Last Friday the cheeky mothers rang me telling me they had reconsiderd there position and now could offer me the job on a rate of 12 pounds an hour.
Guess my reply Waitrose,. Go shove it where the sun dont shine.
Go get one of the ■■■■ in a suit to repair the trailer hub that fell off cos one of your collegues dont know how to repair a [zb] trailer.
About time all these “companies” started to realise you can hire any useless prick in a suit but can he keep your truck on the road? Pay me or go out of business .

If they want a corporate clone then thats exactly what they’ll get and reap the rewards, you’d think they would know that.
Every good lorry mechanic i’ve known has been as far removed from office wallahs as you could get, talking the management talk doesn’t get the bloody job done when its filthy and freezing and somethings broke and the solution needs a bit of lateral thinking.

from people I know ,john lewis / waitrose is a decent company to work for ,you have that nice yearly bonus ,which is usually a few grand,your company discounts ,refunds for doing things in your own time ie …say you take kids to the zoo ,or stay overnight in a hotel ,hand in your receipts and get a % of your spending back…and I bet they aren’t pushed

At least you’re not bitter about it ! Why did you go for the job in the 1st place if you are on 4 pound an hour more already ?
If your post is anything to go by , your attitude stinks.
From past conversations with members of their Black Hand Gang who were not impressed by (then) recent arrivals. - Yes they are pushed compared to what you would expect in Fleet work. The idea of manufacturer’s training courses don’t seem to fit well with them either. If seeking employment, attitude as far as the management sees it, seems to be how well you can talk a good job and present little pieces of paper rather than actually do it. What company philosophy has to do with fixing trucks goodness knows.
I find it very unusual that a large company would give a reason for not giving you a job?
If not worded very carefully could lead to all sorts of problems.
Most companies that have turned me down for employment have just sent a letter stating that they regret to say that I was unsuccessful and wishing me the best in my hunt for work, no more than that. thats the ones that bother to inform you at all.

Ive said this before, some cant talk the talk and there are still people that cant read or write…but put an engine in front of them they could rebuild it before some could fill out there bull ■■■■ cv…dont allways judge a book by its cover.
I love reading stories like this one, well done mate, these companies need to know they are not the bee’s knee’s as they think they are.
When we all got redundancy at Fed Ex in Crick and Rugby I told that recriutment tart type woman at Stobbarts to get stuffed and that felt good.
Good drivers and good mechanics are not easy to find.
Good drivers know their job and do it,no messin, no disasters just get on with it.
Usualy find them a pleasure to deal with.
Then you got the wannabees.
Unfortunately the wannabees by whatever means,usualy by backstabbing and brown tonguing,get promoted to positions of “power” or so they think and its nice just once in a while to go tell these bloody primadonnas to go f themselves.
Because without the folk who really know the job they are bloody screwed.
