Today I got into an accident while driving the rental vehicle. I work for a rental company and was delivering a vehicle to a different site.
No one is hurt. The rental car has no damage but the other guys car has damage on the bumper so of course we had to call the insurance companies.
I am so freaked out!
I’ve only had this job for a month and it’s the best job I’ve ever had. What if I’m fired over the accident?
I’m 29 years old and this is the first real accident I’ve ever had.
I’m so stressed out right now. I can’t lose this job.
I need to be able to make money so I can get my own apartment so I can stop crashing at friends houses.
I know they want me out. They’ve been so patient with me but I don’t blame them.
I’ve been here since January. That’s when I left my house because of threats from him and his girlfriend. I still don’t feel that safe here though. He knows where I am. I’d love to have a place of my own.
None of that is going to happen if I’m fired.
I called my boss to let him know what happened. Told him that insurances were called and everything is fine. He didn’t seem too upset but he never really does. I asked him what happens when something like this happens and he said he didn’t know. I work for such a huge company so I don’t know what will happen.
I’ve heard of drivers hitting animals or parked cars and they still work for the company but I don’t know about actual accidents.
Plus it’s only been a month.
I’m so scared. I can’t lose this job.
