Hello, I would like your opinion as to the severity of this situation. I am a local truck driver. I was at a stop light in downtown, and stopped well before the stop line. The reason I stopped well before the stop line is because it was in the shade. If I would have pulled up to the stop line, I would have been sitting in the sun. It was 105 degrees outside. A couple of weeks earlier my FB friends and I were discussing in general the bewildering practice of some people who don't pull up to the stop line. And so my post said, this is the only reasonably excuse for not pulling all the way up to the stop line: shade. (the shade, of course, was created by the downtown buildings). I am FB friends with only one person at work. I thought she was a friend, but it turns out she isn't. She stabbed me in the back, and reported my post. Now keep in mind, that I was stopped at a stop light. And I merely took a pic with my phone of my windshield. And she reported it to management, and said, Tom took a pic with his phone while in one of our trucks. And so I was brought into a meeting, and was reprimanded for using my phone while in the truck. It's not like I was in motion and taking video. It's not like I was Googling. I wasn't talking on the phone. I wasn't texting. I merely took a pic while stopped at a stop light. No reasonably person would think I was being unsafe. I am interested in your thoughts. Please don't respond by playing devil's advocate. I'm interested in what you think.... if you know what I mean. Disclaimer, the woman who reported this post is a part of the management team. But nonetheless, I considered her a friend. No one else I work with is on my friend's list except her. And my FB timeline is set to private. I am not reckless with my posts. One... I trusted her. And, two, I did not think it was a big deal. What do you think?
