but cuts too many corners, no mechanical sympathy, averages 2 days off a week since he's been here, he's had 46 so far this year, and every time he's up for a disciplinary, he's off sick, was supposed to go to head office, he's off sick, they were going to come down, he's off sick, they planned to come down, he's off sick, untold private usage of the van, does the drops he wants and then finds an excuse to go home, never signs any paperwork that's come down for him, etc
case number two:
comes to work and does his job
always an hour late, the other day it was 2 hours late, always got an excuse as to why he shouldn't do anything, was the guy who didn't know about ramadan the other day until the day before, another one who breaks the van on a regular basis, another one who won't sign any paperwork, putting down extra hours on his time sheet, in some cases these have been upwards of 2 hours a day, won't go back to drops, alwaya argues when he's been caught point blank, another one for unauthorised mileage, but not to the same extent as number 1, always got a hard luck story if all else fails, and none of these stories match the other stories he tells as he tells different ones to everyone who asks him, etc
the time sheet errors have been there for ages as not only are the vehicles tracked, we've got a temprature trace moniter in all the vans and a print out for the temps so when he puts down that he's started work at 6.45 and yet his van hasn't started until 7.45 and he prints out at the end of the day an hour before the time he puts down, it's fairly easy to catch that in black and white, it's so easy that the warnings get issued to everyone in the department who's got a computer, and there are 120 of us so easier to prove and impossible to cheat
i could go on but you get the point
we had one guy who went up to head office to have a drug test, then said that they were too busy and came back again
or the guy who was caught videoing his drug deals on the company phone
yeah, we get them all
