Security checks on casuals

Post by mailjock »

Wonder if any security checks or clearance has been done on the casuals - Still no doubt we'll know if the loss complaints come flooding in.

personally I couldn't give a toss about backlogs and how much they wanna push thru each day . . . . coz I'm doing the hours I'm paid for, at the speed I'm safe at, and following my duty instructions to the letter, then going home at my specified time . . . . finished or not

it's down to the screws to worry and panic about backlogs, not us :so there

I SAID WELL YOU HAVE GOT TO UNDERSTAND NOBODY IN HERE AT MOMENT WEARS SEATS BELT OR LOCKS DOORS ALL THE TIME SO YOU HAVE GOT TO TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION. HE DIDN'T LIKE IT AND SAID-----OH IT WILL AND THEN HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY AND F*****D OFF BACK INDOORS.

VIGILANTE no you are write to question such a program geo route takes nothing into consideration and has not even the ability to split postcodes hence making the rurals very difficult to work him sayining such things its obivious to me hehas never even opened up the program put it to him, even the area leads in most ares have little or no knowledge of gea route let alone impliment it into delivery offices.
