RANTINGS OF A FORMER TRIMET BUS DRIVER: Dec 21, 2010

Tuesday, December 21, 2010

Another thing I don’t like about working here:

They keep moving the managers around!

I had a relationship with Lyle; I understood him and his communication style, now he is gone, and I have to deal with someone I have never met, have no relationship with, and who knows nothing about me!

I have no Idea who Robert Romo is, I never even heard of him till he was appointed station manager here! Does he have any transit experience or is he just another hard-ass administrator who just see’s us as a commodity that he has to deal with and “get into line?”.

Trimet keeps talking about valuing their operators, but every single aspect of their administrative policies exemplifies the exact opposite!

I want Lyle!

MARCUS GRIFFITH HOUNDING ME AND MY ASSOCIATES FOR INFO---MY RESPONSE:

Al Margulies:

I am a freelance journalist for The Vancouver Voice. Would you like to
comment on your thoughts regarding HR 202 and its potential conflict
with freedom of speech? Also, would you like to comment on what
guidelines employers should set to govern off-duty employee conduct
that impacts the workplace?

And he keeps on hounding me

I am curious as to why you claim your off-duty blog has nothing to do
with TriMet yet you refer questions regarding your blog to TriMet.
Would it be fair characterize your actions as an admission that TriMet
has authority over your off-duty blogging conduct?

Meeting changed

My excellent union rep Jeff Acherson has secured a meeting time at 5:30, my report time!
Now I do not have to rearrange my whole life in order to please the nobility!

I RESPOND TO THE SUMMONS

Station Manager Romo;

I am receipt of your letter advising me that a meeting has been scheduled for me today at 4pm.

This letter was made available yesterday after 11pm, less than 24 hours notice!

I am unable to come in at that time. I have another position that requires me to maintain an office which is open till 4pm.

The earliest I can be at any meeting would be 4:45pm, if the traffic cooperates fully.

I generally catch the 5pm max to Willow Creek so if the meeting will be longer than 15 minutes it would be advisable to cover my run until such time that I will be released.
