I did it!I hit the trailer!

I believe he is also the same guy who was bragging about passing all the slow trucks, and how he brake checks the ones who get in his way. Karma is hard at work here.

 

q: What would you do if you were me?
a: Kill myself.

 

a. Don't screw up again! We all know folks who claim, "I ain't NEVER done NOTHIN' wrong!" Just be like them.

 

TBH, you really shouldn't be such a douche about having to pay for what you damaged. You damaged it, after all.

 

Hey dd, this is a perfectly serious, (I know that is unusual,) opinion from me. Under ordinary circumstance I don't believe any employee should be held financially responsible for damage they cause by a mistake, in the normal course of their job. Crap happens, we all know it. It happens to all of us.
But I am kind of two minds about charging employees for damages they did. If it is a good employee who makes a mistake now and then, definitely not. OTOH, if it is Joe IDON'TGIVEADAMN that is constantly making mistakes there needs to be corrective action taken. And here is where I am of two minds.
Do you start charging the guy for what he damages, or do you tie the tin can to his tail and send him down the road.
I can see charging someone for damage as a "wake the hell up" call. But if that doesn't work, and you've got somebody who is always damaging something, I'd say just get rid of him.
Careless employees are a danger to everyone, including the boss's finances.

 

Lol...really? What does the agreed wage have to do with damaging a trailer at a dock?
