Well it just gets better with this chap.
He is now wanting a two holiday this coming April to go away with his partner, well we have a policy at work first come first served and those weeks we have are up to the limit so he cannot have it.
This bloke does not understand , but remember he was a foreman at our place for years so he knows the rules. " why cant i have those weeks" he asked, look you cant have them there are too many off, that's it.
He went further up the ladder to see if he can have those weeks but it came back to me to see what i think, "NO" simple.
Again he will not give up.
Last week he said he is going to make a official complaint about how i am treating him, and he still wants his holiday, well no complaint yet i am told by the owners .
Well the other day he called the depot and i answered "I want a day of this week or i need to go on another run ", WE ARE SO SHORT STAFF I DONT THINK I CAN GIVE YOU A DAY OFF I SAID. I need it i am going for a interview for a new job.
It seems now he has got this new job and if we dont give him his holiday he is giving his notice in, this bloke is a tw-t.
The owner has asked again for my thoughts on this, "get rid of him now i said" , this will keep on happening again and again, well it seems he is not being allowed the holiday and we are expecting his notice ASAP.
I do hope he was not thinking of calling our bluff on this and he may have thought we could not afford to lose him, but he is not part of a team and the sooner he knows the better.
