Rent costs half as much up North, so swings and roundabouts

Recently been given more responsibility. I'm now on fuse board duty.Same here Doody! Hahaha. I've been working on and off sparking since I was 16. Think I only went up to 30 from 20 when I was 20! Fair Di's though, I was ****
60 A day. How lucky.He's putting me up to 60 a day so I'm happy with that for another year. Hopefully get my driving done shortly and I'll be more valuable and I can ask for another raise, which will hopefully go a fair way of maintaining my van! That's my plan
Taking action if he does deduct for half a day, rang acas after work today. Let's see beginning of next month70 quid ain't too bad for four hours work to be fair. Wow. You know what it could be worse, I could be you! Hahaha. Couldn't be arsed with that. I get picked up so I'm never late and don't have to use my own tools, which is a bonus. Definitely feeling a bit better about work now
Shame there's no apprenticeships about. Took me a year and a half for me to find one
Everyone needs more money especially at a young age most of us understand that. However you do seem to be making issues with your boss a public matter by posting as you have here. For all you say you must at times have got on well and as you live close together each of you is convenient for the other. 25 is not a child or even a teenager but an adult, an age at which most on here I'm sure had completed their apprenticeship and were working fully qualified. To truly value your worth you need the necessary qualifications behind you, completed verified, saying the things you can do I have heard many say only to find that there are limitations in abilities when tested on site. Its your life so you must have a plan, consider whats missing at the moment that you should contribute, driving is essential and yes that may be difficult but it usually is for everyone thats not unique. Try talking to your boss find out what he needs you to do to be worth more money. Though you may assess your abilities it is he who needs to agree them. Just as a guide I would suggest you stop running your boss down however bad he may actually be. I have interviewed many people over the years and always tread warily where any prospective employee finds it necessary to condemn the person they are working for. Good luck in all you do.Amen @LankyWill! Aha. Glad to hear you also been through difficult time with the boss! Aha. @anthonybragg I'm disappointed with the money I'm getting because I know if I went with someone else I could get a bit more, but it's not worth leaving for. Me and my boss don't see eye to eye all the time. I take my time, he rushes, I'm laid back, he's a stress head, he won't help me but I'm a gofer, he will watch me struggle and give me ****, but if he is struggling it's my fault for some reason. He doesn't teach me, I teach myself. If I make a mistake I'm a liability, if he makes a mistake it's my fault. You know, that kind of guy...
