Step #1: show up
It’s not as easy as it looks after years and years of mind-numbing repetition and an all-time low level of internal motivation. Apparently there is no penalty for calling-in sick once a week and showing up late consistently. Just as it appears to me that there is no reward for showing up on time everyday and never calling-in. Keeping labor costs down is a priority, they say. Cost-of-living pay increases are unheard of when all we hear about is the cost of living continuing to rise. Employee retention is high, to the untrained eye. While employee satisfaction is low because there’s no place else to go. Ten years ago you could change messenger jobs as often as you changed your socks.  That is no longer the case.

If you told me, ten years ago, that Stealth will pay its riders hourly and ABC will be commission, I would say, no way.

Take the elevator to the mezzanine. Take the back side.

Take the tunnel. Take the stairs.

Take a break.

move aside and let the man go through
