Noise complaint at work. What are my rights?

**Disco Dan** · 6th August 2007, 18:13

haha, yeah I agree... it does 'rub off' onto the staff... we are social beings and learn from other behaviours through those we meet throughout our lives... im not nuts, just a little crazy

but heck you need to be in this line of work!

Im going to pull the "a client has moved my bike" card and say since I can see it I need to park it near the staff house...

Anyway, if your pipe is factory and your not revving it etc, chances are they knew there was shift-work next door before they moved in. People are right about pissing the boss off and pay/promotions but I'd dig my toes in anyway. If you had a big fat aftermarket or were on the piss pulling skids after work it would be different but you're doing what you can and the cost to yourself to have some setup (big hose and muffler box that work pays for??) is unreasonable. Theres things you (they) have to live with. If they want total quiet they'll have to spend up large for a 100 Ha place in the wops thats for sure!

(PS, you can get the possum that has been thowing stuff around in our roof each night and stick it in theirs if you want!! Hahahahahah)

Sure, I owe you one. Sheesh! I'm a curious little monkey, just tell me!

(Oh, I only fetch beer on borrowed Buells, just a personal policy).

If you yeild your rights on this, they'll be asking you to yeild your rights on something else pretty soon. "Do these extra hours, pussy" "no overtime for you, pushover."

Don't give an inch, just say something like
"Yes I'm sorry, I do understand the problem but I'm afraid I can't do that, motorcycles are just too vulnerable to be left in an area where they can be tampered with out of sight. "
"I understand the neighbour's concerns but there's really no alternative."

Yes your spot on there! I could get some quotes for alarms and covers etc etc and explain to her (my manager) that this extra expense would have to be met as well as not being practical. The neighbours are more than likely complaining simply because they are frustrated at all the cars coming and going all day and evening every single day... heck it would drive me nuts. Then I can even pull the "a client has moved my bike, its not safe there" etc etc

Put a cheap alarm (unidens at supercheap, f'rinstance) as long as it has a remote, and the remote can be used as a panic alarm (ie you hold down a button on the remote for a few seconds and it sets the alarm off)

With the bike parked over the other side or whereever they want you to leave it, sometime in the small hours - use the remote to set the alarm off. After its woken everyone off, rush out and check the bike. Do this a few nights in a row. Tell management how insecure it is to leave the bike over there, someone must be tampering with it, best if it was left where you could see it, etc.
