Imagine yourself in this scenario:
You are a sales manager. Your boss comes to you and says you are not keeping your company car clean enough.
What do you do? Apologize profusely, run out at lunch/after work that day (whichever is sooner) and get it cleaned, then make a appointment on your calendar to get it cleaned say every week or two? That seems logical to me. After all, you get reimbursed for having it cleaned, so you're just out a bit of time, and your boss has made it clear that this is important to him.
Not one of our managers. Apparently his boss has had this conversatiom with him more than once to no avail. Now the guy's car is nearing 100K miles, the normal trade in point for our company. It was determined last week that the guy is getting a formal letter stating that if his car isn't kept up to snuff, his company car will be taken away. Instead he will get a car allowance and have to furnish his own wheels.
I can't imagine not getting this. Your boss tell you to clean it up, DO IT. It wasn't an idle suggestion. We'll see how this works out.
