Well it was not a fun night diving to work last night. The roads were completely covered with snow. Diane (my friend) had to watch the right side so I didn't fall off the edge of the road while I tied to find the center line. Which I couldn't because of the snow. Mostly I just drove down the middle until a semi would come up behind me and I had to inch my way over to the right lane.
And the snow was still coming down so hard. You know what it's like when your driving in it and it starts to freak your eyes out when it swirls around the headlights.
It took us an extra 45 mins. to get there but we made it safe and thats the main thing.
Then I had 2 meetings with management. They want to start an annual review policy for employees which we've never had before except for new hires. This will piss alot of people off. But it is the job of both the company and the union to help get it started as smoothly as possible.
Then before I left this morning an employee asked me to go up to H.R. with her to represent her as she had been called to the office. She was on a "last chance" write up and had been caught on the security cameras taking extended breaks and time charging. Being on a last chance gives the company the right to fire you for the smallest violation so there wasn't any way I could save her job for her.
I felt so bad. Right before the holidays too. But there really wasn't anything I could do. I told her when they wrote her up the first time that they would be watching for her to screw up and not to give them any reason to terminate her. I still feel bad though. Sometimes this job sucks and I wonder why I do it.
