Outstanding Attendance Award
Donald Bruce | The Tough Ones
"Through Snow and Ice, He Comes"
I am pleased to recognize Donald, who drives the S30 sweeper but has also been helping out another teammate who has been having some medical issues. Donald has been on our team for four years and we can count on him to always lend a hand and help out when needed. Out of three shifts, he was also the only one who was able to make it in during the snow/ice storm a few weeks ago, as well. Donald is a blessing to have on our team. We put together a thank you card and a cash gift for all he has done so he realizes his actions are not going unnoticed. We can always count on him. ~ Robin Binkley

In 2022, we lost a very Precious Teammate, Robin Upton, who lost her battle to cancer. I know in my heart that she is in a great place with Our Lord. Robin started work January 31, 1911, and this lady wound up being one of the best teammates -- and friend -- to everyone. I could always rely on her being here, watching out for others and giving a helping hand every chance she had. She loved her job and always looked forward to coming to work. She would get here early every day just were she could sit and talk to me. I loved her and miss her dearly as she passed away on 9/25/22 after 11 years of service, and I know she would still would be here if she could. I am sharing a photo of her and her beloved horse, Cowboy. ~ Sue Wood

The Danger Dodgers had
3-months accident's free safety meeting / dinner on 12/29/22. The food for this dinner
was BBQ pulled pork, mashed-potatoes, green beans, buns, corn bread, and drinks
were provided which were coke products. Our meeting went over
our 540, M4M, Risky, etc. In this meeting we went
over our high points of the year which was having No complaints on
any visits in the last 5 months that I have been with the company.
We went over our job schedules for both plants and extra duties that we need to ensure get done on a daily basis moving forward to the new year, we went over changes that're happening at both plants as they are adding two new offices at each one for us to clean.
We went over attendance and how important it is that everyone show up and on time as it was a problem this year and lunch breaks going over which make a difference in their pay everyday ex: if you clock in 7 mins late from lunch everyday that's 35 mins of your check missing each week which adds up to a big deal at the end of the year which is how I explained it to them.
We went over our open-door policy, as well as numbers and support numbers that any member can reach out to for any reason if they may need too or want too.
We went over the chemical and products we use to work smarter not harder to better time manage their day and how to be safe using them without any danger or injury to their self or others.
We went over how important it is for each shift to start each day with the best time manage in mind so that each shift at both plants can finish from start to finish the task at hand and to leave nothing behind for the other shift to pick up and do for them as ex: if day shift leave the back of the building undone then second shift has to start there to pick that up and will be late starting there shift task and won't be able to finish their task which if we keep doing that we never be able to catch back up but if we do time manage and use our 540, M4M, and our schedules we can run smoothly at both plants both shifts from start to finish
We also did VIP papers for attendance to two of our people for this year, {Meggan and Amy} as well as employee of the month {Allen} We did the most improved employee VIP was {Joanna} We had two employees that have been with use or the company for 7 years each one of them got a VIP paper for that achievement { Meggan and Amy } I also did kind of funny one for one employee that is all ways late for work VIP paper {Rita} that she really enjoyed as well as the rest of the crew good laugh for that one. We ended this meeting with our best regards to Shacon Teeples who couldn't make this event because she had to work at another location but we wished her the best and missed her dearly.
We all wished 2022 good-bye and are looking forward to 2023 with the best team I could ask for! ~ Patricia Sturgeon
