TRIMET RESPONDS TO THE KHRIS ALEXANDER INCIDENT
TRIMET:
A TriMet employee posted the passing of a long-time operator, which is someone... Read More’s right to do. Other operators expressed concerns to the operator’s supervisor because they were upset to learn of the passing in such a manner. We typically inform the supervisors of a passing, who then communicate directly to employees who worked with the individual, we send in grief counselors, etc. We handle these kinds of situations very sensitively. The supervisor approached the operator just to inform that others were impacted by the post. We did not ask to have the post taken down, nor would we have the right to ask him to do so in this situation. We just wanted to alert the operator that other people were emotionally upset.
KHRIS:
This is crap!

Khris who would care that we posted something about the death of a friend? None of us would have known and went to work and seen her picture up and have to deal with it while driving a bus. I think you did them a favor. So we are no longer to talk about work here?

WAIT A MINUTE!
What does this have to do with TRIMET?
Did it happen or not?
Your not in personnel!
Your not a manger!... Read More
You didn't sign any sort of confidentiality agreement!
If a sister operator died we all want to know!
I think they are over their parameters on this one, I'll remove all my posts regarding this until it plays out.
They can "ask" you to remove it, but they can't "force" you under threat of discipline.
THIS IS NOT A TRIMET ISSUE!
BTW- I have no communications regarding this from the management, and they are always good about letting me know when there is a problem on my blog.
