So yeah im in the company truck and backed up on a ramp to my customers big industrial overlift door. I go inside and hit the up button...the door is moving upward. I stop to comment on the snow in april? With one of the customer's employees. I watch him walk down the ramp a few steps. I go around my truck and peer inside the bay( it's open/ clear)..i then pop into my truck and start slowly backing up..paying full attention to my side mirrors.. And then...i crashed into their garage door...wtf??? How??? Am i on crack??? A dude from ship and receiveing comes over with the manager. We try to get the door open. The dude tells the manager that someone must have hit the wrong key faub button or just lowered my sides open door..thus closing it seeing how its 32 out today...without seeing me backing in. And to my credit..yes i was watching my mirrors..but they dont extent to the upper railings of my truck. The part that made contact with the closing door. It's like you using you car's mirrors to see if you left your drink on your car's roof, So i " roll with that"...cause honestly i'm pretty damn sure that garage door was open above my truck. There is no damage to my companies truck. The ship and rec manager believes they are at fault. I was told by another employee that same bay door was fucked up yesterday and they were having problems with it... So it might have closed on it's own...damage to the door?.some obvious damage/ dents to the doir but it still works. So would you tell your boss or would you keep your mouth shut

Given that they have virtually admitted that it was their fault - YES tell the boss. If someone later tries to come at you as the cause, then the boss has something to go on by saying that their company employees said it was their fault. And should your boss accept the costs for repair as a way of keeping the customer, he will want to put it through his insurance. So once again, YES tell him.

My attitude changed in the last couple of years. When we got sold to a much larger outfit and changed management including a number of supervisors, life was really different. Before I would have taken pictures and wrote a report, told the boss and carried on. Now I would make sure all was good with the place I was at and would have ignored my company. But I must thank the new company. I told them last April I was going off sick because of fear of covid and then retire. They said okay. I spent 11 months on sick pay (70  from the end of April to the end of March and got my first pension cheque April 1st. So thank you because I know from all the others that it is a very toxic place to work. Putting everyone on piece work cancelling alot of the simple things, on and on. Even though it is snowing today I am taking the camera and kayak out for a trip down the river.Have fun eh
