victim of Road Rage, hit and run by a coworker, how should I handle this?

ah well, made a change from the "Wave" threads for a couple of days ;)
 
so, now I'm a little bit disoriented in that thread... :confused5:
1) is that about the "Road Rage", when OP was on his bike and somebody tried to kill him with a car backing up? And this happen on the road out of the company property?
or
2) is that thread about OP's troubles with his coworkers in the company?

If that is the second one, then why should we care?
If that the first one, why OP did not report the incident to police?
 
Under the occupation health and safety act they are required to take every precaution for the protection of the worker. By the same act I am required by law to raise all issues pertaining to my safety. I did that. Now the company is obliged to deal with matter. Failure on their end will result in my filing an official complaint with the ministry of labour. Going after me would be reprisal.


I bet they will pay you out and say good bye
 
First of all, I actually read all 13 pages. WOW

Next, OP is a victim of bullying. Poor guy.

I realize logic is not everyones strong suit.
Obviously your definition of what is logical is quite different from everyone else.

You asked for advice . Nearly everyone said call the cops. You called HR? I'm pretty sure you leave the same impression with the people you work with, as you do here.
Sorry he did not CALL HR, he EMAILED HR regarding the fact that he almost got killed and received numerous death threats.

OP, what company do you work for? I want to apply and have the HR department having my back when I am out on the road.

Lastly, goddam OP get some balls and stand-up for yourself. Not emailing irrelevant people.

Here's a scenario for you. As is known with insurance, 1 million dollars in accident benefits is mandatory. This goes towards wage replacement and medical bills for whatever length to rehabilation. The recent changes to insurance put in place a 30 000 dollar deductlible for the right to sue. Let's say the company ignores my complaints against guy #1 and guy #2 and I am run off the road and I am hurt severely, I am covered regardless in the no fault scheme. After the fact I will have little problem finding a lawyer that will have zero problem suing guy #1 or guy #2 and also listing the company on the suit. If the company is listed they are required by law to retain a lawyer. It is in the company's interest to address the situation.

So your plan is to get injured and then sue...

Let me know how that works out for you.

No Man, he will get injured and then EMAIL HR. dude, don't you get the pattern. He will think it's a waste of time to sue, since he won't win, cause they got n number of witnesses.

HR will solve it.
 
To do what with? Make paper airplanes? I already reported the guy to the fire chief. Who knows what he did, if anything, perhaps he deleated the email as spam. That's the extent of what the cops will do in this situation.

Then why are you bothering anyone with this little adventure you had?
 
Then you have never been in a union as you would know that is BS. All unions care about is the money they get, not you.

I've been in many unions. What you say is correct AND incorrect. They protect the workers BIG TIME. But they need money.
 
I've never been in a union, so I'll take your word on it.. OP.. Based on your posts in this thread, this is probably the first time you're hearing this: You were assaulted by a vehicle in a staged collision - CALL THE COPS!!! :cool: You need a paper record of your complaint in case they turn around and start throwing accusations - the cops will be less likely to believe them if they decide to get you into more ****
 
Reported to the fire chief. Lol. Most of the Platoon Chief's I know would read your email in the morning briefing to the guy's. Then the guys would spend five minutes discussing it, and laughing at you. If it made it to the District chief; Guy #1 would get called into the office and told to stay away from you so it doesn't escalate any further; then spend two minutes laughing at you.

Almost had me convinced you were a fire fighter there ..

Your rank structure is what throws you to the dogs.

Large, fulltime service - FF, capt, district chief, platoon chief, deputy chief, chief. Toronto, add a couple more layers below deputy.

If (because who knows what the hell is truth in this train wreck) there was a green light involved it was a volly FF. Chief and maybe a deputy are the only chiefs you'll find in one of those. They should be taking a complaint about one of their ff's driving a green light equipped vehicle seriously. But again, anything coming from the OP is gonna raise more questions than concerns.

Oh snap. I didn't know we were doing FF 1 today; one sec let dust off my IFSTA. Who is to say guy #1 pager/radio wasn't transmitting when the OP is claiming misuse of the green light.

I was wondering that myself. Since OP said he didn't even know what a green light meant, how could he know the guy wasn't responding? In that case he probably deserved the bitching he got as it probably wasn't as big a deal as IIWII made it out to be.

I would ask how you could be ignorant of the road rules (pretty common ones anyway) but it's Ontario and I have seen it's drivers so nothing would surprise me any more.

I wonder if he asks what a blue flashing light means in the winter on 4500lbscar.com
 
Ok I have to ask.
And believe me I don’t ask much around here.
I’ve read all you post and you seem to of put all of your eggs in one basket.
“You want your company to do something about this.”
If I’m wrong about this please feel free to tell me.
I have read where you have given different kinds of scenarios and such so my question to you is this.
Just what exactly do you expect you company to do about this?

  1. A simple conversation with the accused asking them to stop?
  2. Some kind of cash reimbursement?
  3. Should the accused be put on suspension or termination?
  4. A meeting with all parties to clear the air?
  5. All or some of the above?
You have made it pretty clear that you don’t want the authorities involved and would rather handle this in house.
This is completely understandable but keep in mind…sometimes you get more than what you wish for.
Are you prepared for the consequences if said company elects to use option 3?

You're missing the point.

Even if guy #1 was responding it is not legal or desired for him to be speeding or driving aggressively.

Unless you are hurt on company property, there's going to be little to no case to list the company on the lawsuit. What happens after hours is a personal matter. Besides, there won't be a point in filing a lawsuit if you're turned into mush. Whatever though, clearly you really aren't interested in sound advice and just wanted to troll for attention.

He may have not been speeding or driving aggressively as the OP may have stated in the in one of his above post. We have only heard one side of four potential different opinions of what actually transpired. OP could possibly be boosting his side of the story to make it seem like guy number one is in the wrong.

The OP posted this thread not to hear advice on what to do or how to handle the situation. From my understanding the OP wanted to get some sympathy from the riding community, and have most readers jump on his bandwagon to claim that his coworkers are arrogant d bags.

The OP might also not want to involve police because he doesn't want to potentially get caught lying to the police, causing the officer to write up a report that is untrue. If someone attempted to run me off the road or was tailgating me aggressively one day, then ended up backing into me another day; I would requesting the police to look into it. I would not be expecting some small town fire chief to satisfy my grievances.
 
As you can tell by my post count, I don't chime in very often, but I do check in daily & poke around. I must say that in my 20 months as a member of
this forum, this is all at the same time the best, the worst, the most self-indulgent, the funniest, the most pathetic, the most nonsensical, and the BEST
thread ever! I absolutely can't wait to hear what spectacular details will be added by the originator today to keep this going!

if there was a flashing light no matter what the colour I would pull over. I don't even know what all the colour means but it's got to mean pull over to the side of the road for some sort of emergency.
