Not that it matters much though. The company continues to “put bodies in seats” and move the freight. All because new hires are ignorant to the facts, or they’re just apathetic to being paid the least to do this job.
And if the company plans to hire 10 I’d be willing to bet that they only hope that 6 show up. They’re slow but they’re not stupid.
