Seems like some of you want to tar and feather Janks without knowing his side ... which is exactly why there should be an official communication.

I don't think there are too many people more paranoid about this fucking virus than I am. I take my mail in with tongs and put it in a rack I made with the days of the week on it and don't touch it for 4 or 5 days. Everything I bring home from the supermarket is either not touched for 4 or 5 days or it is wiped with alcohol. I even spray my fucking newspaper with alcohol!

So, if you think I'm not nervous about having spoken to Bobby ... although it was outside and I was reasonably distanced from him ... you're wrong. I am.

Well I just spoke to Bobby a few minutes ago. He says he now is experiencing only mild symptoms. He only learned Saturday that he was positive. He told me he had no idea he had the virus when he came to work Friday and only learned after he left Friday that the son who lives with him tested positive.

I have no reason not to believe him and in retrospect do not see that he was irresponsible in any way or had any reason not to come to work Friday morning. You can believe what you want but I felt compelled to tell his side of the story.

People who were in the office all week and in contact with Bobby, like Andy, Anthony, Scott, etc. have tested negative. So if you just happened to pass him in the driver's room or talked to him through the plexiglass it's unlikely that you caught it. But there's no harm in getting tested.

Still, I think an email from the company would have put some fears to rest or at least have given us a clearer picture of the situation.

And why didn't pioneer notify anyone Friday night after he learned about his son being sick that lives with him? Or even Saturday when he tested positive? Why Sunday night at 8pm ? Makes no sense !

If everything stated in this thread is true concerning Bobby and knowing that his son had tested positive prior to coming in on Friday.

It apparently is not true and he didn't know. Read my separate post.

You know what they say about assuming ...

What's not true ?

So you mean to tell me it's almost 9:00 on a Sunday night and the company didn't even have the courtesy or professionalism to reach out to the employees and direct what the whole company should do ? That's a shame !

FYI

What about testing ? What about letting the workers know ? Have they thought to do that ?

So word has it over at Pioneer that Dispatcher Bob Janks has Covid and came to work
Sick !! How irresponsible and reckless is that? And wait the best part is his family members have it too!! Is this some kind of joke ? I have a lot of friends at Pioneer and plenty of them have family members with compromised health issues or they themselves have underlining health issues. I'm wondering how the owner Neil is going to handle this? Don't Drivers and matrons enter that office daily ?  What about the other office workers that were not 6 feet away and now possibly infected as well? I was under the impression that it was a safety violation through the CDC anyone infected would have to report it and then be quarantined until no longer sick! Something Is not right here !!
