Need some advice

njchopper87 · 06-09-2012, 07:21 PM

I start a new job next Monday. I've been taking my dad's truck to the interviews, so they don't know I have a motorcycle as my only means of transportation. I have orientation this coming Friday which my dad is also letting me borrow his truck for. Do I tell them on Friday, or do I just show up on the bike the following Monday? I feel silly asking this, but I'd rather ask others opinions before making a move.

Don't tell them. They don't need to know that. Let them ask if they have the concern.

Rangerscott · 06-09-2012, 09:07 PM

Agreed with Trip.

Is this just a job or a career job?

Homeslice · 06-09-2012, 10:10 PM

Depends on what the job is.

Captain Morgan · 06-09-2012, 10:25 PM

Why would it matter? Does the job require travel, with lugging around a bunch of tools and stuff?

Gas Man · 06-09-2012, 11:16 PM

Agreed with the boys...

And is it a job or a career?

Also consider while it may be abnormal in SC, in many states like cali and florida this would be somewhat more normal.

I'm wondering why it matters? Hell, as long as you get there on time I don't give a shit if you drive a damn power wheels.

If the job doesn't require a truck, why would it matter? Of course this is assuming you still ride in bad weather.

There's your answer.

Never ask "permission", for things you shouldn't have to ask permission for.

Unless your job description requires you to deliver items with your personal vehicle, it doesn't concern them.

Since the motorcycle is your only means of transportation, you have no excuse for not going to work in bad weather.
