Nepotism. Bored maintenance department head who can't wait to retire. Also company is really slow to adapt to the 21st century and are therefore very low tech and out of touch with current changes in MOL / RTA laws. Got a disgruntled employee who costs them rentals/ makes them look bad, but it's apparently not worth a few thousand dollars to pay his severance. Be prepared to work your off days picking up Disgruntled Employee's slack.
