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?

If you live in Upminster, book on in Upminster, but are suddenly told
your new booking-on point is Heathrow, do the extra three hours you're

of your working day? If not, then it's not too hard to see why it
might make people grumpy.

If your employer mandates that you don't work from the local deport, but
start work at 5am the other side of London, why shouldn't it?

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