At my job, we've started a new service where we come to the customers instead of them coming to us, and we get paid by the manufacturer (this is a dealer) for each ride we do.
Well, the GM just told my co worker that the owners of the dealership are just loving the money we're making. I get the feeling I'm gonna get stiffed if there's a bonus in order. I swear everyone else is getting something out of it, because everyone just loves all this money the dealer is getting, and they promote the crap out of this service, doesn't matter the time of day.
I've had to stay past closing time to get these cars back to the customers. But that's not what bothers me.
What I'm pissed off at is the fact that they nobody stops to think and say “hey, our drivers also contributed to this money, let's give them a bonus, too”. I have to deal with the angry customers sometimes, or with the 1 million questions they have when I arrive.
There's something about this that smells fishy, it's like everyone is getting something out of it except me, the person actually doing the work. I've talked about this a some people at work and they seem to get super defensive about it. My manager even said that me getting paid every week is my bonus. Not when I'm taking my time after work to make you money.
If nothing improves, I'm gonna look for other work. We'll see how they can deliver these cars back with driver's. And before anyone says that they'll replace me the next day, we've had ads out since the beginning of the year and nobody has applied. What does that tell you?
