Driving Licence Checks

Post by Stormproof »

We have our licences checked every 6 months, yesterday the LM came round and asked me to check and sign a form which is to be sent off to the DVLA for checks, is this happening everywhere or just my office? I wonder what cock ups RM have made this time, last time it was letting new drivers drive the large crew buses which according to their licences they were'nt entitled to, RM's answer to this was to take a couple of rows of seats out :roll:
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

They won't contact the DVLA because it costs too much :chuckle I really think that they (the management) have no idea what they're doing and just blunder from one f*** up to the next.

This happened at my place.......................................5 years ago. :crazy:

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

I've never had my driving license checked or even been asked if I possess one. :Very Happy

Ive never been asked for mine either I dont think. But I did get asked for my passport when Id worked for RM over 2 years. :shock: Never got told why just got told by a manager that she had to do it and other people had to as well which I think was bullshit. Had to send it off for someone to look at it then it came back. Anyone know why they would want to do this? :hmmmm
