your opinion on this scenario
#1
o.k. back before i changed jobs about 5 weeks ago,
one of my coworker at the parts store is a driver,but he answered the ad about 1 1/2 yrs ago for a parts whole sale counter man,turned out he could not cut it on the parts counter,so my boss had him become a driver instead delivering parts in a company car,since they liked him,now the other drivers we got have to use there own cars,well a yr and half goes by the kid is driving no problems,hes granted a weeks paid vacation no ther drivers get this,and sets it up for july, now he knows he is flying on his vacation,so he gets caught driving without a seat belt so he calls his mom ,by the way she is a cop,to pull strigs on getting the license back so he got this ticket while working in the company car, so we are some what busy counter he comes in we have orders waiting to go.
my boss starts to give him deliveries he starts to yell and get all exited that his license and the ticket and that his mom wants him right now to go to the station to get it,he did not even explain what really happened,so he just dropped the car keys and radio gear and ran out,in the mean time the boss is getting a little pissed since he just ran out,2 hours later he shows up i said to him that what he did was wrong,he is exact reply was "i do not care what you think" "i am on my way to vegas in 3 weeks and i need my license" i said you should of at least explained what happened,becuase otherwise he complains that he does not get enough hours,his reply "so",well he got sent home after that
well the following week after that last stunt,he gets into a accident in the company car,again he comes in barging blurring out crap that did not make sense that he could not deliver parts since "someone hit him and ran"
well i am a estimater on parts and paint work at the shop,me and the boss both took one look and knew he hit someone instead of the story he said,the boss told him that he would have to pay for the major damages mainly the headlight that was it,he did not say anything i met up with him fishing and told me what realy happened him rear ended some one and was not paying attention at a stop sign,his mother said that had to make a police report,of the false accident,and he claimed that boss said no,which was a lie since i was there and he said that he would make one but never went,now him and his mother are talknig about he is not responsible for accident since it was a company car "by law" crap she planted in his head,mean while he was not charged for the parts since we could not find a single parts dealer or junk yard that had a subaru headlight assembly,until this week that i got a call from him saying that they took his vacation pay which was 32 hours at $6.00 for the fees of the headlight which was $220.
now at this point he told the boss that he was not paying for it,they chatted a bit and he told the boss that he had insurence on the cars so why not let the ins, take care of it? the boss said sure if your paying the $500 deductable,the boss then said that he would have to drive his own car from now on ,he said no,and then told the boss "that he was firing him?" the boss said no that he would have to use his own car only now,and since he lied about the accident and then he said "so what it is still not my car" but the boss told him he should of not of lied about the story, so he gets mad,and walks out ,now he wants me to help him with unemployment i said hell no,you see with everything that goes on at the store these people all in all where actually pretty fair with him,they did not charge him the corning lamps,or the bumper cover that ripped,or even the fender that is all beat in,but since his vacation got closer his job performance dropped ,only thing he cared about was vegas,vegas is over and its time to come back to the real word,he lives with mom and his girlfriend with child,his last job he milked unemployment from home depot now he at it again,first he says not enough hours so they give him more then he complains that he has to go since his girl has to go to work,so they cut him back so he can go early to baby sit,
what do you guys think of this mess?

Sounds like a pretty twisted dillema there. I don't know the guy, but it seems like he wants to have everything handed to him, and not take responsibility for what needs to be done....

I especially get a kick out of this...
Quote:now him and his mother are talknig about he is not responsible for accident since it was a company car

So, since I drive a company vehicle at work, and if I decide to run someone over, it is the company's fault for letting me drive their truck?????

WTF is this world coming to? That's almost as bad as the government wanting to hold gun manufacturers liable for what a person does with their gun.... When will everyone wake up and start taking responsibility for their own actions?

G/D, that is a lot of typing to read, but I did, just to see how the story would end.

Is this guy like 17 years old, or is he a seriously retarded/spoiled brat?

There is so much junk in this story... is the girlfriends child his?
How does a $6/hr guy afford a trip to Vegas, unless he doesn't plan on getting a room or eating.

All in all, if I were in your position, I would just distance myself from the guy and his problems. Why burden your mind with the injustices your company allows this guy? It only makes you feel bad. It like getting angry when someone cuts you off in traffic. You get mad and they just go about their merry way. They are wrong and we get high blood pressure.

I'm not telling you what to do, but what I would do, is let it go and ignore the guy until he finally flames out of the place.

he is 27 yrs old,the kid is his 1 1/2 yrs old,
lives in mom basement,not that it bothers me but he kept trying to justify his attitude and actions by all this,i pretty much let him be, it just erks me when someone like this is constantly trying to cheat the system,wants just to drink beer and ride his skate board,that would be the life but hey the real world you have to work for what you want
i do it,you do it and i am sure everyone else here has or had to work for what they got

i figured i would share a moment in time with you guys and see what you guys think of this

I would love to smack the shit out of that guy, how dare he try to collect unemployment because of his child like attitude about responsibility.

I got laid off last year for 3 weeks with alot of bills to pay and i didnt collect unemployment. I have too much PRIDE!!!

Send him this message, Tell him where he could be!
I am a 25 year old journeyman plumber, UNION i might add, It took me 5 years to get where i am. My paycheck last week after working 48 hours was $1820.00 Gross, Keep in mind I am only 25 and I never depended on anyone but myself to get there. I had to go to school 2 nights a week for 5 years and could only miss two days a year, mean while working my 40 hour weeks, that makes for some dicipline, I worked with some guys that would treat me so unfair it would make sombody like him cry for the rest of his life. I was told one day to dig a hole by the water shut off at the street, it was about 5' in diameter and 8' deep, when i got done the two journeman i was working for came up and said now that you have seen a b-box you can fill the hole back in. He cant even hold a job driving a damn car?

What a pussy!

He needs to get a job like mine to teach him some dicipline and respect!

Hey! when I got laid off I used unemployment, without it I would have been screwed. I have much pride also but I had to take care of my family. I just wanted to reply because that comment got me a little..........................

You pay taxes on each of your checks which goes towards stuff like unemployment benefits! If you were laid off for 3 weeks and didn't collect money, your loss.......

to each his own I guess..................NOW BACK TO RACIN"

Not saying that collecting is bad, I'm sure I would have if I really needed it, but alot of people abuse the system ya know. alot of people work just long enough so they can get laid off and collect and then start the cycle all over again.

No hard feelings I hope, I know very little about your situation but you dont seem at all like you fit in that group.

I just hate people that depend on the system to support lazyness
