I can't believe the office I used to work for....
When I started as an RCA, in January 2017, there was another RCA that had been there a few months (much less than a year), who had been fired for getting into an accident, where she backed into someone's brand new car while servicing her route from an LLV. The weather had been bad at the time, with slippery roads. The big red flag, was that she did not report the accident. The PO found out when the customer called an complained, having video proof (from a doorbell cam, I suppose). He'd had the car parked in that spot for about 30 minutes when it happened, and had just gotten the car a week prior. A few weeks later, this RCA got her job back, claiming that a language barrier kept her from reporting the accident. (This person does speak English pretty well.)
Fast forward to when I quit (due to being overworked to the tune of 60-70 hours a week for months on end) in February of this year. This same RCA got into another accident. She hit a mailbox, causing damage to the LLV. Again, she did not report it. The regular carrier found the damage the next day and reported it. So accident-prone RCA (who at this point is now number one on the seniority list) is fired again. And I found out today, that she is getting her job back, again. "Because of a technicality" according to the postmaster. Of course everyone knows the post master never filed the paperwork.
Which I find fascinating, because he filed my paperwork when I turned in my letter of resignation that I was off the books within 3 days, such that my insurance was canceled even though I was still paying premiums for it.
And I was a hard worker who never go in an accident.
Gotta love that place...
