I am just curious as to how any of this has anything to do with the problems this airline is currently facing. Doug Parker is the CEO, whether you like it or not, and has been granted a compensation package commensurate with performance. How does his compensation affect you at all?
I for one am not the type of person to throw a fit when a coworker gets a new computer to work on, while I’m still wrestling with a 5-year old PC that can barely do its job. Nor am I one that lingers on the outcome of every merit evaluation. People like that will never be happy – call it the “grass is always greener†syndrome.
I come to work everyday. I do my job everyday. I find something here to keep me here, and keep me happy, everyday. If I’m not happy for the majority of the 45-50 hours every week that I’m working, I’m in the wrong place. Think about it.
From what I’ve seen on these posts, I am certain that this anger and dissatisfaction is not kept here. Instead, it spills into the workplace on a daily basis. There will be much more to go around once everyone stops b**ching about what other people are being paid and starts making the customer experience something we would all be proud of.
And another thing, PHL should look to PHL to fix PHL. Ever hear of soldiering? It’s a concept where workers will only work to the level of performance of their peers. Slackers will encourage more slackers. Hard-driving go-getters will inspire more of the same. There is no magic pill that anyone can bring to PHL to make it work better if those working in PHL aren’t willing to take the responsibility on their shoulders and say “hey, how can I make this better?â€.
This is my first post on these boards, and I know it sounds harsh, but please understand that I am very sympathetic to all labor groups. I just strongly believe that unless you are willing to come with a solution, you have no right to complain about a situation.
