Just a thought: Would it diffuse the situation if you were able to assure your employer that you would take on a 'chauffeur' (relative, friend, student) if a ban materialised and you had to get about? Either you swallow the cost, or more hopefully your employer helps out....... I must admit that, from reading the post, it sounds as though there may be other underlying issues coming to the fore ..... an informal chat to the 'boss' might clear the air..... good luck |
