I recall once seeing a couple of guys park their car in our private work car park and go off to another building. I had a quick word with the facilities manager and we dropped the barrier and locked it.
When they returned, they demanded that the barrier be unlocked and raised, so they could get their cars out: no please, not sorry.
They were told that the barrier would stay down until 5:30...they started on about they had to be at a certain place before then.
They were directed to the bus stops at the end of the road.

Re: Asked not to put a bike in a car space at work
When our carpark got congested they changed the parking spaces closest to the entrance to 'car share' only. So pick up a colleague on the way to work and you get to park right near the door. Worked well.

Re: Asked not to put a bike in a car space at work
Not really sorted, the director tried to broach the subject with the MD to see if it was OK to use the plinth.
Apparently he went off on one and stormed off even before he actually got round to asking about parking a bike on the plinth!!

Re: Asked not to put a bike in a car space at work
Sounds like he has mental health issues, or the company is struggling.
Either way, if he can't be businesslike, is there any point in working for him?
He sounds like the find of guy who makes bad decisions, won't listen to advice etc.
Good luck, anyway.

Re: Asked not to put a bike in a car space at work
I just don't get why people work for others they think are twats, it makes no sense on so many levels. Either go get a job for someone you respect and would want to work for or start your own business and become the boss you think others deserve.
Re: Asked not to put a bike in a car space at work
Maybe 
Maybe that is how the current MD is thinking.
Re: Asked not to put a bike in a car space at work
This might be a bit different But the first time i went to work in the workshop in Birmingham on my bike i parked right in front of the offices thinking it would be safer
But oh no come 0830 when all the office staff come in,
You guessed it i had the 2 main men at the time come straight down the workshop and ordered the bike is to be brought inside so it stays dry and safe, that was 17 years ago and its still comes inside even with all the new managment
Some you win some you don’t i would personally tell to go forth and multiply

It's close to home, decent money and I finish at 11am on Friday (40 hr week).Richard Simpson Mark II wrote: ↑Thu Feb 14, 2019 11:45 am Sounds like he has mental health issues, or the company is struggling.

Other than that there's a lot to dislike.
Believe it or not. He's a multi millionaire having built the company up then sold it on. He's now employed rather than the owner.
Alongside his Bentley he also has a Gullwing Merc a Rolls Royce Raith and God knows what else.
Contract work is a solution. I'm waiting for the right opportunity to arise then I'm off.

Re: Asked not to put a bike in a car space at work
Many years ago I turned up to my first day of work at new job on my bike to be greeted by the MD asking where I intend to park my bike.
There was a shared car park at the unit so I said chained up outside here. He was not happy with that that and would be safer inside out of the rain.
But being top floor 3 units up would cause an issue, let me have a think he's says!
Within a fortnight he had a gantry built along with electric hoist, and every day for 10 years my bike was hoisted up and down the outside of the building for safe keeping.
