What advice would you give the CEO of First UK Bus about how to improve it?
Sort the management team out, its not very nice being ignored when you lodge an official complaint against someone, its also downright rude to be told there would be an exit interview, but not receive any contact from a line manager.Scrap the banked hours contract, the whole idea behind it was so that we didn't have to work when the Colleges were on Vacations, now there is other work in between College runs and during vacations, there is no need for the hours to be banked.Tell your managers to actually listen to what the drivers are telling them, instead of totally ignoring them. The most shocking management team I have ever had the misfortune to work under.Asked 23 March 2020
