They want you to go home early on light days so on heavy days they can say you went home an hour and a half early tuesday so i expect you
to complete and not book on eg thursday, that is the ideal scenario for them "Happens a lot actually" I dont believe its a trade unions job to protect
peoples spare time within their duty time especially when jobs are scarce. It plays into the hands of savings motivated managers and dare I say it profit
mongering external firms. Wanting to go home early, be careful what you wish for!!

If the driver has to go off route in order to drop his colleague off, he is going to find himself in deep s**t if he has an accident.
Has the DOM put this agreed arrangement in writing to cover everyone's back?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Surely van share or park and loop is a TWO man/woman job, TWO people should return to the office to sort out returns etc. Why should one person get their feet up earlier than the other every day. :cuppa

The whole van share thing just doesnt work IMO. Our walks are now too big to complete on time so a lot of people come in early to finish on time yet dont claim which obviously the manager loves. What doesnt go down well is when im covering on float and i wont come in early or work over for free, in fact i dont work over at all yet every day they ask if i will.

Because even the returning drivers don't sign out and only half the people in the office seem to bother signing-in in the first place. :roll:
The machine stops.
