Should I mention this to my bosses?

[Number1]

Who can forget this incident:

Engineer texting 22 seconds before deadly train crash: safety board

So OP whatever course of action you decide on, your co worker needs to stop this practice immediately.

 

[Mo0o]

Not sure if a memo is going to do any good. The texting girl probably knows its something she's not suppose to be doing but doesnt really care unless there are clearly cut consequences and she's like to get caught.

what a bunch of scum i say

When did people start being such lazy pansies about responsibility?

When did people start becoming such back-stabbing bitches?

TALK TO YOUR CO-WORKER!

I'd give the # out to someone here, but there's no mark on the van so no one would know where to call...I'm just going to mention it to the boss without specifics.

What are you going to do when he/she asks who's the driver?

she didn't ask. I told her that even though I was new and didn't want to step on any toes I had seen one of the staff members texting while driving the van, to the point it would be veering in the lane on the road. I asked if she could put out a memo or something along those lines asking staff not to. She was concerned, and thanked me for bringing it to her attention.

You did the right thing. That memo that goes out should sate that such an infraction could lead to dismissal.

Let me guess, she didn't give you any...

I'm hoping so. She seemed kind of taken aback that this was happening. The boss won't be there tomorrow, but Friday she'll be back, I'm assuming something will go out then.

Yes. At least now if it does come up again, she can say she warned the staff.

Telling a coworker first = being a MAN

Tattling on a coworker first = being a whiny BITCH

I call shens or a personal beef as there is no way he could have witnessed this regularly.

This, you should have tried talking to the girl first before complaining to your boss.

Totally, it's not like this behavior is dangerous or anything. I'm sure you could even drive a train and text at the same time. Oh wait....

I'm laughing at the "don't say anything" crowd. And I believe some of them are actually adults.

OP, you absolutely did the right thing.

? We do ride alongs in the van and different people drive. She did it everytime she drove, and the other new coworker I have said she saw the same thing on repeated occasions as well.
