Probie92

If I resign while still on probation, will I be eligible for rehire in the future? Or will I be blacklisted? I don't think this job is for me. Probationary bus operator...

Thank you. I will be more careful with passing vehicles and obstructed bus stops. I thought I had the space to clear, but I was clearly wrong. I spoke to the union as well and they said something like this WON'T get your probation extended. They did say I will get a counsel. Hopefully I can put this incident behind me and make the 1 year probation without any further incident/accident.

Hello everyone, I am a new bus operator working for MTA Bus company out of a depot in Queens. I just started on my own within the last two weeks. I was involved in an accident today. The bus stop I was going to service was obstructed by another vehicle, so as i was going past the vehicle, the right side of my bus hit the vehicle, taking off the mirror and causing a small crack in the glass of my bus. Nobody was injured, i called command and they sent a dispatcher and a superintendent to the scene. Did all the drug and alcohol test and filled out the paperwork. My concern is, will my probation be extended? Will i be fired? Please advise.
