He left the van unattended yet again today causing me to be 15 minutes behind on my loop to stay with it. (Couldve walked off but wanted to save my ass) and didn't seem apologetic when I explained yet again the importance of it. You wouldn't leave your car open and running whilst you went in to do a weekly shop!
I'd have taken the key out of the van, locked it and got on with my loop - if he had to wait for you to get back tough!!

I'm so glad I'm on a singleton van duty, the stress and problems I've seen with this p&l crap is unreal!!

It will soon get flagged up when the daily collection box fails or when customers complain.
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.

If he left a van running with the keys in that's an open invite for a joyrider or the like and potentially fatal consquences for someone. That's enough for me to leave the playground morals against grassing behind.

That plus the guy seemingly has no respect for other people, their circumstances or their property.

On Friday the court was told a postman was delivering letters in the Charterhouse area and left his vehicle unlocked.
“You saw it was closed but it was unlocked and Mr Pitt [the postman] lost his job as a result of the theft.
Tara Lightfoot, the mother-of-two and the other driver involved in the incident, reported seeing the van coming towards her travelling ‘too fast to stay on the right side of the road’.


The court was told she was unable to avoid the crash because the van was travelling ‘too fast’.

Her air bag opened, her two children Jake and Mia were ‘screaming’ and her car filled with smoke inside.

One side of the story.
How do we know what's went down.
Why ask our advice?

That's not playground morals, it's common sense.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

"Playground antics" and "grassing" aside, I've spoken to the DOM and he's on the 3 c's now due to not collecting boxes, customer complaints etc etc. I feel it's a shame as I know how daunting it can be starting a new job in RM. But, hopefully a kick up the bum will help and if not, then he ain't gonna be around long to add to the Xmas mayhem!
