A great noise was made, as “caught” from a video of a train driver of the Suburban Railway of Patras… eating while the train was in motion. His unprofessional behavior was understandably commented on in various ways, both by the media and on the internet. Of course, it was a trivial matter, when the train was carrying dozens of passengers and the driver’s attention was distracted for some minutes of the hour. If there had been an accident on the way, we can easily imagine what turn the worker’s “misplaced” would have taken…
However, although fortunately nothing happened, some imaginative people who are prone to “cannibalism” took action. Somehow, we read that the train driver, following a decision by Hellenic Train… apologized, while elsewhere that he was suspended!
Fortunately, of course, logic and composure prevailed. In the country of the flamboyant orange tree where twisted attitudes are the regime, any “caratomization” is not a solution. Specifically, in this particular case, the organization’s management recommended the admonition, giving the driver a second chance – and he did well. He placed him out of service for 7 days without paythe employee served his sentence and as of September 1st he is performing his duties again. This train driver is almost certainly “won” by the company, because only if he is stupid will he… eat again, while on duty.
Otherwise, journalism is “saturated” with insults (rightfully so, several times) and more responsibility would not hurt, because it cannot bear any more.
