about to finish my first week

[By The Book]

Broke the skin on first bite. I've had a couple tetnis shot in the last 5 years. Chihuahua got me on my pant leg today too... Then I threw a couple packages out of the window today because a mut was loose and growling at me while I drove up the driveway. He was ready for a fight too.

Let's just say your no dog whisperer. I would bet you have the record, and if you don't there's always tomorrow,lol.

Sorry about the font scooby. Don't want to upset you.

Yes, I plan on working full time. I have a landscape business so it's good money on top.

And I got bit by a dog...twice.

No problem mattylawn, your font size doesnt bother me, just givn' ya sh*. You won't be keeping both jobs if you stay on after peak so do whatever you have to do to get by.

OMG!

What has the company come to hiring these guys?

How much do you think I'll get?

The average dog bite case is awarded about $5,000 depending on how much "pain and suffering" is involved. Don't forget to throw in loss of your companions sexual favors because of the trama.

Who checks to make sure you aren't lying about the sexual claim ?

The same dog or two separate dogs?

You gonna sue?

I would.

How much do you think I'll get?

Minimum of $3K, more if you had to seek medical treatment.

 

[Deadset]

The same dog or two separate dogs?

Same dog. Black lab. Got me on my leg and scraped my arm

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Did you seek medical treatment?

 

[Deadset]

Did you seek medical treatment?

No

I have a guy to take care of my lawns. I have 30 accounts

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

You most likely would not have a case.

 

[Deadset]

You most likely would not have a case.

Which part are you talking about? The packages or the dog? Because the start of this thread was about not having ANY missed packages. And I was not stepping off that truck. Yes, I could have called my manager.

DR mailbox, move on...

With the exception of the dogs I'd say you've had a pretty good first week. The key to this job is to learn from your mistakes so they're not repeated. If you want to make this a career you'll need to show improvement everyday and try to keep a positive attitude. Don't make excuses if the boss gets on your case, just tell him you'll try and do better each day. Good Luck.

 

[Brownslave688]

No no no no no no. You do that and the situation becomes your fault. You become the bad guy and your job is at risk. Could even end up on the evening news. Everybody has a camera these days.

If there's an issue with a dog, sheet it NI1/2/3 with dog in remarks, put it in back and keep moving.

I do the same thing. Bag the packages and drop them out the side door.

 

[Matty_lawn]

@matty_lawn, did you open a second account?

Haha not me man

 

[allergictotape]

missed packages? how does that happen? that's no good.

 

[Analbumcover]

I was thinking of using my water balloon slingshot to catapult smalls over the fence or on the porch instead of getting out.

 

[rod]

No

Did you check to see if the dog had had its rabbis shots? (VERY IMPORTANT) Don't take the
owners word for it.
Did you call law enforcement so they could have the dog put on report and if serious
enough impounded for a few days?
Did you fill out an injury report?
