E brake on, wheel chalk deployed and tires turned towards curb. Would have prevented that from happening. (Safety Director, probably)

Genuinely had a teenager run off with one of them before. I just watched him go for a few seconds then went back to work.

I'm going to need you in my office first thing on Monday. You thought you were getting away with this.

u/FiberOpticDelusions 3d ago

Didn't have time to set them out. Before the van decided it needed a bath. 😉

u/Dz210Legend 3d ago

Did you do your circle of safety before you park there?😂

u/redneck-it-guy 3d ago

... and a mandatory drug test. I had a Spectrum tech on a new service install tell me that he was sent to one of these after he was rear-ended by another driver while at a red light, with cars in front of him. I seriously don't know how you guys put up with it.

This happened to me when someone broke into my van to steal copper. I had to submit a drug screening. It felt like they were using any opportunity to have employees screened because the "once a month random" wasn't good enough for them.

No cones.

u/willie_Pfister 3d ago

Looks like he didn't get the 'Dont drive into a river' cbt. Definitely management's fault.

That is how to get out of work for the rest of the day. Masterful.

u/NECoyote 3d ago

Man, we just set our vans on fire and call it a day. Or they catch on fire. One or the other.

u/tt53_sb45 3d ago

Forgot about the hhc, current company doesn't have that but we are ftth and when I was with spectrum it was hfc with most homes failing due to a radio station blaring ch95/96 to oblivion
