davis6110 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Dont know if anyone hates their boss as much as i do but he is really being awkward at the moment, i am an accountant and we have a container where we keep files the other side of town about 3.5 miles away through the centre of a usually busy town, he never used to make me go get stuff from there back when i had my citroen someone else used to get the job and the nice 45p per mile expenses for using their own car, now that i have my supra he finds the need to make me go, now 3.5 miles there and 3.5 miles back gives me £3.15 expenses through the centre of a busy town, with the rising fuel price and the supra not being too good on fuel around town and the running costs of it i think he's taking the piss a bit making me go all the time. Anyone else have such an annoying boss ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davis6110 Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 I know it just annoys me, what would you say my supra would be doing around town roughly ? about 15mpg, so if i do 15 miles i would get £6.75 but a gollon of the gold dust is rougly that anyway.

davis6110 Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 Funny you should say that because i am risking it abit due to the fact my insurance actually is only SD&P because i walk to work every day as its a 5min walk so i dont mind even in the rain, i only use the supra at weekends and nights. I didnt even think about that to be honest until you just said. Thanks for reminding me. Im going to stick him with that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davis6110 Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 Does he make you walk home to get the car to go across town?! He sure does or tells me to bring it back when i come back from lunch which means leaving it in a car park for the rest of the afternoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if you didn't own a car?! Did your job advertisement say you had to have access to a vehicle for business use? If not I would ask him to provide a company car for travelling to this container, or alternatively get stuffed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope it didnt, he knows im doing little bits to my supra at the moment so when he asks im just going to say, its got the wheels off at the moment for a refurb, and each time he asks i'll find a new repair, should be fun see how many i can come up with haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lbm Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Good luck sorting it out. I would say the insurance issue is the way forward I have an outstanding boss. I've worked for him for over 25 years. He's witty, pays good rates and let's me have quite a bit of time off when I need it. Oh...and he never asks me to do anything he wouldn't do.
