Posse Posted July 17, 2007 Report Posted July 17, 2007 what makes you stay there ? Do you just stay there because its good money? What if the people you work with are tossers would you stay? or would you jack it and take about £180 a week pay cut ? DISCUSS
Trevmk3 Posted July 17, 2007 Report Posted July 17, 2007 where i used to work was alrite money, but then i had the chance to do an apprenticeship with Rolls Royce so i jumped ship taking a £110 a week pay cut, whilst having to travel further to get there, im glad to say that now it is just starting to pay off and in the next month i should be on to full wages (fingers crossed) otherwise i will consider leaving and finding work abroad or closer to my house.
Admin Vista Posted July 17, 2007 Admin Report Posted July 17, 2007 I enjoy my job as I get to play with extremely expensive toys that mere mortals like us can usually only see from afar. It's also interesting to see what people with extraordinarily large sums of money like to spend it on. Oh yeah the pay's good, and where else would I get to play with nearly 40'000 horse power
jamesmk1 Posted July 17, 2007 Report Posted July 17, 2007 i have only stayed at the same place as i get cheap tyre's but the money is $hit
sab6024 Posted July 17, 2007 Report Posted July 17, 2007 I love my job, don't really have to work with anyone much so not worried about the risk of to**ers I wouldn't even consider changing if it meant a pay cut because the wages are crap anyway
Posse Posted July 17, 2007 Author Report Posted July 17, 2007 what about every day you dread going to work becouse there is one tinker lol that should be a prt of your team helping and getting stuck in is doing as little as poss ?and getting more than you ? And is taking some of the credit when he has'nt even been there?
jamesmk1 Posted July 17, 2007 Report Posted July 17, 2007 i work with two people like that. and i am all ways having to do there work as well as mine and all i get from the boss is but you have been here longer.
Trevmk3 Posted July 17, 2007 Report Posted July 17, 2007 i have that at the moment darren, i still go as i dont mind the work but it feels that i do more work than the others but dont get rewarded for it, i am multiskilled and in our workshop there is only 4 multiskilled workers. we have to do work for other people at the same time as doing our own jobs and somehow we manage to get the work done in the same amount of time as the others, somehow i think they are not pulling the same weight. if we change design on a machine for the better we dont get any reward let alkone thanks, but then again the monkeys at the top of the tree are always going to shit on the people on the floor
Posse Posted July 17, 2007 Author Report Posted July 17, 2007 I reckon its time to take the bull by the horn and fook em all Don't you feel sometimes that you have got your hands tied behide your back with having a morgage and family?
Trevmk3 Posted July 17, 2007 Report Posted July 17, 2007 i cant comment on that darren as im without both, but sometimes it does feel as though you are bent over a barrel, i wouldnt mind my own place but i doubt i will be able to afford one
jamesmk1 Posted July 17, 2007 Report Posted July 17, 2007 I reckon its time to take the bull by the horn and fook em all Don't you feel sometimes that you have got your hands tied behide your back with having a morgage and family? yes mate i know what you mean. it not like you can just say fook em and leave your job.
Posse Posted July 17, 2007 Author Report Posted July 17, 2007 I fooking feel like it m8 but ill be right in the shit
Trevmk3 Posted July 17, 2007 Report Posted July 17, 2007 i think the best way mate is to try and keep your head down and plug away at the job your in know and just keep your eyes open for an ideal job or other stepping stone to a job.
Posse Posted July 17, 2007 Author Report Posted July 17, 2007 I know were your coming from m8 but its really getting to me now .But like a couple of you said ill have to keep my head down Until the flying head butt.
Trevmk3 Posted July 17, 2007 Report Posted July 17, 2007 thats it bud head down, eyes open. then a swift glasgow kiss as a leaving present
escortmad79 Posted July 17, 2007 Report Posted July 17, 2007 I had that where I used to work, there was an obnoxious pr*ck from the Black Country that worked there who would whinge about people behind their back & he'd report them but wouldn't have the balls to say it to their faces. I worked there for 3 months, the wages were little over minimum wage, all that was keeping me going there were thoughts of Michelle, thinking of her all day kept me motivated. One morning whilst going to work there was a sign at the factory across the road looking for delivery drivers so when I was on my break I walked over there, got the job & started the following Monday. I'm now on double the money I was on & I get to finish a lot earlier most days than I would've done staying where I was working (I earn the same wage per day regardless of hours)
Deano1351 Posted July 17, 2007 Report Posted July 17, 2007 I work on building sites, im up at 5 most mornings and not normally home till after 6 at night what with travelling. Its bearable coz its a laugh and the moneys ok but im not doing it forever, the winters are fookin freezin. If it gets too bad darren just go on the dole, the moneys shite but the hours are pukka
Gareth Posted July 17, 2007 Report Posted July 17, 2007 what about every day you dread going to work becouse there is one tinker lol that should be a prt of your team helping and getting stuck in is doing as little as poss ?and getting more than you ? And is taking some of the credit when he has'nt even been there? Sounds like a manager
aden Posted July 17, 2007 Report Posted July 17, 2007 If it gets too bad darren just go on the dole, the moneys shite but the hours are pukka ha ha you would know! no seriously i know exactly where you are coming from, im a mechanic for the local council, never known a bigger bunch of d*cks in all my life apart from about 2 per cent of them! thing is the hours are good hols are good and its 10 min up the road
Twinkle Posted July 18, 2007 Report Posted July 18, 2007 wont be changing my job would never find another that i enjoy so much, doesnt matter to me what i earn though.
DeuceCoupe Posted July 18, 2007 Report Posted July 18, 2007 I think people get in a rut and its what they are used too. I asked for a pay rise yesterday. Got told wait till I start my new job in November and then wait six months for a pay review. I need to be earning more money now so I can afford to rent a place. Just found out from a collegue she worked in another bit of BP and was being made redundant she got two bonus and redundancy money wait for it one bonus was £10,000
Admin Mk2Jo Posted July 18, 2007 Admin Report Posted July 18, 2007 Am only where I am still because of the money and the fact that I have big mortgage and bills to pay .... I like the job but I don't like the people I work for as they don't give a toss about their employees
mossy Posted July 18, 2007 Report Posted July 18, 2007 i work in asda........enough said! Looking for a full time job as a mechanic....tried so many places..But i dont have enough experience!
