And how many times in R1 did you do that....I am going to guess none.

In this case I must be. Perhaps if you came out of your ivory tower long enough to see the people who work for 1/10 your pay and work much harder, on Christmas Day, you might just feel grateful to be where you are. I personally picked up protein bars at the store today just in case nothing near the hotel is open tomorrow.

That is what the grievance process is for. I am very comfortable being an ass in this case because that cafeteria workers Christmas at home trumps your getting a meal that you have to cook yourself. Oh! The horror of having to heat up my own meal so the cafeteria lady can spend the day with her loved ones. All while you make bank on the holiday. Pathetic

The C/P and D/O all the way up to management are all culpable. They could have all been mensches... A little bit of planning by the above could have avoided this thread.

While no consellation, there’s always Chinese or Indian delivered by Grub Hub or Uber.

He is not suggesting that the cafeteria lady come in and work Christmas, he is suggesting that the company provide a more nutritious and satisfactory holiday meal for its crews that are stuck working over the holiday. No dog in this fight but Lord you so are dense it’s comical.

The easy solution would just be to say ok we're gonna pay per diem today and you guys can order in dinner from wherever you want (or go get it if youve got a car there), theres no flights anyways. Instead multiple management personnel run around buying probably a dozen frozen meals that no one is going to eat and theres a complete **** show involving multiple emails (why blast all this out to every crewmember? just communicate with the people working R1 christmas day) and 2 dozen whiny crew members for absolutely no reason. If we are required to stay at a building and cant leave and there are no food facilities on site, just pay per diem and let us take care of ourselves like adults. Uber eats exists, and there are plenty of places serving food on christmas. I have never witnessed a place in my entire life that can turn every simple logistics problem into a gigantic cry fest failure.

Not dense at all. For 22 years I was that cop working many of those Christmas’. After my children were older, I volunteered to work for the younger guys and gals. All for a max pay of 63k.
You have no idea how it sickens me to read this complaining. Blame it on management? Ok maybe. Last time I looked this thread came out before Christmas. Are you seriously suggesting that with the available time that arrangements can’t be made by calling the company? Staff people are working at my airline.Not theirs? No, it is better to take no action and come on here and try to get people to feel sorry for you. Pathetic

Dude you dont know who you're dealing with here.

The plot was lost a long, long time ago in a cornfield in Wilmington, OH and there were no outside voices to speak up and say "hey, this is how normal people act" for years and years until 2 years ago when some new people showed up- and we're all just staring at the trainwreck with our mouths hanging open, unsure what to do. It's like stumbling into a tribe in the Amazon (pun intended) rainforest that hasn't had human contact for 50 years. Without a genuinely radical overhaul on both sides of the table, ABX is probably doomed

So now you want to declare war on your fellow crew members too. Nothing like calling your co-workers a bunch of idiots all the while touting how sophisticated you are. Get over yourself.

Remember ABX is in business to make money, not to provide you snowflakes a job. Sweet jesus spend 10 bucks and get a meal and quit whining.
