I think it's up to the employee. If he's going to get a p45 he's probably received warnings to clean up his act - possibly sent on courses too - so it's more likely that he's chosen not to listen to the warnings.Originally Posted by rinkidinkron
Imagine some old dear got him next week and he broke her bone china - you stopped that happeningwell done.
mucus ardour urban mr men turnip!
The Parcel Force bloke that comes to me is rubbish as well. I've had to have words before.
And I had to sue senditquick.com for destroying a cab that Botfield had bought from me, then refusing to inspect, then refusing to comply with their own claims procedure.
I won, but if I hadn't been a lawyer and known how to deal with the problems they kept causing it would have been much too expensive to do.
The Reverend Lord Henry was not one of those new-fangled parsons who carry the principles of their vocation uncomfortably into private life.
If a man and a woman lawyer got it together do you think they would ever threaten to sue each other in the bedroom as a form of foreplay?

A HDL driver recently dropped off a large package, and when I say dropped I mean it literally. He was holding it chest high when I opened the door and he just let it go onto the hall floor
I was f#cking livid as even tho' it was only a bulk buy of cat food, it could have been fragile and told him so, The cnut told me he knew it was only cat food as "the crappy box had burst and they'd seen the contents"
I made the tw#t wait till I'd counted every pouch and.tin of food before I signed for it.
One of our DHL drivers is a wanker - I was about to reverse into my parking space the other day (where my space is it requires starting the reversing about 4m away) and he absolutely thrashed his truck to get it in the way before I could park - he was reversing across the car park at over 20mph. He immediately jumped out and started lowering the lift on the back.
Our warehouse manager let him open the doors and ride the lfit back up before telling him to move the truck. He wasn't pleased.
I've generally found Citylink ok, especially since their depot moved even closer to my house and gained a proper little customer reception bit.
FedEx were my worst experience - they give you a postcode that's on the wrong side of the industrial estate, with a permanently locked gate in the way. Then when you finally work out the 2-mile round trip to get to the main entrance they try to ignore you before spending 10 minutes wandering around chatting with each other and finally coming back to give you your parcel which was right behind the counter...
You're with stupid. ▲
Same here, after my one and only experience of them I'll never buy from anywhere that uses them as couriers.
I'd ordered some software from the US which found it's way as far as London without a hitch, even got as far as Manchester, about an hours drive from my house, before it suudenly vanished. The tracking # was useless, so cue several phonecalls to try and find out what had happened, they eventually tracked it down to, IIRC, their Leeds depot, tho' just what the f#ck it was doing there is anyones guess.
It eventually arrived and after another phonecall to Fedex, I was told that, as a gesture of goodwill for it having been lost, all import duties would be waived. I was happy to accept, but two months later got a bill from them threatening legal action if I didn't settle up immediately
Cue another phonecall to point out their offer of waiving the fee, only to be told, even tho' I had the name of the rep who'd made the offer, that she'd said no such thing and had no power to do so in the first place. Ok, I should have made sure I got the offer in writing, but the rep surely didn't say the fee would be waived off her own bat, she must have asked a superior and been told to say so.
In my last job I liaised quite closely with all the Citylink people from the drivers to the girls on the phone to the higher up people. I also spoke to a lot of drivers from other delivery companies. There was some really awesome people working for them all. We had one Citylink drivers who was well into his electronica so we would chat about that and swap CDs (I got him into Susumu Yokota and Cinematic Orchestra). There was another guy, a mad Italian guy who was great. It seemed to be the older guys and the younger more intelligent guys who new they wouldnt be doing it forever who were the best at it.
Generally though I find the people who rock up to my doorstep for deliveries now to be a bit surly. It must be a bit disheartening and unrewarding to drive around all day on your own. Theyre not bad at their job, you just wouldnt invite them to a party.
Unless its affecting you drastically over a long period of time I find the best thing to do is enjoy the shitness of shit people. Someone who clearly hates their job and all human life is a beautiful thing to behold.

It had to happen, didn't it! The recipient of the amp has e-mailed me to say one of the valves is smashed and is wanting compensated. Isn't life fun!
Foolishly decided to use Citylink through Interparcel again and was totally flabbergasted when the guy i had all the aggro with and who the Carlisle branch manager had informed me me was going to be sacked, turned up to uplift the item.
Un.....friggin believable!!
I have totally lost faith in Citylink and will never use them again, shocking!!!!
