Do you want to be a number in a massive organisation? Do you want a bucketload of deskjockeys and managers bossing you around, even though they have never been in a lorry? Want to be micromanaged for every penny? Work for one of those big companies! Stay small, stay local.
The company I work for is a 3th generation family business. Don't know my employee number, everything is on a first name basis, pay is good, expert mechanics , no dumb managers and great colleagues.

Went from wincanton to gxo on a tupe, they weren't the best and I moved on, a few of my old workers mates have said their really bad to work for but I suppose it depends on the contract.

I guess that you have a union recognition agreement in place? I worked for Norbert/XPO for 5 years, the union was strong in our depots and according to ex work colleagues it still is.

Don’t ever expect to be paid right or understand your pay slip
A lot depends on how good your TUPE negotiations went down and how good a deal you got
We went from Waitrose to GXO nearly a year ago and are still having issues

yeah I work for gxo and the job is pretty steady to be honest. But the wages are always wrong and they treat us like crap. Moneys not bad and hours are good. That's the only reason I'm still here
