Re: 1st day not using my car
your manager should never of let you leave the office on a bike without a helmet you can be conduct coded for not wearing a helmet and your manager will say he knew nothing about it you should refuse to ride a bike without a helmet at the end of the day its down to you

I think he is aware of that. Manager refused to give him a bike till the helmet arrives, and the manager took him out (presumably in his car) and he walked back to the office. Good points though if you are using a bike.billyboy123 wrote:your manager should never of let you leave the office on a bike without a helmet you can be conduct coded for not wearing a helmet and your manager will say he knew nothing about it you should refuse to ride a bike without a helmet at the end of the day its down to you

No but you have to be prepared for the fact that it will make you a target and any genuine mistake you make or any dodgy practice will probably be jumped on by management so the real answer to your question has anybody been sacked for doing the job properly would be not directly but i'm sure it's been the underlying motivation in a few conduct cases.
I suppose the message is if you are going to do the job properly make sure you do the whole thing properly,not just the bits that suit you.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

If you are on a fixed term contract unfortunately your manager will have the last laugh, if he is a vindictive bastard, which again unfortunately many of them are.
