Hello back on site after a long spell away
An up date from myself..... Van Share has worked well and I have had a good working spell with a few guys ......but then you get someone who spoils it.....you help them etc but oh it is to much for some ...that is when you need the right person with you to have a happy working relationship, after all it is about enjoying your days work and so you need the right partner in doing so.......BUT so could management think different and just give you anyone when it suits them.... then you do not know who you are working with , they do not know the delivery route so you work harder and do more to help the other person get your duty done in time.....You try and explain to management but they do not listen.......No.....
It seems that they want a full timer to have a part timer or casual to work together.......working pal's not allow to work together.....
Are you having this problem in your office ?
I have been doing P & L now since June. I was displaced when the new system came in so I have become 'spare'. I have worked with quite a few different people during the time, luckily we all got on. Although everyone seems to adopt their different system and habits it all worked out. However, the rounds are too big. Planners even came out with us, followed us EVERYWHERE, timed us. We did everything by the book, ran like clockwork.
Result- 2 loops left in the office and still 55 minutes over......
