Fighting has always been a sacking offence in the workplace.
only if the loser complains ie. driver 2 gobs down driver1s back,driver1 is filling headertank at time(cause of toys out of pram) driver1 thumps driver2 round the head once or twice wi a watering can half fullâŚdriver2 runs to boss to complain ,boss calls him a dirty bas and puts his boot up drivers arse when he leaves room! Thats a real boss old school !as he told me (driver1) sort it out outside work.lost count over 21yrs wi company # of punchups in yrds,landfills ,outside depot gates.Not very PC but it was a mans world then.
erfguy you know who i mean lolol.

i know of a warehouse where 2 staff werenât exactly fighting, both threw punches that failed to connect. One jacked and the other got away with it.
Fighting is how kids settle arguements, doesnât solve anything in my eyes.
JIMBO47:
jesus what a bunch of kids drivers have become I wont take out the truck because -----dog been in cab ,day/night man smokes ,cabs dirty inside ffs are the bosses all wimps nowadays!!
If i had whined at the office about the above and said im not taking it out till cleaned i would have been told you want the job or not!plenty drivers lookingâŚ
on the big plan of life none of the above are worth more than a minutes thought, you have a job can pay the bills⌠doghair in the cab and youll grass a fellow driver up.jeessss. TF im out o the UK and working wi drivers again not bloody kids.
jimmy.hgv class of 81.
Iâm allergic to cats and dogs make my eyes swell up, difficult to breath, rash, itchy eyes, watering eyes etc etc I wouldnât be able to drive it unless I knew beforehand and dosed up on tablets Iâd crash no doubt about it

I agree, last fist fight i had was in 1983 when Iâd just left school. Waste of bloody time. I may make an exception though if anyone hurt my mrs or my dog.
Couple of guys where I work had a disagreement which was more like hand bags at dawn over a five pound note. Couple of punches thrown of which none conected.
One of em was seriously advised on several ocasions ânot to take the issue furtherâ, ie, involve managment and written statements etc as the other guy was willing to forget about it.
The â â â â â â â â wouldânt listen and they were both sacked. Lost around 28 grand a year each and their pension!

As I said fighting in the workplace is a sacking offence.What I should have also said,if found out.
Nothing to say you canât settle your differences out of sight.
The trouble is,these things usually happen in the heat of the moment. It usually ends with a lot of regrets,loss of job,making a fool of yourself.Or worse case scenario,getting a pasting.
Can be much harder to walk away from a fight but also takes a lot of self control & a big man
Just say nowt then when other person is finished speaking tell them you have nothing to say & walk away ( yep I have done this before not easy leaves the other person felling very small )
I will go to extremes to avoid a fight, especially at the work place, the last fight I had was un-avoidable sadly when I was in the Army, Was in the accommodation block and another Soldier was gobbing off and making me look a total wahankerdo in front of everyone because I didnât have time to take a few of them into town for a booze up (I had a car and he didnât), Got to the point where I had no choice but to invite him outside for a quiet chat and then stitched one on him - if I hadnât I would become fair game for any bully who fancied a pop, dog eat dog sadly. Never had any bother in that platoon afterwards mind so maybe worth it in the long run.

Well, ill be honest, i was knocked on my arse. not one of my finest moments in my career. The things i use to do for that cab mutt.

Stobart Job
Spell check has sort of recently in the newbies I do use it but if not sure how to spell the word it wont work as said in that thread the classic my daughter used to write lost instead of lots so spell checker wont pick that up
Yep you can have a sense of humour not a prob but sometimes when in print it dont always come across as that
Dave the Renegade:

no it hasnât. most bosses would usually wait until they get it out of their system, then carry on as normal.
far too many wannabe bosses nowadays. canât do this, canât do that.
who on here can honestly say theyâve never had a fight over [zb] all?

I remember after work when I was younger I laid into this guy and just couldnât stop the anger I felt was unreal. It was after 6 months of making me look small at work, he was a state apparently and had a week off work and never told anyone. I never got bothered again after that day, but I wouldnât do it now as my job is too valuable. Back in them days I had the I donât give a â â â â attitude, Iâm also 10 years older now and found new ways to deal with idiots without the risk of being jobless

Thereâs not many firms that would put you on a non-contributary pension these days that can be taken away at will.
Taking away a pension that youâve actually paid into however, goes by another name - theft by the firm!
