Our office is having a delivery methods revision after Christmas and we have all been asked if we want to drive for RM. I have a nasty feeling that our drivers are going to be messed about. We don't have many drivers in our office and knowing the way our managers work, I can see them being constantly moved to cover duties for annual leave and sick.
How has being a driver worked for you? What happened to people that refused to drive?

Re: To drive or not to drive?
Well I wasn't going to be a driver. But when it came to a resign if I was a non-driver it would have really restricted my choice of walks as if a non-driver had already signed for one walk in a pairing I couldn't sign for the other walk, as there had to be at least one driver in each pair.
Being the drivers not so bad, not any worse than being the non-driver anyway!

I appreciate that non-drivers end up with less of pick, but I can see nothing but heart ache for those that pick driving and reading a few post's on here seems to confirm that.

If you pick a passenger duty you'll more than likely end up driving at some point anyway - happens all the time in our office with lots still using their own cars.

That is the question, whether it be nobler in the mind to suffer bullying and harassment
