How would you handle this work situation?
 

I work in an offsite building for a hospital. They were always a little short on parking but they recently built a new building next to us which knocked out another 45 stalls and they are stating when the new building actually opens we will be short 100 parking stalls. They are currently shuttling people from about a mile away down to the location. The shuttle runs from our building to the hospital to the another offsite location back to the parking garage. A bit of a time killer.

When parking was a little short before we would sometimes park in the legal residential parking on some of the side streets. They sent out an email last week stating we were no longer allowed to do this. They even went so far as to put tickets from security on peoples cars who had parked there. I wish I knew what the tickets said but I haven't talked to anyone that had gotten one yet. They know which cars are employees by stickers that are required to park anywhere at the hospital or on campus.

As sometimes I like to be a little bit of a rabble rouser I am trying to think of the best response if I should happen to get a ticket parking in the residential area. I know they can fire you for anything but I really can't see how they can tell you not to park in a legal parking spot. I wouldn't push this to that extreme anyway. I would however be willing to cause a little bit of a ruckus over it. Any suggestions?

Put rat poison in the coffee creamer. As people die off, spots will open up. Maybe some of your bosses too. You could wind up getting promoted to a position that gets an assigned parking spot. Problem solved. Your welcome.

This is number one on my list of suggestions from this thread. Thank you.

Don't illegally park.

I don't think you read it correctly. But I will agree with your statement.

You're right I put "il" in front of legally in my mind.

Well you are from Los Angeles...:D

How can a company give you a parking ticket for parking legally? You're right this is messed up.

I don't like it when people with no authority like to think they have some. My pet peeve in this area is when some non-police officer who makes 8 bucks an hour working for a parking lot or some business tries to direct traffic that goes by their business.

F you, guy. Your flashlight doesn't make you shit.

Bitching about it isn't going to change anything so I wouldn't bother myself. Piss me off yes bitch about it when nothing can be done no.

I used to work at a large insurance company here in Omaha. Back before they had enough spots, I used to park in the neighborhood next to our complex. The people who lived there absolutely hated us. Yes, we were parking legally, but the people in the neighborhood were having a hard time parking near their own house. I can see why it's lame to park in the neighborhood, but when your work doesn't give you other options, it's a catch 22.

Your work provides a shuttle. It's inconvenient, but better than nothing. I'd bet your work has been hearing it from the people who live there, and they are trying to make everyone happy.

Take the shuttle. Enjoy the ride.

yea dude, uunleash HELL!!

I get that you are legally parked in a residential area, but if you were a resident dealing with a hundred extra cars you wouldn't be happy about it. I feel like the neighborhood probably does have some authority to enforce not allowing non residents to park there all day. Maybe they are having security put the tickets there so that the police don't have to get involved.

I have parking issues, every ****ing day .

EVERY ****ING DAY MOTHER****ERS!
