Boss won't let me park on public space. Neither can you
Post Body

This happened many years ago, I'm an IT contractor living in England, I got a job working next to the Welsh Assembly in Wales (shockingly!) Typically I'd travel on bicycle / train since there wasn't really a need for a car in Cardiff.

One week I needed my car there for something, so I arrive early Monday morning. Between the Welsh Assembly and our building was a triangle of land that belonged to the WA but they'd not included it inside their wall, so it was just this triangle of unmaintained mud/grass. Big enough for one car parallel to the wall, or two cars perpendicular. I arrived, parked with enough space for another car (there was usually one parked there)

Mid way through the day I get called over by my boss who asks if I've parked there. He says that his boss is pissed because I'm parked there, I argue over it being public land etc. I'm told that this boss gets the say on my contract and doesn't need a reason to end my contract.

Fine I'll move my car.

within 30 mins of moving my car boss's boss has turned his around so nobody else can park there. This annoys me.

The following Sunday, I visit the local car hire company, and find out that because of the miracle of the British Train network it costs me about an extra £20 to hire a car for the week. Off to Cardiff I go. Car gets parked there from 6am Monday all the way through to 6pm Friday. Boss asks if it's mine "Of course not, you've seen what I drive" I don't know nothing.

This goes on for the next four months of my contract.
