[QUOTE="soberups, post: 746474, member: 14668"] Most divisions or Districts have a person with the job title of "Safety Manager" who is usually in charge of determining which accidents are "avoidable" and how they should be handled. The more "avoidable" accidents there are, the more paperwork there is for this person to shuffle. He/she can keep busy by writing reports, taking pictures, and holding conference calls and meetings with lots of important people. If there [I]arent[/I] any avoidable accidents....then that supply of reports and pictures dries up, and this person doesnt get to have any meetings or make any conference calls. Pretty soon, all those important people will start to wonder why the hell they are paying this person $75K per year just to take up space in an office. RULE #1 for [I]any[/I] bureaucracy or corporate entity is to [I]perpetuate its own existence. [/I]If your job as a management person is to solve problems then you had better make [I]damn[/I] sure you have a never-ending supply of problems to solve, or you will manage yourself right out of a job. So the trick here is to solve[I] just enough [/I]problems to make yourself look successful...while at the same time [I]inventing [/I]enough problems to make yourself look indespensible. Charging drivers with "avoidable" accidents for hitting dogs on a public road is a perfect example of the "job justification through paperwork generation" mentality that is slowly destroying our company.
