doing p&l with a bloke who, like me, is part time. he's getting some ot for coming in early to double-prep the frames (the usual incumbent is on holiday), and the cheeky bugger wants me to come in early (unpaid) to help out, and to stay late (unpaid) to prep the d2ds because he's earning yet more ot delivering some extra stuff.
not only does he fail to understand that he might be coming across as a piss taker

, but he's also fallen for the output of the office bullshitter and accordingly thinks only the person who collects the keys from the locker can drive the van

, and that there's a 'trial period' that you risk being put 'back' on, if you're not up to the job

(this gem came after explaining that by coming in early, unpaid, all i would be doing was doing us out of any overtime we might have earned by finishing after time). this came from the same office bullshitter who has, in his time also tried to get me to believe that if you are slow prepping, your p&l partner can go out on his/her own and leave you

and that you're not allowed to leave d2ds in the frame even if there's no addressed mail (a practice universal in our office) if it happens to be on
his frame on his day off…
if partner f***s about tomorrow, rather than try and do the job in the efficient way the usual person and i do, on wednesday i'm going to let him do it by the book and he can take the van and do
all the parcels, even though i'm faster than he and we get back to the van at the same time, despite his smaller load (usual practice is for us to decide who's likely to finish each loop first and allocate the van accordingly).
