Company vans and trackers

garydon · 25th August 2011, 03:24 PM

Anyone got this carry on? We aren't allowed to use the van for personal use, but I get by mostly. I call in for my weekly shopping etc., but obviously I can't go places at weekends. But I'm off at the moment, and they have taken it back for others to use, so it's a headache at the minute. Totally reliant on friends/family to help me out.
Big Brother bastards.

I know how it feels from the other side. My lot are constantly trying to piss off home on their forklift trucks

Try a large powerful magnet next to the sender unit, but I didn't tell you.

It's only 15 years until you can get a bus pass.

Ask Siddal for a lift when you need to go anywhere.

Change jobs then shit in the glove compartment when you hand it back.

The retirement age will be gone up by then

Do you pay benefit in kind tax on the van?

I know it's for cheaper insurance for the company, but they watch us, alright. It doesn't bother me for timekeeping etc., as I'm always early, but feel a bit like I'm tagged at times.

I'm in the process of pursuing the former, will stock up on the latter.
