thank you for the clarification. I've never seen a dog run but I've seen a dog run. Looks like avoidable accident after all.

Just going by experience on my previous comment. Sorry to say, was also shamed (though center manager did not say my name, 80% knew it was "mine") in a PCM over an "avoidable accident" which I already described several times on this site.

Unreported avoidable accident.
That's how I see it. Don't you get fired on the spot for that?
Why anyone would risk this job by not reporting an accident....

Sounds like a very uncomfortable situation for everyone involved. Especially the driver who had the accident. The center manager could have spoken with the driver beforehand, and asked him to share the error with the work group, as a learning experience - to keep the other drivers from making the same error. Sounds like the center manager let the pressure of peak season, and the impending butt chewing on a conference call, get the better of him......

No It's not green grocer!
Yes, if termination is the discipline to be given(and contractually it should be) it would have to be done immediately upon knowledge by the company. There is no chance the company would prevail in front of a panel if they allowed someone to continue work because they needed them for peak and then fired them when the decided they no longer need them.

center manager made that decision when he let him report to work the next day.

Most likely the Division Manager made that decision.
We'll I'm happy too report everything is aok, like I said before the center manager is a good guy and so is the driver and I'm glad it's water under the bridge. I think they both know there both lucky to still have there jobs. I'm glad we can all learn from both of their mistakes from this situation and hope it doesn't happen again.
So you're saying the center manager did the right thing, and apologized in front of the group?

If just one driver corrected an unsafe behavior based on what the injured driver said then the center manager made the right call by "embarrassing" him.
We had a driver get injured on Thursday. He was wearing ice cleats and misjudged the step going back in to the pkg car, slipped and fell, catching himself with his right hand. He was wearing a sling yesterday and I heard that he had injured his rotator cuff. The center manager asked him during the PCM to tell us what happened and the driver said if he had just lifted his foot 1/2" higher none of this would have happened so all of the drivers wearing ice cleats were more aware of their footing as a result of what he said.
