Corporate Policies ?

Lunatics running the asylum: We have a computer program dispatch out or jobs in the morning and through out the day. We used to have a warm body do that for us , sometimes even with a courtesy call. Now its "The System"...no idea where jobs are in relation to where you are. My first job Monday was in Wilmington (12 miles west of office), 2nd was in Long Beach (9 miles east of that, getting closer) , third was in Laguna Beach, 34 miles SW and a 62 minute drive! GTFO, I wasn't even to the job yet and my phone gave me an alert that I had only 20 minutes to complete the job! F that. It took me another 30 minutes to pump out and ventilate the manhole! Management doesn't want to hear it as "they have no control over dispatch". There really should be some "jump" meetings where its the guys in the trenches talking directly to the regional directors, no management present so we can tell them WTF is going on out here.
