I agree!! I'm working my last night in my current job in CLT tonight.
Thanks to our union garbage. I'm being bumped to PIT. I will be starting a job that I have never done before. I will have to get spooled by someone up there...and thankfully they have already made contact with me in advance , offering any assistance I might need before or after my arrival.
In the same spirit, I'm being replaced in CLT by someone who's never performed my job before either. I have resolved to offer them the same degree of help until the last minute I'm there. Afterall...It's not this persons fault directly , that I'm being bumped out of station. Sure I had the option to throw in the towel...but I think it will be an adventure to go somewhere new...and learn something else prior to whatever the ultmate end result for U might be?
Keep in mind that those whom count on us as paying passengers deserve nothing short of our best efforts in all respects. Knowing the caliber of people we have..I'm sure this will always be the case , no matter how we are being treated while doing so.
When and if the end comes?...at least my self-respect and pride will remain in tact. I can take the final walk out the door , knowing I did my best...and it's not my fault that things failed , If and when it comes to that?
