Dispatchers have been described as the quarterbacks of their teams. They are the ones who keep schedules on track and make the day run smoothly for our drivers and helpers. To recognize our amazing dispatchers, we are happy to give a shout out to Michelle B. and Megan L. and get to know them a little better!

Q. What’s your go-to productivity practice?

Q. What energizes you at work?
A. Trust energizes me. My co-workers know if a job/task is given to me, it will get done.
Q. What’s the biggest misconception people have about your position?
A. That it’s repetitive, but day-to-day is unique. You never know what will happen – expect the unexpected!

Q. How long have you worked at Republic Services?
A. 3 years, 4 months
Q. What’s your go-to productivity practice?
A. My go-to productivity trick is to turn on some 90s and keep thing light.
Q. What energizes you at work?
A. The thing that energizes me the most at work is when I learn something new. Learning how our big picture comes together has been very beneficial in not only my development, but in the development of our entire team.
Q. What’s the biggest misconception people have about your position?
A. The biggest misconception people have is that most the day is spent idle. Once you explain how many moving parts we orchestrate on a daily basis, they start to understand just how dynamic we truly are.
Q. What energizes you outside of work?
A. My family definitely energizes me outside of work. We aren’t afraid of trying something new, even if it means once again trying to overcome my fear of heights.
