Your decision....your safety is paramount.....accidents will not be tolerated.....etc etc

Blah blah blah

Always the same.

I can remember when you were told to do your best and be careful....
Now, claw back, conduct code, your decision.......
And the manager would not go home until the last postie was in safe and sound!

And the manager would not go home until the last postie was in safe and sound!

Any company I have ever worked for the Manager (usually me) would never even think about leaving until the last driver came back (16 hours was longest wait).
It's tough out there and front-line workers need to know they have support from above.

Monday our oik walks through the middle of the frames muttering, then turns round at the far end and asks 'Did everyone hear that' WtF!! This is management!!

One of our combi vans has had a broken window screen heater for ages and it was -5 this morning and the driver refused to go out in it .
The DOM tried to get him to go out by giving him a scraper
Management havent got a clue

We have the latest of ridiculous H+S notices gone up on the notice board. A picture of a customers house with snow slipping off the roof. Now we are supposed to look up at peoples roofs and if the snow on them looks like its about to slide off and bury you then you are not to enter the forecourt.

I mean who makes this load of tosh up

That's only common sense.
If a large section of snow slides off the roof it might take the cast iron guttering with it.
You really don't want to be hit on the head by a 3 foot length of cast iron guttering falling from 30 feet,it would smart a little.

Had a lady throw open the upstairs window and send several feet of icicles crashing down on my hooded, beanied head last year..
so, as you should know by now, anything can happen.. and probably will..
colleagues out on cover, makin' like Tigger across peoples gardens and crashing through frozen ponds..
Arse Over Tit the other day on a smooth (as in custom-made, tw*t) man-hole cover at someone's front door.. .

A foot of snow forecast for my area. No way I'll get the car out where I live so looking forward to the walk..

Doing the rounds on Twitter...

Opened my door to three inches this morning. Told the postman to pull his trousers up and I also complained to Royal Mail.
