If 9 miles is a reasonable walk, why are they running a bus service? Just ask all the customers to walk instead.

love this xD

Evil company policy (read nuts).

I mean I like walking but 9miles is decent a Saturday walk in summer, not on a Thursday in snow!

Some managers are total pillocks.

a ten mile walk to work is in no way reasonable. Tell your boss to walk to your house and pick you up before you even consider it!

10mile walk even in good weather is 1.5 -2+ hours for most people.

where I live it's not just snow it melts and freezes as ice over night, some paths are literally black ice almost the whole way.

it would take me forever to walk 10miles in the morning, this guys boss is a joke

average person walks at what 3 ish miles per hour, so thats a good 3+ hour walk then, even longer when you consider the snow/ice will make it dangerous.

if your old maybe, 3mph feels really slow.

3.5mph is more what I see people walking at, I can do 4mph comfortably in snow and ice though it's probably more like 2mph... or less the guys boss lol... what a clown

If they jogged at say 7 mph, they'd do it in just over an hour, much faster.

Well that is completely unreasonable. I assume you would also have to walk home afterwards as well. So it'd be 20 miles of walking in one day. Add to that it would be in the snow so you speed would be affected it'd probably be 7+ hours of walking in the cold plus 8+ hours sitting in to cold on the bus. I'd tell them to **** off.

do the walk to work them claim compensation.

I went out for a walk at midnight last night and some paths were totally glazed over made me feel like a OAP scared as hell I was about to slip and bust my knee.
most road surfaces weren't much better to walk on either, I don't think they had sprayed the roads

 

[wildman]

don't worry, once most of the worker protections get burnt at the Tory altar you won't get a choice, so you may aswell start now to get some practice in........................

That's ridiculous, no chance

You should've walked in then take the next couple of weeks off sick saying you fell ill walking into work for 3 hours in the freezing cold.

Good. I mean, what if you set off, got 3 miles in, fell over on the ice and broke a leg?

If it were me and they were really playing hard ball, I think I'd just reply saying I have COVID-19 symptoms and will self isolate for 2 weeks.

9 miles in nice weather is unreasonable never mind all that lovely snow and ice.

 

[danoliver1]

Can't you get the bus to work.

Unless of course OP you are on call, in which case you should be at the wheel all the time just in case.

It’s so unreasonable I think there must be some crossed wires somewhere!
