Nirvana.
Not like the state of being free from suffering,the imperturbable stillness of mind after the fires of desire, aversion, and delusion have been finally extinguished
Like the band Nirvana...not as good as people like to think they were. :cuppa
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Before P&L i could work at my own pace not restricted by my 'partner'. I used to finish 2.5/3 hours early every day. I could either go home or start overtime. I used to do another deliver some days and still finish early. My weekly take home pay was around £500. Now i work longer for £300 take home. P&L has been a total disaster for me.

If people come on here saying Park and Loop is great and it works we can only identify these as managers who is trying to get the word out that everything is fine, its not fine its a total disaster now we have guys in my office one nips out on his 40 min break doing packets and he leaves his partner prepping the manager goes around saying to others then "Jon and Joe can do it why can't you finish"

It wasn't perfection before P&L, but the best thing in hindsight was the freedom once out on delivery. My driver and I get on well but we'd still just rather go off on our own at our own paces. My more senior colleagues look back even further to the golden days of the second delivery. For new starts P&L is better than being dumped alone on the streets with a printout from Google Maps if they were lucky.
The machine stops.
