Default Re: GM Facts and Fiction

I ran a regional distribution center in Columbus OH, we were non-union, however it seemed as though it was a union shop...
"That's not my job",
"I am not delivering to that customer",
"That's not my normal route so I'm not running it",
"I am not helping to unload the trucks" are just a few of many moronic statements my employees would spout off soon after I took over...
can you guess what happened to EVERYONE of the idiots who engaged their mouths before their BRAINS... WALKING PAPERS... after 3 dismissals in 5 days employee moral increased and the remaining did all the work with fewer employees the dist center was profitable with-in 2 months and everyone got bonuses and a raise!

I would have never contemplated telling my employer what I was or was not going to do, my belief has always been that my employer is paying me to do whatever they tell me they want done, doesn't matter if I'm an executive and they want me sweeping the floor.
As far as I am concerned Subordination is grounds for dismissal... you have to nip that kinda crap in the bud or else the rest of the employees get "ideas".
