welshbairn Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 I enjoy my job and get paid well for it,but we can only do what we can.Saying that we have a new boss who was a driver years ago and seems decent and respects us. Makes a huge difference if your boss knows what you have to go through. Unfortunately if they know that they usually know the dodges, perks and excuses.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Surely the best thing is to have a company that plans and runs properly for the Christmas rush? Instead what you'll have is utter chaos and the management having no idea what so ever other than to hit people with a stick in order to get deliveries out. End result, everyone loses apart from the slippery sharks at the top. How many deliveries can we handle a day? 50? Okay last year at Xmas we have an average of 150 so let's not buy more vans or recruit more workers just fire 150 parcels in a van and see what happens.... Shit, the phones are going crazy with irate customers and the customer service personal are pissed off, the van drivers are pissed off and want to leave. Well if they want to leave then let them, there's plenty more people out there who will do it. Turns out if we bought the vans and new drivers then it would have probably been cheaper than retraining the new people and losing the business from annoyed customers but let's sweep that under the carpet.

DAFC Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 This is a common problem with many bosses or folk in management positions. Never actually done the job, no practical experience - 'learned' it all at Uni though... f**k right off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) Keith actually manages to collect and deliver parcels. I've seen him! City Link, however, are another matter altogether. Well, well, well. I hope you can sleep tonight, Mrs M. Edit: FFS, beaten to it, as usual.

BFTD Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 People that eat food and describe it as "beautiful" Just stop. That word describes how something looks not how it tastes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Mrs Shotgun says she bought a Terry's Chocolate Orange, which is what I traditionally eat for first breakfast on Christmas day. Problem is, she hid it so I wouldn't scoff it in advance. And now she can't remember where. Is there no end to my suffering? Just not on. Wives have lost their lives for less in this house. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 People that say "But" or. " So it is" At the end of sentences. 'But' is something I've picked up from living around here for so long. I don't know when it started, but it slowly grew like a cancer, and now I'm stuck with it, like a dangling haemorrhoid on my, but. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Just not on. Wives have lost their lives for less in this house. Agreeance. Fortunately, she found it before too long so bloodshed was avoided. She bought me some Oban whisky too so she isn't a bad lass really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 (edited) 'Treatments' that just make things worse / simply don't work. Got a case of ringworm (picked up from the swimming pool no doubt) and what were a few pink bits here and there have exploded into full dark red full foot cover since using the sprays and creams. Phone call to the GP inevitable. Nae sleep due to constant itching is the worst though. Edited December 27, 2014 by Hedgecutter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
