[QUOTE="soberups, post: 751484, member: 14668"] I gotta play the Devils Advocate here.... If he hits the dog...they will charge him with an accident. If he stops in the middle of the road and gets rear-ended by another vehicle....they will charge him with an accident. If he pulls to the side of the road and gets out of the car to chase the dog and another vehicle hits the package car...they will charge him with an accident. If he goes to chase the dog and it runs out into the road and gets hit by another vehicle...they will charge him with an accident. If he gets out to chase the dog away and it bites him...they will try to give him a warning letter for "not following proper methods to avoid a dog bite". And, if all else fails and he is able to pull off the road safely every time he sees a dog and waits until the dog is gone...he will get a warning letter for "failure to maintain demonstrated SPORH". The management person... who is safely ensconsed behind the safety and comfort of his desk... has 20/20 hindsight. He will [I]always[/I] be able to second guess any action that a driver does or does not take. He will [I]always[/I] be able to fabricate a reason why that action violates some policy or procedure. Unlike the driver, this management person is not obligated to do his job in the [I]real world[/I] or to allow logic or common sense to guide his decision making. As long as he meets his weekly quota of reports and warning letters, he can continue feeding off of the revenue that is generated by those of us in the real world who are actually [I]doing the work[/I].
