We were told the working bundle can be in the glove box. But with all the other crap we got in the glove box including PDA its not worth trying to fit it in. Work from the rear of van and if it makes you late then claim overtime or tell them before you leave office you'll be unable to complete delivery.

tried it in our office as well, we made our idiot manager show how we could do it, so out he goes , gets a van and call's all the lads out, he then demonstrates how it could be done, ha ha :nana :nana :nana :nana , but it's only some area manager's stating this, and we were told if you left the bundle in the front while delivering, we could get the sack, so to be safe we are all still working from the back, :nana :nana :nana :nana :nana :nana

Yes, do the job properly and watch how much longer the job then takes, I'm taking 6+hours to do a job that RM says should take 4½ but they can't fault me on anything......................................I suppose they'll try again soon. :roll:

Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun.
And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one

Your job should have been tested this way in the first place at some point so there must be time allowed for this practice. If you get caught otherwise this'll be the first thing they throw at you.
