Re: when co-worker don't do there jobs
Oh, boy. I had a cow-orker like that at DL. On two separate occasions I had to go to leads to talk about how I had to cover for her not doing her job. Another time, she showed up to work, clocked in, then sat in the break room for about fifteen minutes past her actual start time before she started working. Another girl ended up getting her break late because of it.
Eventually she was fired for having something like 55 points.

Can you say "E-Stop"?tskbf2005 wrote:on saturday at bigfoot rapids i was at unload, 11 boats will my grouper was on the party line with the towers while i was loading, grouping, speiling and unloading the boats, the shift lead ask him time and time againg to get off the phone. can you say accident wahting to happen? :mad:
I did this to one lazy co-worker about eight times one day because he kept leaving the boarding area. Finally, there were enough complaints at City Hall that management came out and asked what the problem was. Everyone there just pointed silently to the same guy.
Justice is sweet when it's served by the whole team! :D:

And if I'd been you, or even been a guest riding, I'd have ripped your grouper a couple of new ones. Even at 11 boats (what happened to 13 boat minimum operation?) you don't have time under SOP to cover the entire turntable. I may not like the way that KBF runs things, but I also don't like lazy employees. The towers, I can understand sitting and talking on the P-line. Hell, I spent many a day doing it there myself. But if you're at the turntable, you damn well better be doing your job!tskbf2005 wrote:on saturday at bigfoot rapids i was at unload, 11 boats will my grouper was on the party line with the towers while i was loading, grouping, speiling and unloading the boats, the shift lead ask him time and time againg to get off the phone. can you say accident wahting to happen? :mad:

Not at KBF, Zazu. On Bigfoot Rapids, unless you see a person in the water, have boats backing up at the bottom of the lift, or have a broken board, you do NOT hit that e-stop. When I still worked there, a first unnecessary E-stop was an immediate final written warning. A second one before the first one cleared your record? Well, best clean out your locker and head to the unemployment office. It's how the bastards got rid of me.Zazu wrote:Can you say "E-Stop"?

Basically, unnecessary downtime at KBF is the biggest nono you can commit. :mad:
Keep in mind that this was circa 1998, but based on what I'm hearing, it doesn't seem to have changed.
Re: when co-worker don't do there jobs
Oh, and I should mention that they consider accidental E-stops to be unnecessary, and punish you for them. (Even if the e-stop is triggered by lightly brushing over the button with your damn jacket, or bumping your stupid head into the unprotected button!)

i still don't how someone head can hit the e-stop?CBeilby wrote:Oh, and I should mention that they consider accidental E-stops to be unnecessary, and punish you for them.

It's the one at Group, on the side of the stairs. I was putting the Park Patrol back under the stairs, and bumped the damn thing with my forehead.tskbf2005 wrote:i still don't how someone head can hit the e-stop?

Re: when co-worker don't do there jobs
It is very easy to hit an E-Stop. When I used to work at KBF, I was at Supreme Scream. The E-Stop was at the top of the control console. A co-worker of mine was pointing at something and the next thing you know, his arm accidently hit the E-stop and all of the sudden, the ride started to come down slowly.tskbf2005 wrote:i still don't how someone head can hit the e-stop?
