What a crock....When the ULTRA VALUABLE executives threaten to leave, AA compensates, where the rest of us are told if you don't like it, leave.
Spare us the BUSINESS SCHOOL 101 rhetoric that money doesn't motivate. IT SURE AS HELL MOTIVATES THE EXECUTIVES, DOESNT IT, MIKEY?
Morale is more than wage related, When someone doesn't have to work two jobs, he/she can spend more time with family.
And you have some balls saying people on the line are lazy when you are up in a warm or cool cabin putting your rolls and cookies in the oven.
Try working in extreme weather conditions on the ramp doing all the jobs only lazy people want to do.
Where were you when AA executives were compaining how they were under compensated compared to other executives at other companies? You only seem to have issues with the people on the ground.
I think FA Mikey's post were only directed at FA's, but that is not the point. Everyone thinks they deserve more money. I want more money and my family wants more money. Like many of you, I think people around me deserve less money, but complaining about it doesn't fix anything. Neither does doing my job poorly.
If Mikey was implying that everyone in the company is slacking off but him, then yes, let's attack him, but if he was just making a point that people around him have used money as a crutch for less than full effort, than why the outrage?
If the possible new TWU contract leads to increased wages and a stronger tie to the work brought in, why can't that be done for other workgroups? Would that make everyone happier and more motivated?
