...wing it right back and add some of your own!

A couple weeks ago my supervisor was on a Skype conference call with the other offices. The CEO started talking about how our terminal is loosing money and they need to do cutbacks. Then he started questioning him about what I do and talking about how we don't need two people in the office for the amount of drivers we have.
Then it was pointed out that I was listening in and he started backpedaling.

Last week the head of safety was up to set our terminal up with an electronic log book system and had us write out our job descriptions for when the CEO was up this week.

The CEO showed up today and continued to talk about how it's not our fault, but that our terminal is loosing money and they need to do cutbacks to bring it in line. He went on about how we don't need all the equipment we have and that we don't need two mechanics and two office people.
He kept trying to pressure me into going back to driving. I said I would if we had the loads that I could do with my home schedule, but we don't get that many of them any more.
He was politely indifferent.

Eyup, looks like I might have plenty time to go riding soon.

The only thing that might save the trailer mechanic and I is the operations plan my supervisor spent his free time last week working on. It shows a viable way for us to be profitable, but I'm not going to hold my breath since upper management rarely accepts anyone's ideas until they've made them their own.
