I taught my children very young that asking questions about things they don’t understand is a great way to learn. I also taught them not to waste my time by asking questions of which they already knew the answer.

Let’s face it. Modern day Capitalism definitely hurts a ton of people. Yes, my 401k does well. But at the expense of many. When you buy a really cheap item made in China or lots of other places, there’s a steep cost to those who made it just so little Timmy could have a cheap beach ball.

How in the Hades do some of them get the job and, after demonstrating such incompetence, how do they keep it?

It’s easy for them to keep the job, but it’s an interview position. I wonder what criteria they use?

yea i noticed at my job alot of managers are incompetent too. im not sure why this happens, maybe because the ppl who work with them most (the workers) have no say in whos the manager.

the price in these goods doesnt account for the real cost, its externalized. its all bs

i think the top 10% of hte pop owns 90% of all stocks. 50% of americans dont own any stock and the ones they do are going to be marginal. its largely a rich mans game

Dispatcher isn't an easy job. The dispatcher for the sta I work at is covering multiple stations.

Same can be said for many couriers, at least at my station.

the whole ppl suck at their job argument is sortve dumb. firstly ppl should respect each other at work which alot of ppl dont even do. then the employees should meet a bare minimum requirements of production.

No disagreements there. For whatever reasons, our station has great stats. We have a very good management team and senior manager.

 

[whenIgetthere]

Worked with a guy who got the trots on his PM route once many years ago. Wound up with about ten late pick ups, dispatch never said anything. Manager asked him the next morning what happened.

He didn’t send a message to dispatch asking for help?

That I don't recall, it was probably 12 or 13 years ago.

 

[MassWineGuy]

I’ve learned that contacting dispatch when you have a problem isn’t enough. You’d better also inform your manager in case some on the fly choice needs to be made. Such as, should I get this last stop and be
back really late, or skip it and get back so all my freight can get out on time? If you do that, you won’t be the one in the hot seat.
