Hopefully you may have some advice on a tricky situation my dp has.
He currently has about a 20 minute commute to work.
His boss rang him the other day to let him know there was a new person starting work, as he lives close to us, dp should pick him up and drop him off every day going forward.
It is fair enough at the moment as dp’s car is in the garage, so work have been really kind and let him use the works van.
Dp doesn’t want to look like a dick and say he refuses to do the pick up/drop off, but he is really pissed off about it.
He doesn’t mind doing while he has the van, that is absolutely fair enough, but when he gets his car back he doesn’t want to get it messed up with dirty work clothes and boots in it (he always brushes himself down and changed boots before getting in).
He also really enjoys listening to music loudly, only time he does this is the commute.
This new person is nice enough, doesn’t drive. We live rurally so no buses.
He feels really miffed this person has been given a job, only way of getting to work is my dp, yet he wasn’t even asked first!
Any ideas how to handle the situation? We really don’t know how to handle it without upsetting the boss.
