This! Heck I snap a pic and text mgmt if I break a tree branch on a rural “driveway” just in case. Unless you kill someone they can’t fire you.

Right. But the smallest fender bender can get you fired if you don’t report it and the other driver does.
Not for the crash, for the dishonesty.

Must be nice when your feeder accidents aren't crushing people like water balloons. Loader was super lucky all they lost was a limb. We "allegedly" had a guy jump down real quick and had his head pop like a grape. Would be uh, five or six years ago now? People seemed visibly affected when it was first mentioned, like they missed their friend or something.

Well let's explore for a minute...this may or not be true. I've seen things happen to folks and they never come back. I've seen folks
terminated with the standard 3 in a certain time period and they are gone. It just depends. Serious troublemaker i.e. serial filer, all bets
are off. If you are a foe of the company and union, you won't sleep "sound" after each event. It's hard to imagine how far up some mgt.s
arse someone is to survive 6 accidents and still be employed. They have to be a relative of some sort. I have seen teflon employees that
can do no wrong and you find out they are a relative of someone high up. The outcome is never CERTAIN.....that is certain.
For thought: Try to imagine the above scenario driver(6 accident guy) finally killing someone. That thick file is opened to reveal that he is
on his 7TH! accident. See?

Really?Tiers mean nothing contractually that is true. But it means something to management. In my case the fact that it was a “hit other in rear” turned a very minor crash that other driver didn’t want to report into a Big Deal for them which caused knee jerk reaction to wrongfully terminate me.
One of my senior brother mentors once told me “Your nobody in this company unless you’ve been fired at least once!”
Of course, it bears mentioning that over 15 years later I’m still here.
