>> The inference being that this same job, in your eyes, was easy.<<
Of course it is, I've spent 30 years doing timed multi-drops on an artic.
BUT, the point I'm making is that because it's easy doesn't mean it's mundane or beneath anyone.
It's a great life with no stress if you can get the hang of being on time for your first drop and then knowing that anything after that one is not down to you.
I absolutely get why anyone would want to spend time doing that for pin money after a career that required a lot more input.
IMHO the post was discourteous to every van driver but more than that, to everyone who has made a choice to do what makes them happy.
Just because you choose not to use your full potential shouldn't ever be a reason for others to judge you.
I many peoples eyes I threw away a great career, turning down promotion and left to be a lorry driver many years ago.
It was the best move I ever made and for the next 30 years I never 'worked' at a job, I enjoyed every minute of it.
What people forget though, I didn't lose the qualifications I had with that decision, I didn't suddenly become a thick person capable of doing nothing else........ I became happy, for the first time in 9 years.
