My disciplinary action review
Posted: Mon Sep 08, 2008 8:37 pm
First and formost.........I get to keep my job
I also get to keep my lead driver status and my 8 hour day.
I did however loose my route and my bus, which I've had
forever. They have another route for me to do at a different
school and I can't bid into the school in question for 2 years.
That part basically is because they want me and my bus to
be unseen at that school and let the parents forget and all
blow over. That part is sort of for my protection but also
because they said they had to do something for discipline
and they knew it would hurt for me to loose my kids I've
had so long. So, today I said goodbye to them and told
them the other school needed my expertese and that
they would get a new driver. They hugged me as they
got off and of course it brought the tears up, but hey,
I get to keep my job.
Come to find out, the head boss wanted to let me go but
my supervisor fought for me and pulled out my personnel
file from day one in 2001 and showed NOT ONE
parent complaint, and NOT ONE
general public traffic complaint, I was there EVERYDAY,
and NO other accidents and she also told him how expert
I was at handleing the bus and that I always knew where
the bus was. My supervisor said he just didn't know what
to do and that he didn't have all the facts. He did not know
there were two buses blocking the crosswalk and the little
girl couldn't see me and I couldn't see her. She convinced
him to keep me. Then I signed the paperwork and she let
me have a good cry and then get my composure before I
left her office. As far as that 1% driver that was the witness,
she was talking a bunch of crap and the boss took her on the
carpet and told her physically to SHUT UP! (secretly, my
supervisor told me that driver has so many traffic complaints
and parent complaints in her file that she is eventually going
to cook her own goose) but then I knew that cause I've seen
her deliberately run red lights but I'm not allowed to tell on
her because its a known fact her and I don't get along.
Gods been with me these past few days and helped me get
through it, and you girls too here for me when I needed you.
I found out I was well liked at work and well respected. I
didn't know, I thought I was just another driver.
Tomorrow starts a new chapter and a new route.
