[QUOTE="gixxer squid, post: 1478115, member: 53297"] Interesting subject: We had a similar thing happen to us over the summer. Customer made a complaint about a driver. It was a fishy story from get go. We made some changes and took the stop off the route but the customer still complained because he bypassed the stop. I deal with the drivers, not the upper management as I don't put up with :censored:. Significant other deals with front office politics. We have a handbook for all employees outlining grounds for termination once they are hired. Unfounded complaints continued, everything was hearsay and no evidence was provided for us to terminate. Fedex security requested a meeting with the driver. Ding Ding Ding. I was and still am pissed. Driver is on MY payroll, not fedex's. If they have a problem with my driver, they come to me, NOT my driver. I employ him and pay his salary. What right do they have to question my driver. Needless to say, my political significant other and manager sent him (driver) to the lions den without my knowledge, alone, by himself, neither of them went to meeting with fedex management. Needless to say, they straight lied to him (driver) saying they had evidence for a supposed infraction. which they DID NOT. In any event, the infraction in question if it indeed happened, maybe would have resulted in a 3 day suspension without pay(outlined in our employee handbook) although a slap on the hand was really what was warranted if indeed what they said happened truly happened. My take is this. He is MY :censored: employee, I deal with him according to my handbook. I would have told :censored:ex that if they had a problem, they deal with me, I am the drivers go between, their lifeline so to speak. Driver walked out after meeting and quit. Not necessarily because he was guilty of a minor infraction but because he was bullied into it. I was extremely concerned that we, our corporation, was going to get served with a wrongful termination suit. Honestly, had the ex employee had any common sense what so ever, he would have filed suit and honestly won against us. This is the beauty of friend ex. They wash their hands and make it our problem [/QUOTE]
