Why? Surely you're just paid to drive trains , not quibble about where
FFS. As long as you're trained on the stock and taxis are provided to/
from home late/early in the day whats the problem?

Is the commute in your proposal part of the working day?

Huh?

A free taxi is one thing, but riding in it in your own time is another.


Well, see in the real world commuting isn't part of the working day. My
working day starts at 9am. That means I have to be at my desk at 9am ,
not getting out of bed at 9am. The commuting is something I have to do
to get to work. I'm sorry if the poor darlings at LU have an issue with
having to do the same but it seems to me thats a case of tough ****.


I live in Watford and took a job in Stevenage. A week into the job they
told me to go to the office in Portsmouth. They considerately provided a
car and paid for petrol but after a month they realised it would be
cheaper not to provide the car and that I would use my car but only get
milage up to the equiavalent of getting a hire car. Now some LU staff
are belly aching about relocating to other places within London for
God's sake, whingers.


Why didn't you quit the job and get one that doesn't involve working for
cocks?
