Hello there. First time posting, been lurking for awhile now. I’ll keep it short and simple. I am 35 y/o (M) and have bounced around jobs for what feels like forever. Just recently started a non cdl driving job for a large grocery chain. It’s an overnight job but the pay and benefits are ok.
I have done everything for this company since starting, work random schedules mon-sun, take on double routes when there’s not enough drivers, take extra stops, have even done all the routes and been to all the stores.
Now corporate is changing things up this month and they are calling my position a “floater”, which means on stand by or on call mon-sun. I am hired on full time, show up for every shift, stay all 8 hours, even stay late sometimes. But now I’m getting bumped off routes for temp drivers.
The management favors drivers that want the same route and same truck every shift. I tried to get a route but every time I was taken off the route because another driver would complain about not getting the same route, same truck.
I really like this job but it’s so poorly managed, the plant manager doesn’t even know my name and last night the assistant manager didn’t even know my name. I’m finishing up my 5th week tonight and I really don’t want to quit. But its as if they are trying to force me out or make me find another position.
