Considering getting a job
Thankyou for your response. I have decided against this job. My executive dysfunction is a huge obstacle for me and a huge problem with this job is the emense pressure to run on time above all else aside from saftey of course. You're not even allowed to use the bathroom when you need to and neither are the children on the bus. My moral character is not heartless and I cannot treat a child that way and I refuse to do that to myself too. That would make me feel more like a slave than a valued employee, feels dehumanizing actually. I do understand why I cannot leave the children unattended on the bus and I do understand why I cannot allow one off the bus unattended as well and I would never do that but on the other hand I cannot be heartless either, a serious moral conflict. Plus the company is making me jump through a lot of hoops about accommodating my service dog and I am not financially able to meet all their requirements. They want a more detailed doctor's note which means an appointment I can't afford right now.
i have autism but when i get behind the wheel you wouldnt notice it!.I can memorise all routes and street names and all that just like that
fortunately my boss is the understanding type and knows about my autism and he knows im excellent at my job so he gives me the same route every day and im happy doing it
i do 3 days on 3 days off and start sometimes 5am sometimes 6am but i finish at about 2pm or 1pm
i love my job and i feel buses understand me more than people do..im good at being authoritive with the passengers too but i have to mask a lot to appear chatty and friendly too
i hope you do whats best for you!;
