You may not care but some folks actually take pride on even the smallest achievements. I get it some folks live this life to judge harshly so it’s expected in this forum.
No It is a great achievement. By choking, I meant that the safety awards are not nearly what they should be for the achievement. If you were seasoned you would know why I choked. Now you do. Kudos to your bud. I had 23, when I quit.

I am retired now, but I did the same thing when putting together a set and not realizing the angle of my back box as this was at night with little lighting in the area. I reported it right away, manager comes out to see the damage and goes crazy screaming at me. My punishment for the actions of not following procedure was a 8 hour day for the next 5 days in the office. I had to know by heart all the safety rules that are required in feeder and get a 100% on each test that was given at the end of the week. I was also charged with an accident.
Better than me, I think I had 17.

No. I don’t work there but I applied last week so hopefully that changes.
I had a total of 32.4 yrs, it was time.

"Going on two years" and getting a "safety award". Ok.

Exactly. It’s just amazing that drivers get nervous and don’t report accidents. Short of killing someone because you were drunk on the job, zero chance of you getting fired and it sticking if you just report it. I clipped a baby deer on a road job a few years ago. Zero damage. Pulled over right away and called it in. Anything happens, report it immediately.

So basically he’s getting fired. I got it. I told him to start looking for a new job because you’ll probably get canned at your panel hearing. It deadlocked at the local. Thanks everyone.

I don’t know. Maybe YOU get fired, maybe YOU don’t. Best of luck.
He was already fired. A tiebreaking mediator typically isn't gonna vote to bring back a guy with only 2 years in at panel.

Toonertoo,
Very diplomatic.
For those who know what happened...you are showing real class.
Glad you are OK about it. I don't know if I could have been as gracious as you.

Idk. He still has a chance. I've seen people come back from unreported accidents before.

That went to mediation?
Highly unlikely

Maybe he should have showed them his safety award. Hope this helps.
