over Heard an interesting conversation about newbie truck drivers.

We were unloading a truck this week and the truck driver was actually helping us. We don't have a loading dock so we have to drag heavy loads by chain and forklift to the end of the trailer to get to them with our forklift.

Not the company that trained them or the company that hired them without asking if they can drive stick.

Idk I'm just tired of older people automatically assuming it's the younger people at fault for issues in the workplace and not the companies.
