      Once he ran the job and found out just how frustrated those employees were, THEN he corrected the situation. I think a lot of CEO's run their companies how they think is the best way, but there's a difference from it being on paper, until you actually do it. And I wouldn't say it's ignorance, more like he's unaware of it. That's why if someone is going to make up some company and be CEO, they need to actually do the work first, because then they can lay down ground rules that make sense and that work for everyone.

      It's can be done in a good way. The guy can get out of the van when he get to her, say hi and give her a coffee or something. He can also ask her if there where any problems, and help move information directly from her to management. Make her feel management is watching to take care of her, not to spy on her. He can report about what she do, she can know management check up on her, but it can be done in a cordial way.

      I told this to senior management at my last job when I abandoned my post to take my lunch break (which we are legally entitled to. A break MUST ve provided by employers). It is a post that is always meant to be manned but we are desperately short staffed so there is never anyone to cover for me and management didn't want me closing up for an hour so one day I just walked away. I got a 'please explain' from senior management so I told them that I'm legally entitled to a meal break like everyone else and I shouldn't have to remain at my post and work through it so unless one of them is willing to cover me I'll just be walking away. The following day they had a rightfully pissed off junior manager give up his break to cover mine. Lol. None of senior management does anything of importance (confirmed by two operations managers who share an office with them) but you can bet they won't miss out on their lunch! Glad to be out of that toxic place.

And not sure if forming a task force is the best way to do it but for him it probably is because he probably doesn't feel like his expertise on this matter is sufficient.

I can only assume unloading on the new guy is a way to vent. But I sometimes wonder if it's an effort to goad me into something that will surely get me fired. I've worked with a couple of those before.

    Lol, watching this from the perspective of an ex WM employee, this is hilarious. As guys we peed in a bottle or hide in alleys and go behind the truck, into the truck. Almost everyone does it. The expectations are high.
    You do however get a generous break to do things but sometimes you gotta go and you are too far away from a bathroom or it's after your break and don't want to make a habit of falling behind or those white trucks start to follow you just to find reasons to get rid of you.
    There are other union jobs out there that are far easier on the body and mind. Much cleaner industries that also pay much more. I work on trains now. Get paid nearly double from the very start, for similar time commitment.
    High power linemen union gets paid even more!!! Dangerous job, sure. But it's hard to sneeze at a quarter million a year.
    WM needs to do more for it's employees, and I already know that are trying and it's a great company to work for, but could be better honestly. Those rear loader trucks have no business being assigned to residential jobs. They make the job way harder than it should be. Front loader is the way to go for residential and even for commercial work.

    As a garbage man that has a curbside route, I keep an eye out and note where all portapottys are (parks are a great place). Commercial drivers have it a little easier because they can use the bathroom at the various businesses they pick up. It does suck but if you limit your liquid intake while on route it's easier. It does suck in the summer time when you're downing Gatorade and water like crazy, but take the 15 minutes to find a bathroom. Also, some routes have you dumping multiple times a day so just use the bathroom at the facility.

You said it's been a long time coming slowly but surely the job was no longer fun or manageable. He woke up at 4 every morning to make his routes. He would have had his routes done before 1 because he was so efficient. They saw that as room to make him work more so they added more work on top about to leave early even if his work was done.

    I like WM quite a lot & they let me pay a year ahead.
    I live with the alley next to my house (drive is on the alley). The neighbor on the opposite side of the alley also uses WM. The truck comes down the street. Stops, picks my trash up, then has to back up the alley to pick up her trash. In an effort to help out the driver...... I put my trash on my side of the alley , which meant all he had to do was drive down the alley & do both at the same time with no backing involved. (my trash is supposed to be at the curb). He did it twice. Easy peasy for him & honestly time saving a bit too. Then he stopped. I'm assuming someone spotted him picking mine up where it wasn't supposed to be......because seriously, it's tons easier on him to just do both in the alley.
    I don't care either way, I was just trying to make it less complicated for him.
    I'm glad this corporate guy took responsibility. I hope they give more thought to the routes.. Sure it should be efficient, but it's not a darn race. Trash is a necessary service & these people need to be treated well.

    Some of these companies and their so called "leaders" lose touch with reality. I understand that there are employees you sometimes have to watch over but the expectation and standards they set are unrealistic. You cannot expect to run the business from an office without really knowing what goes on in the real world not the world they've created on their mind. Build relationships first, the profits will follow.

    I managed car washes for some years for a company that bought, renoed and sold them. I have long and old experiences with WM- none good. I and my employer at the time were threatened with non pick up, have had parked trach trucks left on our property blocking entrances and chronic lies from their customer service people. Their old organized crime heritage still shows all these years later. The exec taking responsibility was new- I hope he doesn't get "transferred or removed by other means". My ;last round with them was about a WM dumper left on the lot of a car wash that had been inop for a few months- the company bought it out of the estate- and when we tried to get WM to come pick up their dumper, they wanted us to pay a years fees that it said were outstanding. It ended when I told them they had 24 hos to pick up their junk- in hour 25 I would cut the thing to pieces to haul off for scrap and send them the scrap yard check. It was picked up by a local company officer along with leaving a nasty letter threatening all sorts crap. No, not a fan, even with the most caring HR guy in the world- the rest of it is garbage.

    Ah, Undercover Boss. First, we pretend that the employees don't know because of all the cameras and the guy in a terrible wig, hat, and glasses. Then we add at least one employee who does something completely selfless and gets a scholarship, special position, or promotion that helps that one person but no one else. Then we add one piece of drama that shows that the place doesn't run correctly, and the boss is "on it" by fixing that one issue but nothing else. Finally, we sometimes add one bad employee to show that the boss doesn't tolerate people who cheat, lie, or abuse employees to make the company more money. Then, sometimes we fire the boss because he can't perform the job, just to show how "hard" the job is. Which justifies firing everyone else who doesn't meet the metrics they use in the company. Love the formula of the entire show. So unrealistic.
