properly or one's ass was sent packing. No Call No Show was automatic termination. If someone laid out of work constantly or couldnt be on time eveery day progressive discipline was issued until that person was terminated. (the work force of that time had a better work ethic and tardiness and laying out of work were very very rare) One had to read charts and load package cars properly . If one had misloads that individual was put in the trailer to unload until that individual quit. We EARNED our money then,it was a much tougher environment . It was damned difficult to get 30 days ( i saw many people let go in the 80's that would be better than 99.9% of the preloaders today) From what i saw the last few years before i retired the entitlement attitude,the piss poor work ethic and generally all around lack of ability of the new hires showed me the pay rate is indeed correct,hell it may even be too much. also you are cute being so jealous that I retired young and am set for life. hahaahah try and ridicule all you want,call me boomer,I dont care. I made smart choices and enjoy every day of life. I'll think about you when i am sitting on the beach next week Hope you have fun working two jobs ! [/QUOTE]
