[QUOTE="AKCoverMan, post: 912979, member: 17867"] The accident itself is not enough to get you fired, unless you have had a bunch in the past nine months. It's the failure to report they might hound you on. If the damage to the fence was mininal and the damage to the PC non existant than your story that you did not know you had had an accident is believable. (I believe you, I'm just trying to speak from an objective standpoint.) I was once fired for a backing accident.. I nicked a tree and the property owner thought the tree had to come down so it was a Tier 1 accident. However, in the prior nine months a teenage girl chatting on her cell phone tried to pass me on the right side as I was backing into a driveway on the left and she hit me on the passenger side of the PC. It was ruled an avoidable backing accident so since this was my 2nd in nine months they "fired" me. Except they didn't. They gave me a letter that said (I swear to God!) that I was fired, and if I did it again I would be....wait for it....fired! I could not help laughing. The union grieved it and the company agreed to change it to a warning letter which I never received. I never lost a day of work. As the Brown Box Turns.... [/QUOTE]
