They're watching me

Posted recently in a thread about the company I work for. After posting some shocking facts about the way I was made to run (equipment-wise), including a major exhaust leak where I was expected to put up with it until returning to the home terminal vs getting it fixed while the truck was down 3 days for my home time... I ended up deleting the post.

I got a stern, accusatory call from the safety manager about my post. He didn't tell me to remove the post, but I got the idea that other actions might happen if I didn't.

The irony is that there wasn't one thing in the post that wasn't factual - it also wasn't inflammatory, no names were mentioned (the shop guy), there were no embellishments or exaggerations.

I just found it interesting that someone in management was stalking the forum.

 

Understanding that, I didn't curse, call names, say the company was stupid or anything, just posted a factual account of a negative experience to counter the previous poster's words that sounded like the company was all daisies and butterflies.

 

Just ironic that all they needed to do was fix their truck and become DOT compliant, yet instead of actually do all of that without crying, nashing of teeth and guilt trips, I got a phone call. Still don't have a city horn in my current truck, and they're not going to spend the money to have a dealer tech tear into the steering column harness. Their folks also believe that it's ok to run up to 20k on the front axle of a truck rated for 12k - their response is "no one checks that, don't worry about it".
