Care of Trees / Davey?

[ QUOTE ]

What the hell do you care your retiring at the end of the year anyway.. The field employees busted there backsides to get the company to where it is now, we are a company who has over 18% overhead, (I know Im wrong about this too) look at the numbers. With that much over head us hard working stiffs have to pick up the slack. It was mandantory for us to not take time off around the Holidays so we can bring the year in strong (acording to Scott) just to find out now that we did all that to have the carpet pulled from under our feet. Great.. So I gave up time with my Family to go to work and help the company I believed it to get screewed. GREAT

Yes, I'm retiring (early next year), but to imply that I don't care tells me that you need to take a long ride on the clue bus - with no stops along the way.

If I didn't care, would I be responding to your verbal diarhea?

By the time I retire, I will have been with TCOT over thirty years. In my mind, that's enough time to spend with a company (no offense to the gentleman who's been with Davey for 32 years - more power to you). In addition, watching my mother die a slow death last year made me consider doing other things with my life while I still have time. But does a person work for a company for 30 years and not care?

If I didn't care, I would have left TCOT several months ago when I announced my retirement with no concern as to what I left behind.

Do you know what it's like to work with a group of people, whom I consider family, and 90% of them are convinced they're out of a job in the near future? Let me tell you, it's not easy. Believe me, if I didn't care I wouldn't be here.

Why do you refer to yourself and your fellow field staff as "working stiffs"? The field people I've met and worked with along the way were nothing less than professional and dedicated. If you consider yourself a working stiff, that's on you, but I think you're shortchanging your colleagues by saying that.

Sorry, got to go to work now and not care.

Dan, I dont want you to think I taking shots at you as a person because Im not, Im just trying to prove a point that everyone I have ever worked with at TCOT is passionate about there job and what they do everyday because we treated this company like owners, to have it pulled out from underneath us is a shame. You are correct about the 90% plus that are almost sure to be out of a job, so all the ones we have worked so close with for years like "Family" are going to be out of work is painful to
see.

Dan, I wish you all the best and hope you enjoy your retirement, I dont think I've ever met anyone as dedicated to there job and what they do then you. Dont take what I said pesonal.

ALL THE BEST and I hope things work out for the best for all of our support (family) in the home office....

Enough with the "who gets or has what" and who doesn't. If John wants to get out of this company he deserves to walk away with something more than the recognition of his accomplishments in the industry.
We are a family at TCOT an we depend on each other on a daily basis, sometimes even away from work. Our job right now is not to be preoccupied with what may happen in the next few days, weeks or months but to stay focusted on what we need to accomplish today. We all want to go home every evening.

Dear igotscrewed,

When you conjure up the nerve to take your balls out of your mother's purse and tell us who you are then maybe I'll answer your question.

Paige, Ouch that hurt. How did you know thats where I keep my balls?

Everyone needs a forum to vent. Im done venting.

I too will wait it out and see what the merger has to offer. Davey has come around and made there pitch so lets see what happenends. I just hope that the same "family" type feeling that TCOT has brought to us continues to be just that. YOu have to enjoy your job and what you do if you lose that then its time to move on. Ive been with TCOT for this many years because I love my job and the people I work with every day. God bless John and thanks again for the chance to work for TCOT and the positions Ive carried with the company.

Paige, can we have dinner sometime? I'll keep the purse at home.

Dear igotscrewed,

I'll tell you what; I'll ask my husband what he thinks of your invitation and I'll have HIM get back to you. How's that sound? Where do you live so he can find you?

P.S. Your mother wants her purse back......
 
Can we stop all the mutual back-slapping tCoT is the tree care equivalent of the fricken Waltons! its not, its just another tree company with some reasonably good ideas that succeeded in convincing the more gullible members of it's staff that they owned the company. Most of the others knew fine well that 'they' the employees did not own the company and were fine with that.

I liked my time at tCoT especially the 'crew snacks' on a friday afternoon, although you could tell when we had a good week cause the manager bought us pepperoni pizzas from Papa Johns instead of the obligatory jumbo sized pak of Doritos with that revolting orange dip.

During my time at tCoT I worked with all kinds of workers, some didn't care for trees at all, just wanted to jump on the gravy train while others such as myself did all the work.

Overall though, I like tCoT, and i'm glad of the time I spent there, so thanks John Hendrikson, Todd Nederostek and James Powell.

ps RMcGaw, if James Powell is still working out of the Alex, Va office, tell him an old friend was asking for him.
 
EXTRA EXTRA Read all about it....

JAMISON HAS LAEFT THE BUILDING...

This just in, Scott Jamison has left his possition at The Care of Trees effective today. The details are unclear at this time but will soon follow.

GROVER, James Powell is no longer with the company, he has been gone for a while now.

Paige husbands have never got in my way before..
 
Leadership is more often defined by action not words. Scott always spoke well, no doubt about that. Todays leadership lesson: leave just when the TCOT "family" needs support and leadership the most. This single act will define his legacy at TCOT.

If you know that you more then likely wont have a job by the end of the month would you stay around or jump ship? I didnt always agree with everything Scott did but this is probually on thing I do agree with him on.

I bet he's so happy you agree with him....lol! ha ha.
 
Scott reveals his true species, (not human) jelly fish (spineless wonder). Now is the time for all of you hard working tree people to band together and recognize the opportunity he has given you by leaving the building. You will have to work less hard to meet your numbers. Less over head and now perhaps the freeze will thaw. Now it is more important than ever for you to remain focused on the task at hand. Stay safe while in the trees so that you can return home at the end of the day to your families. Good luck to you all!
 
Frankly, the smear campaigns really need to stop.

OMG, you remind me of a bad rash that just keeps coming back.

And, we tree climbers are not stupid as you continue to imply with your posts. You are not going to gain our respect by pretending to care whether we go home to our families every night.

I never had a bad rash at TCOT, just a few blisters... Scott Jamison, on the other hand, is (was) the one with a bad rash, most likely from sitting on his dumb a$$ for long periods of time dreaming up new ways to justify an inflated salary while milking the Co. dry.

I did, poison ivy, and it was pure hell. Was my first ever contact with the stuff, I wasn't prepared for the chronic creeping itch/pain. Had to take steroids to get rid of it.

As for Scott Jamison, I only met him once, for a few minutes, seemed like a really decent guy, people complaining about their bosses is not a new thing. Most of the time its not justified. What exactly do you expect anyway? All the managers to be feeding the chipper and raking?
 
Learn something about business will you. A precussor to a takeover often involves the departure of the executive. If you don't have the balls to take the helm then watch and wait, quit complaining or leave.
