Righto, RANT MODE!!!
My job is really pissing me off at the moment, I take in deliveries for a well known UK high st shop, advertised by a sheep dog and sheep not saying any names, and one of the depots they come from is closing, now that's a problem cause all my deliveries are being shunted from one depot to another, to another before getting to me, usually short of stock.
Plus they are splitting the deliveries so I have to work my daily hours arund them,whci I understood when I took the job a few years back. One day I may start at 7.00, and the next it could be 14.00, and finish late, to then be in at 7.00 the next morning.
Generally I get a delivery estimate the day before it's due, telling whats coming and at roughly what time, but this has all gone to pot and I now have to ring to see what time and so on.
WEll this is the reason for the rant, I rang yesterday, and was told that the one and only delivery I was getting wasn't coming until 16.22, so my hours were changed to suit, with me starting at 13.00 and working late, I have just had a phone call from work and theres another delivery sitting waiting for me now (9.30), an overflow missing from last week.
What's pissed me off is there are folks there that can take it in, but they want me to walk for half an hour to work, pull the delivery in (which can take upto an hour), then walk half an hour home again to them walk half an hour back to work an hour later, and I've said no, much to thier disgust.
My hours were changed to suit the later delivery, by the boss, who is on her day off today, so the underling who thinks she's a mini me boss, doesn't want to dirty her hands bringing in the delivery, she's even asked the driver to wait for me to walk down.
I also have to sort the deliveries once I have them in, so basically I have said that if I come in now, and take this one in, which I will have to sort once I start at 13.00, then I will only be able to pull the other on in when it comes, and not sort it too, which as usual there's no one to cover me for that either.
Talk about taking the piss!
