After all this forum IS called "News and Whispers",
G8torlift likes to talk alot of ***!!Mind your own!It's amazing what a IP address will tell you!!
Briggs and Lift1 like most dealers will always need good technicians. They generate revenue for the company. What they won't need is non-operational overhead based in Charlotte, Ga. and Florida. Marketing reports, PP,and excel can be done by admin people and eliminate the VP titles.
I'm gonna hafta wait for the dust to settle before I really get a grip on how it is gonna work out. I know there are a lot of things to work through and I know you can't do it all in a day. Then, you have the issues that come up for those of us who are far away from the shop that will have to be worked through. Still, it has got to be better when the dust clears.
I figured as much. The few where just too affraid to ask.
Yes they did get paid for it, at least the few that I have spoken to said they did.
yep
its a done deal
now the fun begins :o)
michael i think gator is still goin on about briggs
i know we dont do things that way here at liftone
but as you said, you cant believe everything you hear ;o)
LiftOne officially kicked off their part today. Can't say I'm sad to see Barloworld move out of the picture.
G8torliftr, beware of what others tell you is happening, it may not always be truthful.
Can't help but believe better days are ahead, at least in our neck of the woods.
I was told those that were kept had to report in @ 730am on Saturday for oreintation and they didnt even now if they were getting paid for it.
Bye bye BW, heard that Briggs officially started today, at least in Florida that is. Hopefully it wont take them long to identify the dead weight that should have been gone a long time ago and start some changes for the better.
The only thing actually lost to those in the Lift One area that I have heard about is sick hours. Those who had hours built up will lose them. Seniority flips over and remains. All in all, was a good deal, as much more could have been lost.
I was told "Pink Slips" go out this week from Briggs decision. I was told by BW employee that most cuts in florida have already been made and not by Briggs. Any truth to this?
well edwardt
from what i understand they get to keep thier senority status, vacation time etc.
so in effect if they had 14yrs with barlow then they will be as if they had 14yrs with liftone when its all said and done.
NACCO cannot lose enough share with this transition. Their competition should be all over BW/Hyster accounts.
still wondering, what did the 'final shakeout' look like, as far as seniority, vacation time (both this years and future).
