Take it from me, you’ll never get anywhere kicking off about lazy [zb] at work because Ive come to the conclusion that the less you do, the more they (management) think of you! Over the years, Ive learnt to live with it.Spot on.
Employee A turns in every day without fail on time, does everything he’s asked, no trouble, no damage, totally reliable, good with customers, ideal employee.
B takes the ■■■■, might do a full month once a year, has more sickies than enough, regular damage usually unreported and denied, upsets the customers, does as little as possible when he is there, spits his dummy out and jumps up and down like a spoiled kid when he just once gets a worse run than anyone else, complete waste of space.
Guaranteed the traffic office think the sun shines out of B’s arse, because they take A for granted and give him the work because they know it will be done without another thought.
Traffic office over the moon that B happened to turn up, won’t even bother to try to get him to do something hard cos he’ll argue the toss and even if forced to do it will find a defect/traffic/delay/sickie…no i can’t understand why they don’t just sack the useless twerp, but i’ve seen variations on this throughout my whole working life…and i’ve seen those that should have been sacked years ago walk away with £30 to 40k volutary redundancy, whilst the genuine blokes who applied couldn’t get a look in.
It’s ■■■■ poor management that I have long believed is the root cause of the poor reputation of British workers.

Agreed, and its at saturation point now as the last of the real transport men have just about disappeared.
Just keep a diary of all the goings on. Might come in handy at a later date.
