dozy mate, As you say ‘‘You do bloody wonder sometimes’’
Didn’t you tell us that you were on your last warning for slagging off the co on forums.
You’ll be on a ‘special’ disciplinary tomorrow, which will involve Andy and Will dressed in suspenders, an orange, a noose and a jar of Vaseline. Good luck with that mate

They can’t sack you rob for telling the truth ( maybe they need to know the bloody idiots in the t.o arnt bright enough to take your times for the week off ISO- trac,time sheet ) ,and feel the need to waste time / money on a phone call to get it personally from the driver ,though I guess with the umpteenth request for can you help us out with a o/time shift ending the conversation ,it may well be the phone call was just a excuse to ask again ,but same result ,NO

think I would be dropping a text and refusing to answer any further calls.

Problem with all the so called ‘Blue Chips’ is that they don’t do joined up thinking.

Far too many admin staff, none of who could admin their own shoe laces, only interested in their own bits of paper, and can’t think outside the box, or think to communicate with each other.

I have been stood in a traffic office listening to 2 people - 3 desks apart, discussing the same trailer, One has it on a bay - don’t know what to do with it,
The other guy frantically trying to find it

You couldn’t make it up !!!

Ive had similar from my corporate genius’s. Got a text this morning saying I need to inform them when my DQC card expires. Now they have only photocopied the thing 3 times for their records. Once to prove ive got one, 2nd time to confirm ive got one and 3rd time for the sake of it.

I have replied to the text thus… “I dont have a DQC card is it important”.
3 missed calls from HQ and counting.

I do regular work for 2 different depots of the same firm, and occasional shifts for some other depots,
The procedure should be the same across the board, but it is like working for different companies.
I am turning into Victor Meldrew, I know it. I say - Look, I am not against procedures, rules & regulations, but ffs make them sensible & appropriate.

One depot make it a hanging offence to leave the place without a seal on an empty trailer,
Another give us the keys & say let yourself in, when you get back, take the seals off, open the doors, back on the bay, lock the gates & f.off

At one depot they make a big fuss of photocopy your licence, DQC, Digi card, fill in a declaration, have a photo taken of you (it is on the above cards - and we work for you every week?) sign for keys etc… etc…

BUT… they only copy them & put them in a ring binder - they don’t actually check them - the office numpties that take the copies do not understand the categories anyway - my mate was having his licence copied for 5 months before he realised it had expired.

Now that did make me laugh, and I like it a lot!
Just the sort of thing I’d like to say if i wasn’t a Newbie…

Unfortunately they can sack you if they really wanted and went through the correct procedure to do so, yours or any company can sack you for talking in derogatory terms on forums, social media such as Facebook, twitter etc. - it would come under “bringing the company into disrepute”. Whether you were telling the truth or not, speaking your mind or actually stating facts would be irrelevant.

I know someone that did get the sack because of what hecsaid on facebook.

[the_maoster]

There’s a fella who lives in an embassy in London who reckons he can put whatever he likes on social media. Not going too well for him right now though.

I agree mate, sounds lovely to me too. Don’t reckon the inhabitant of the embassy will ever get to see it though, I reckon the second he steps out of the doors his chest and head will resemble a red dot to dot picture!
