In our resign prior to P & L, duties were paired up and if a non-driver signed for one pairing only a driver could sign for the other walk in the pairing.

Obviously this pissed off alot of people because despite the resign being done on seniority, some people couldn't sign for thier chosen walks unless they did the changeover to drive because a senior non-driver had got into the pairing first!


Hope that makes sense?!

Well I was a non-driver and adamant I wanted to stay a non-driver..... but the only choice of walks left for non-drivers were complete poop so I did the changeover. Still ended up with a bad walk but not as bad as I would of had.

If you can put up with less of a choice then go for it! :wink:

So....what does your manager intend to do with the non-drivers in your office?
