[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1001275, member: 14668"] Here is a current event; I recently represented a driver on a rural route who clipped a mirror on a branch. He called it in, and our "center team" immediately dispatched an on car sup on an 80 mile, 4 hour roundtrip up to the hills of the Oregon Coast range so that he could take about 35 pictures of a tree. The driver was also forced to break trace and double back to the scene of the crime so that his package car could appear....by flashlight of course...in those pictures. The next morning, the driver and I spent about half an hour in the office going over the details of the crime, reviewing the photos, regurgitating the requisite acronyms and commentaries, and otherwise wasting about an hour total of OT discussing the "accident" in all its gory detail. A warning letter was of course issued...requiring further representation...and on top of that our driver also got to spend 30 minutes per morning for the next week being "mentored" by a "safety committee" member in the fine art of reciting additional commentaries and acronyms. All told, by my calculations we pissed away something like $700 or $800 worth of OT, mileage, management wages etc. over a cracked mirror that cost the shop about TEN BUCKS to fix. Looks to me like there is a helluva lot [I]more[/I] management jobs that need to be trimmed. [/QUOTE]
