The Ohio Department of Transportation is spending an average of $4 million per year on trash pickup, according to the agency.
ODOT Public Information Officer Matt Bruning said in the last 10 years, ODOT crews have collected more than 3.8 million bags of trash, totaling $40 million dollars.
ODOT explains how $4 million in trash pickup could be better spent
ODOT says it would like to pave 28 miles of road, or buy 27 new plow trucks. They can't because crews are picking up trash.70 percent of people who resign say the main reason is a lack of appreciation.
They do not even refer to rewards and promotions for good work.
They feel unappreciated - because their superiors take their good work for granted, their loyalty as a given, and their talents totally replaceable.
A great company takes care of its people, and its people take care of the company.
I got a call from one of my employees. He asked if can he work from home because he has a high fever.
