I may have mentioned before I currently drive a van, get good money and have hotels and lunch/dinner paid for. It’s a really good job and in return I will happily bend over backwards for my gaffer to help him out.
He’s recently took on a office manager who’s soul job is to come up with procedures for every task and he’s destroying what was a good company to work for.
His latest rule is that I’m no longer allowed to use my ipad as a satnav as it’s not securely attached to the screen. I usually have it sat next to me so I can hear the directions and rarely glance over at it.
Apart from saying “wtf has it got to do with you how I use my personal ipad for navigation” how would you respond to his new rule?
For anyone who thinks I’m being awkward here’s a couple of other procedures he’s came up with in the last two weeks
-no eating or drinking in company vehicles meaning I have to stand next to my van if I want a brew or sarny. I don’t
- toilet roll replacement procedure stuck on the wall in the office, they don’t even have these in schools And I’m quite sure fully grown men know how to change the toilet roll
I’ll try and get a picture later.
He’s disliked from the labourers at the bottom of the company right upto the project managers/sales at the top and we’re all not too sure how to approach it without making waves for a boss we all like
