This was in Florida.  Which one of our Florida members did this?

You are one lousy risk manager.

I am reminded of this incident (no shooting, but NSFW language):

Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

This makes me curious as to what the nature Of our "safety review" will be.
Somehow corporate always manages to at least imply that the techs involved are at least partially at fault. Even a tornado knocking a tree over on a service truck parked overnight in a company lot got us a lecture on safe parking and storm safety.

Sounds like a waste of time and a morale killer to do that.

And shooting out the tires and engine helps with clearing the driveway how?

It doesn't look like they were blocking any driveways.  More like he didn't like the view.

Had some fun, disabled FedEx truck in front of my house, 2 others unloading the packages, a couple days ago.  My drive wasn't blocked, didn't give a shot. They were handling it.

Amazing how fast the other 2 showed up.

Packages have to get delivered, otherwise there are refunds to issue when people complain.  Also, there's not going to be less freight tomorrow.

I saw the USPS equivalent yesterday at the office. There were two mail trucks and a sedan parked haphazardly across some empty spots right in front of the main doors. The drivers of the mail trucks were screaming at each other and gesticulating wildly and two people from the sedan (some sort of supervisors) were trying to mediate. Turned out someone wasn't able to finish their route and other folks had to cover and they were apparently a bit unhappy about it.

I did say it was coming from Corporate. I'm pretty sure that is their intended metric.
