thanks i know it sucks...ive been hearing it from pretty much everyone for the last five months+ thats why i said it...here it is...i dont want to name my employer, but i deliver packages...my job title is a courier...after 90 days my route since i had one route went up for bid to everyone in the company...a 31 year employee got my route...even though i have a ton of pissed off customers ive left, who i hv been with for the last 6-7 years...im gonna miss em a bunch and that sucks...
this employee was a float driver, meaning he does not have his own route...so im faced with bidding on a job that is above me...which is harder to do...my company is saving my "position" as a courier...that is what they are holding...that is what they by law need to do...that is what they hold for me...im ok with that...i knew it coming into the surgery...but i was not going to be able to deal with not being able to do my job the way i need to and not being able to row my driftboat...i had to take the chance at surgery..now that i have done the surgery i would not have lasted very much longer...i completly tore the front and rear labrum and part of the rotator....going into the surgery we thought at the least 4 weeks off, 3 months off at the worst...i woke up and they said it was severe...5 weeks in a sling and 5 months off work...i was a bit devistated...but such as life...there really is nothing i can do...i love my job in a sense i enjoy what i do...i love my customers...maybe not my co-workers...but im hoping wherever i go people wont need to know everyones business...i came from a station of over 500 peeps...we all got along we had fun together, partied together, heck 2 people from my work got impregnated at my first wedding...but when i came to this station...there were only about 23 of us...everyone is in everyones business and we all clash in so many ways...it may be the best thing that has ever happened to me...i try to think that things happen for a reason, and just flow with it...the only thing that sucks is that they have since ive been gone they have hired another full timer, bumped up a part timer and are now offering two part time postions, which i cant afford only 17.5 hours a week...i got to go where the cash is...i just wish they would have thought about me a little more...but this is a top 10 companys to work for, so how much can i really complain...and would i really want to...where else would i make what i make without a college degree...which they are helping me pay for college??? sorry didnt want to get too far into it...but they can do what they did...it just sucks....bottome line is they have a job title for me...ill just have to move...but it doesnt mean i wont move back...the question is would i want to...this may be my out...
