To be fair it’s his manager telling him to do it!

and that's why we need to get rid of 2,000 of them. Too many managers with not enough real work to do

Next they will insist we can’t drive with the seatbelt plugged in behind us to stop the beeping.

Its a basic thing you never start a car without checking if its in gear no matter how much a hurry you are in.

I was taught the same, always leave it in gear. If someone doesn’t check it’s in gear before starting the engine then it doesn’t say much for their awareness - I don’t care how much of a rush they are in...I mean, what next, forgot to put seatbelt on, forgot to look both ways at a junction etc.

does seem strange that they would do you for not putting it in gear on but not for leaving rubbish in it, leaving mail in it, leaving bags,trays,elastic bands and trolleys in it and leaving the passengers seat belt fixed in the drivers side, whoa but all hell will be unleashed if you dont put it in gear.
