Re: van sharing and you dont want ot
If i don't want to go over, I wont. I'm in the driving seat (literally)
, my pairing has no say in the matter...unless he wants to walk back to the office

Re: van sharing and you dont want ot
Not exactly in the spirit of things. Your partner should arrange a lift back by management and/ or be provided the compensation to get back. Neither of you should be out of pocket or have to walk, for your legitimate decision. You seem a little too pleased for yourself to have this power.Terry Butcher wrote:If i don't want to go over, I wont.

On the flip side if you were my partner I would wait for you to cut off first and get the hassle. Works both ways I guess

And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one

Re: van sharing and you dont want ot
Also, what if you want OT and your pairing does not. I understand you would be expected to drive them back and commence delivery. Or you are paired with someone with different finish times. It's very open to debate.

Re: van sharing and you dont want ot
This question was raised in our office about this before the revision kicked off. The procedure in our office is this...if your partner wants to work past his or her time and you don't then either you or your partner has to drive back to the office.
Now i'm not sure what would happen if your partner couldn't drive and he/she wanted to go back out and deliver more. Every office will be different so i would confirm with your dom what the procedure would be before heading out the door.

Your entitled to a lift so why get a bus, and why be happy about it??

At LEAST get your bus money refunded and CLAIM until you arrive back at DO. Personally I would ask for a lift back by RM vehicle.speedy wrote:Jobs a good one???mdm wrote:thats my situation, i don't do o/t so what we do is i leave my loop in the office (lm takes it out, hehe), my partner leaves his part of that loop until the end, and instead of taking me back to the office i get the bus home. jobs a good one!peedofpostie wrote:what happens with this van sharing when i drive out and dont want to do ot but my mate does how do we sort that out keep asking but ive never had an answer yet

If you want to work over and your partner doesn't you and your partner have to return to the D.O. for their finishing time then arrangements are made for you to re-commence your delivery.

You have f**k all say in it at all.
You're just a glorified taxi driver...."driving seat" ffs.

Re: van sharing and you dont want ot
Totally correct. Problem is because he drives he feels he has some sort of misguided seniority in the matter. This would force partner B to either approach a manager about the situation and make working together thereon difficult or just live with it. Thats where the 'power' actually comes from, the scourge of 'an easy life'.
Dontya love shared vans!
