That's a good rule. Fair and allows a bit of flexibility.
My rule is that they're allowed up to an hour of paid 'errand time' a month, but it can't be something they can do on their way home, IE, fill the car with petrol.
I'm not saying they were right in what they did, but it all depends on how the contract or employee handbook are worded. The manager may have been in a bad mood or under pressure from 'above' to clean things up a bit.
Some business seem to only follow the rules when they are having issues. Usually down to having to cut back on staff, or reduce costs. It may have just been a bad week when your friend got balled out.
Personally, I allow errands on company time, so long as it doesn't take any longer than an hour.
Ow, that sucks, but at least she has a new job, so not a total wipeout.
If the contract stated that personal errands were not to be completed in working hours, the company was within their rights.
Technically, it's hard to prove that she hadn't abandoned the worker she was assigned to, and went off to do her shopping elsewhere. That's what the company is seeing, and if they allow one person to get away with it, it may give the green light for others, who may push their luck.
Don't you remember your thread about marrying you posted only last week and it's insults?
I was surprised you didn't pull the "I don't understand English" trick, but wasn't surprised you didn't apologise when it was pointed out you were using a derogatory word. Oh no. You only went and used it again, besides knowing it was a word you shouldn't use.
Oh, let's not forget that you think it was OK for those terrorists to do what they did over the CH issue.
Now do you understand why I personally think you're not a nice person and that you should have included that as an option on your poll, rather than just seeking people to kiss your butt?
No, I doubt you do, as you seem to think the world revolves around you.
It was the safest word I could think of. Your behaviour shows people what you're actually like, yet you didn't give people the option to comment in that manner.
