Are you taking the pi55??

imalwaysright

Ok folks, here's what happened.

Ive been a delivery driver in a chipper for the past 3 years. My shifts are Saturday night and Sunday night. I also have to wait around after work for about 40 minutes so the manager and staff can a lift to get the Luas. I dont get paid for this!!

Anyway, a couple of weeks ago my auntie died and I had to go down the country for a couple of days. I had to go on Friday and wasn't back til Tuesday. I rang the owner of the chipper and told him that i couldn't work that weekend because I had to go away to the funeral. That was grand until I was going into work the next weekend and found out that I had no shifts that weekend. After questioning them I was told that I had let them down by not working the last weekend (i was away at a funeral) and the owner was thinking about sacking me!!
I ended up losing out on 2 weeks money then.

Anyway I got my normal shifts back.
At half 10 last night (Saturday), the manager told me that I wasn't needed for the next night (Sunday) and that a different driver will be working instead!!
The manager was also telling me that this particular driver is awlays robbing money and he has to replace it so the owner wont find out!!
Anyway I got mad and told him what I thought of his ****ty little chipper and left him there with a few deliveries and no one to deliver them!

I cant afford not to be working as im starting back in college again tomorrow and also have a fiance and 3 year old child to look after!!

So my question is should I bite my tongue from now on and just do what shifts I get or should I go on a bit of a rampage, tell the owner that the other driver is robbing him blind, and see what happens!!

Something fishy going on here.

Nice to know who your friends are when the chips are down

I'm still waiting for those chips I ordered last night. They better not be fecking cold now!

Look for a new job,that one sounds like more trouble than it's worth.

Toby Take a Bow

Sounds like the guy is taking advantage of you, but it doesn't make any sense that he'd choose a guy who is robbing money over you.

I'd say there's something else happening here.

Sounds like your boss is a pr1ck, I reckon.

Have you insurance to use your car for deliveries?

Fcuk it your child doesn't really need to be fed and it's essentially free to put yourself through college. Tell the owner to go fcuk himself because nobody really needs money..especially someone going back to college with a kid to support!

Sounds like your boss has a chip on his shoulder!

I would be surprised if they let you back after leaving them like that.

I'd bite my tongue and get revenge by leaving the minute you stop getting paid for work. It's not your problem that staff don't have another means of transport.

Why, every time someone asks a question here do people slate the OP with silly "you're not so perfect yourself" comments. I did deliveries as a way to pay thru college on top of my other job, tell me you would declare your €50 a night to the taxman. Also, find me one delivery driver that doesn't work for a bigger company like Dominoes that has insurance to deliver stuff!

Big picture here:
Works for same place for 3 years.
Unfortunate death in the family.
Goes to funeral and comes back.
Thieving ****head replaces him.

Some sympathy wouldn't go amiss, or empathy even.....

Yes I have..

Just had it out with the owner on the phone.. I asked him why I was getting cut a shift instead of the other lad that already works 4 nights a week and is robbing him blind!! The answer I got was that it was his decision to do it that way!!

I asked him why was he trying to push me out and was told that he just wants to make changes!!

I did get an apology tho about not being told that my shift was canceled.

He then start telling me about the other lads letting him down the whole time and thats why I was getting fecked over. (I dont really understand that myself).
I'm the only one there that never refuses a nights work and doesn't be late or go home early (except for last night!!)

We had 2 drivers on a few weeks ago, Myself and another lad. I was in from 5 and the other lad came in at 6. He got paid his money straight away, Got his free food straight aswel and then at 7 said that he was going home and left. He basically went up to the chipper and got free money and food!! I was meant to be finishing at 10 but had to cancel my plans and ended up having to stay til the chipper closed and then had to wait around to drop the staff to the Luas. Nothing was ever said about that.

Bottom line now is that I will be looking for a new job?? Anyone looking for staff??

Boo ****ing hoo. Is that sympathy enough for you? He has a **** job and wanker boss. Welcome to life.

He said he works for a chipper. Most chippers don't have big insurance policies for their staff. it is usually up to the staff member to add working to their policy. $50 a night (+tips) 2 nights a week is over 5 grand a year tax free.That kind of undeclared income makes means testing social welfare completely useless.

BTW, working less than 15 hours doesn't mean i'm scamming the social welfare. I'm on back to education so im allowed to work those nights!!

I must have missed the bit where the OP specified that they were in receipt of means tested benefits or was earning enough to be eligible to pay income tax ?

I'd leave, and bring the principal bastard down on my way. I did that once and it was immensely satisfying. Bring him down and tell everyone you meet the story of your mistreatment. Never lose an opportunity to bad mouth them. What's the hygiene level like? Perhaps you could explain it in this form?

It's a tiny insignificant thing in the bigger scheme of your life, but you are being mistreated so don't go down without a fight. You'll find a replacement job soon enough if you knock on enough doors so don't worry too much about that. All the best.

Missing the point, I don't really want to argue about this. It might be "illegal" but I'm more about morals myself. It's pocket money work, not a flat 20k. €200 a night is very very optimistic for a delivery driver. People get away with legal stuff that is highly immoral and people get locket up for things that are illegal but not exactly causing harm to anyone. A lot of millionaires dodge tax daily, fact!

Again, big picture:
Working to pay through college, which I admire.
In college, which I admire.
Not paying a small tax on a small wage is not a problem for me.
This man is not a tax dodger, but report him if it's an issue for you

He is some manager if he encourages his staff to steal. He is obviously not trustworthy himself by allowing this to happen.

If you need the money that badly stick it out until you get something else.

Now that you mention the hygiene of the place, none of the people handling the food wear rubber gloves. A customer rang up recently to complain about insects in his food and wanted his money back so I dropped the money back and there were 3 earwigs in his pizza box. He had eaten a few slices and every time he move a slice of pizza, he saw another earwig!!

why would you want to work for a filthy disgusting place like this.
I would not want to be associated with it and you eat the food, knowing how filthy it is. says more about you than them really.
