getting crazy

Post by korky »

got back 25 mins early today, then told to take some mail out off one of a few duties left in,
by the time i'd chucked my returns back in i was told i still have to go back out, 20 minute round trip, but must go out, so i had to drive 4/5 miles to turn back without delivering a thing which i told them before i left that i wont post anything,
now i know they can now officially say the mail went out, but this is just taking the piss,
costs the shareholders more in fuel and profits reduced but the figures look good, wankas
also pda had umpteen unsent items but my time was up to explain, hope the battery died and they all fail.

At least the manager was consistent.
They were a twat until the end of the day, and still clueless.

Why did they not go out with some mail?

Tell him you have to take a dump, ask him if he makes up the time he takes for toilets 'breaks' if you get any back-chat, and include his canteen breaks in the statement as well.
If he says that doesn;t take 25mins, tell him you had a dodgy curry and you'll gladly save some evidence for his perusal!

ha! the whole thing is laughable is it not?with the dom in control of a computer anything is possible,as a failed office is too much to explain away no doubt.??.it happens everyday,you see what goes on but to question it isn't worth the hasstle,just store it til you need to fire it one day.very laughable but very sad as well.

all were told (apart from the flyers & some had left before i'd even started) if they're back early then be back out delivering, so no, they knew it wasn't covered, and more than 1 duty.
considering we walked into double bubble to a row of our duty, we stepped up a gear to get it completed,
getting done 20 mins early was good going, and didn't expect to be sent back out with a 20 minute drive.
saying that, a few took it out in their cars if they lived nearby!
