You couldn't make it up!

Post by cyclemech1 »

Just seen an old colleague of mine who has told me that the 4 day walks at my old office now have a van each because they couldn't get all their walks in one van when they shared!

So now they have more vans (that they also let people take home) and the 4 dayers are finishing (most of the time) before the 5 day duties.

Modernisation = efficiency? I don't think so!

I don't want to name the office for obvious reasons but, from what I can gather, the 4 dayers who have individual vans are coming in early, not using trolley etc. as they can cut corners and have no partner to worry about.
