I once worked the Christmas depot with Greyhound and we had a lot of temp workers working for us.

The biggest problem with the temp workers...was that most of them were immigrants.

Which in and of itself isn't really the problem, they were good workers, but the overall issue is that the key part of the job was sorting freight.

And they had no understanding of Canadian Geography. They didn't know where places were so...they were under-qualified at the most important aspect of their job.

If you have to ask me for every box...I may as well do it myself.

That being said, the most disgusting comment I ever heard was from the head of the temp agency on our first day with them.

He said, and I quote: "If you run over one of them with a forklift? Get them into the dumpster and I'll have a new one here in 15 minutes."

I. Was. Floored.

I was disgusted at such a callous statement.

But...it was just...'So typical Greyhound.'

"Yeah, its the busiest time of year with stuff going everywhere, lets hire a bunch of people who essentially can't help."

Brilliant stuff.
