How to get fired (or not)?

Been there done that.

Scale fails. Falls a foot down to the steel beam final skeleton frame in the basement. BOOOOM.

Silence in heaven for 30 minutes as the Law assesses the problem from their tower in heaven.

PULL ROUND BAAAAACK. NAOW.

The writing and ticketing started long before I crept into the place.

And there were two more scale housings to go potentially depending on which route.

 

Around here, you throw a fake blacksnake in the bosses truck, and you're gone. Instantly. Seen that happen once, but the perpetrator had some other things going for him.

One fellow, while he wasn't fired, he was on the radar. He ran a sleeper truck, and the truck was normally parked an hour away from the shop. Once a guy would work two weeks, he'd get out and someone else would jump in it for two weeks, hauling frac sand. The boss would usually transport the driver to the truck, and home when his two weeks were up.

The boss would also jump in a truck from time to time, and one day, he takes a truck out of the parking lot, goes up the road to a stop sign, hits the brakes, and a piss bottle rolls out of the sleeper. Needless to say, he was a bit upset.

Well, word got out and a week later, boss was transporting drivers to the trucks. One guy jumps out of a truck, and into the bosses new Chevy Tahoe, and proceeds to place a Pepsi bottle with yellow Gatorade in it in the cup holder. Looks at the boss and says 'remind me to dump this when we get to the shop'. The bosses face turns beet red, the veins pop out on his neck and he starts screaming a stream of expletives I shall not repeat. As he's doing this, the perpetrator takes the bottle, opens it and takes a drink of the Gatorade. Everyone that knew what he was up to was rolling on the floor laughing. The boss was silent all the way home.

And he didn't even buy us dinner that day....

 

You can't have a gun in the truck, I thought they were mandatory. lol

 

Yeah... I'm not pissing in a bottle. You can't dial, talk or text on a cell phone while driving but you can piss in a bottle?

 

Females use buckets.

 

I think they stop or maybe teams or something. I know I am starting to see p bottles on the haul road, and as rough as it is, it would not be physically possible to pee in a bottle, and there is no teams. since we are talking a dirt road that a guy can park in the middle of at almost any time and take care of business, the only possibility for a reason is some folks like to p in a bottle.

 

Actually under Licensed Carry, the company can only fire you for detection of same.

Provided where, when, what, how and why are all taken care of and ok by the Lawman.

Arkansas has a partial employee law banning employers from searches of vehicles on their property. Castle doctrine.

 

I would think the licensed to carry a hand gun would vary from state to state and would only be a problem if your company prohibited it or you traveled to states that didn't recognize your states CHL.

I guess I need to research that.
