--=hmmmm this is one of them days you say to self, "I would have been better of staying home in bed"

oops si daisy ? ya think that would be good reply..

Some employees can be the very best at what they do, yet not understand responsibility.
One foreman I had was coming up on 10 years with me, even had a company van. He had a bad habbit of leaving the keys in the ignition & locking the doors when he went in store or bar. I found out & told him no more. He continued, one Sunday morning I received a call from a cop, my van was found out in a feild, door open key in ignition in the on position. They let it run out of gas while sitting there after they cleaned it out.
Moving from one job to the next, it had over $18,000 worth of tools in it.
The back window was boke out, walked thru & drove off cause key was left in the ignition.
Foreman didn;t even know bout it til I went to him & drug him out of his bed. Told him what had happened, (he had left the van at the bar because he was so drunk a friend had to drive him home), I was pissed, he said what about me, I had a skill saw & all my hand tools in the van, from there he went back to sleep fast.
I guess I was just as much to blame for not taking the keys I found out what he was doing, but figured after giving him chit bout it, he would not do it any more. Live & learn

So he's still working for you?

Burby

Nooooo he was fired when he called to say he was sorry & understood why I was so pissed.
When I said "I guess I was just as much to blame for not taking the keys when I found out what he was doing, but figured after giving him chit bout it, he would not do it any more".
Was when I first heard he did this, before the van was stole, there was no 2nd chance once stole.

I'm with the guy that got fired, you have to be able to get to your ice house, plus he showed them a vulnerability of that particular front loader, it's not good on ice, pull it out let it dry off and put it on craig's list, no harm done.

According to the article he wasn't fired but sent home and was going to be "disciplined." I think I would have had to let him go; more than likely if he did something that stupid he made a lot of other costly mistakes as well over those 27 years.

tgeb

He should get fired and have to pay to get the loader fixed as well as the 9 grand to get the loader out of the lake.

But since the taxpayers own the loader and the taxpayers footed the bill for the recovery and the taxpayers pay this asshat's salary, nothing will come of it. He'll get a pay raise next quarter while the rest of us in the real world do with out things to make ends meet due to the slow economy.


I've seen similar boondoggles before.

What tgeb said....X2 I worked for county government for awhile. Biggest bunch of time and money wasting folks I have ever known. If I ran my business like that I wouldnt have a chance.....

silvertree

Hey ya know its Minnesota, cut the guy some slack.
The ice houses are out and I saw a full size pickup out there on White Bear Lake on Sunday. We have Ice House cities on the big lakes, the ice house hookers come round knock on the door and party with you, cash first.
And you guys think Minnesota is for the hicks, I'll bet you don't have Ice House Hookers

Well folks, I happen to work for the local county road and bridge dept while I build my REAL business. This does not surprise me in the least. Some of the things that go on around here just boggles the mind. It is real hard to get fired as well. I agree, if I ran my business like the gov does, I'd be broke. Went to the main shop today, and discovered that one of the equipment shops burned down this weekend. Lost 624 jd loader, brand new leeboy paver, new roller, and bobcat. Wish I would have had my camera. Need a cam on my phone. Loader was toast.
