TY.

Now let's look at your scenario. Most places of business have a delivery entrance at or near the rear of the building. Most plumbers would use said entrance to further not only be close to their work but to actually remain out of sight. I don't believe they would park their truck/van out in the public parking lot while on duty. Hence being discreet about their work. If they use a company vehicle while visiting the club off duty, most assuredly they should be fired, and justly so. When a place of business puts it's name on a business card or the side of their truck it is stating that the reputation of said company is worthy. If after a hard weeks work all the plumbers went to the club for the show, they have damaged the business by doing so, if they use a company truck. If I owened said company and were on my home from business and saw a fleet of my business trucks in the parking lot, you bet I would go right in there and fire each and everyone of them. I have posted this before in another thread, that if I had the position to fire people a lot of them would be fired if for no other reason, but; "just for practice."

People need to be not only responsible for themselves but the man who gives them that beloved pay check every 2 weeks. I am a bit old fashioned, but if I take a mans money, I give him the required work he demands for it. I worked for the same company for 30 years and retired.
