Charge for courtesy car

[st13phil]

The loss of experienced personal on projects as people decided to go part time or retire means I now get 'deja vu' meetings where something that was a technical issue several years ago and addressed is being discussed as something new. New staff have had to relearn what was already known.

While I can understand that being a greater issue post-Covid, I’ve experienced the same situation many times pre-Covid in mature organisations when they go through “restructuring” too.

I learned that in many organisations the real knowledge of how business-critical systems and processes actually work is puddle deep and often vested in no more than one or two people. Once they’re lost (through retirement or whatever) the whole plot falls apart.

Since getting the CL in 2014 I have been charged €15 for a CC, necessary as the dealer is over an hour away.

2 years ago the dealer merged with another, larger one and the fee increased to €30 per day, so seems to be the same as the UK.

We treat the day as a shopping + lunch out in a city we would otherwise not travel to, so €30 on top of an MB service bill is not a lot, really.

Try explaining it to some!

There is always a cost, how it is recovered is just accountancy.
