What Did You Do for Pepsy?

I was hired to be a part of a management training programme at pepsy. And my first job was to work with six teamster drivers who delivered soft drinks. They were bigger than me, tougher than me, older than me and certainly more experienced than me. But they adopted me because i was willing to humble myself  and try to help them do their job right. My dad did something as the mayor that was really unusual - he rode the sanitation routes every tuesday with those who picked up the trash in the neighborhoods. He said you'll never get to know your people better than if you ride for eight hours in the cab of a truck with him.
