Reply to: Contractor's car park @ Vodafone Newbury HQ..??

Does the OP need help with shoelace tying, too? FFS!

Nope I hate shoes with laces so that is not a problem.

That's right.

Coming soon - where best to buy envelopes? And a thread about how to correctly account for £2 placed in said envelope and posted through the door of a social club.

Presumably a thread about how to obtain a VAT receipt for said £2 parking fee.

Coincidence?

I'll just park this link here and let you decide

Where are the stats for disguised employee car parking arrangements satisfaction?

Used to live in shaw. 30 years mind before Vodaphone was even built there....

You don't happen to still have a resident's parking permit, do you?

With a bit of luck, Vodafone take on low grade BAU contractors as well, and then he can queue up with PC, so they can work these problems out between them.

The big picture is that since Darren started, Vodafone have decided to shed jobs in Newbury and relocate some to London and Manchester.

... can't wait for Darren to ask about parking near Paddington station

'Jobs'? What is that to with genuine independent contractors such as Darren?

[WTFH]

Car parking arrangements are an important part of a contract, affecting both travelling time and profitability. I am concerned that if this thread were moved to General, it may deteriorate, and we would lose sight of the big picture.

Corn Exchange (round the back of my solicitors, the ones who managed to get an agent who was trying to defraud my company to cough up a lot + 14 months of fees)

Car parking fees?

BTW, just realised that this thread was in the professional forums.
Professional forums are for professional stuff. This belongs in General.

Does anyone know what the Vodafone disguised employee grievance procedure is?

Just merging Darren's threads about how to park a car, in the hope that it makes it easier for him to find where he parked the last thread on the topic.

My thought:
Darren, if you're really upset about contractors definitely breaking car parking rules, why not report their registration numbers to HR and let the company deal with it themselves.
