Mungler Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Don't listen to these lot. The time for 'talking' has passed. It's time to let your fists do the talking. As your disciplinary meeting, just imagine your boss / supervisor is the arch villain Joker, the person taking the notes a henchman.... and you are batman from the 60's show. Kerpow, thwack and bzam.

The simple fact is all bosses are stupid and are trying to leg you over. I've had it for years. Just laugh in their faces and when they inevitably get ***** smack one (or all) of them.

Asa Bear Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 I would ordinarily agree with Mungler as he's the legal eagle but it look like he's been on the sauce! Good luck and let us know how you get on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 The postal service in this country is rife with twonks who don't give a flying fig. 2 weeks ago.a Neighbour sent his Amature radio set away to be sorted and it arrived in so many bits you would think it went under a truck. £4000 claim against the post office now. I have had stuff delivered in bubble wrap so thick it would be nigh impossible to have damaged the contents, but low and behold the corner of the box is dented and split and the contents broken. My rifle the actually managed to bend the barrel ROUND the air chamber 50 degrees. I recently had some lead shot delivered and EVERY container was smashed. I have seen the post service at work emptying the vans into the hubs and I can tell you they dont carry and place them down They THROW the stuff into cages and drag the big ones. Then you watch their ex racing car driver van drivers who wheel spin away from junctions and hard braking at give way markings and each time you hear the parcels clattering in the back. They have to be one of the most inconsiderate bunch of spam javelin jugglers I have ever seen left in charge of other peoples propperty.

four-wheel-drive Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 There you go as the saying goes it was a storm in a teacup in the end people just do nor realise the stress that they put people under having to wait so long when all that it took was a 30 second talk to you to sort the problem out or perhaps they do and they wanted you to suffer.

Gordon R Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Mikky - glad it worked out okay. You gave your side reasonably and your boss listened / accepted what you said. Just how it should be. :good: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imperfection Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 A rule of thumb with any courier company is never place 'fragile' stickers on the package as all this does is encourage the muppets in the various hubs to throw them around (various couriers have told me this over the years).

ME Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Next time put a whoopee cushion on your bosses chair and tell him you Facebooked his missus. This will always lighten the mood and make for a sure fire get out of jail card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ME Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Sounds like they don't have adequate insurance to me.... Most companies shipping stuff don't. Insurance is seen as an unnecessary cost... until something gets dropped / lost / stolen. We make all customers complete a freight booking online and they tick a box to confirm that they understand our standard insurance liability and from there they opt in or out of full freight insurance. We offered a customer freight insurance on his shipment six weeks ago before we collected it and he declined. The shipment was signed clean (i.e. without comment) at the delivery point and this week (after six weeks!) he has emailed saying that the shipment was damaged and bits of his shipment (a car engine!) were taken. Everyone loves a trier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
