I've sent them an e-mail,and told them i will work for a bowl of rice per day.
You don't think i'm selling myself short, do you?

Bloody cheek!!
That ad should NOT have been approved!
Probably get more money, benefits, holiday at Tesco!!

 

[Mark_Burgess]

HAHAHAHA, read this from their website

 

[ipf]

Bowl of rice pudding and I might think about it. Cheeky t*****s.

 

[jeremy]

I'll do it as long as I can bill them minimum 35 hours / day plus fuel, expenses plus overtime as necessary

I like the phrase " fully time served electrician" I wonder what they mean by that??? So they want a "qualified electrician" to work for 1 month on the National minimum wage and then they may pay him £ 8.00 per hour, have I understood this correctly? Maybe there is a generous mileage allowance and a gold plated pension !!!

 

[highspark]

The problem is some desperate twerp will do it

 

[trev]

No doubt the numpties at the jobcentre will force someone to do it.

 

[leckyant]

Thanks for your replys guys n girls.
the point of my post is that we are being dumded down.
I am a leccy man, no gold plated pension to look forward to,but the govererment pay roll will carry on as we suffer... wish A'd become a (well I was going to say nurse,GOOD ON EM,) but a civil service job will do me in my next life.

 

[trev]

I don't think it's just us sparkies mate. It seems all trades are now damned with short course wonders.

 

[highspark]

Let's face it lads. At least we have some quals needed to trade others like roofers, joiners, plumbers have no governing bodies to stop cowboys working

I wonder how much Lynn Hall gets paid I bet it's a lot more than £8/hr

I wonder how many do the months trial then get the push and another is trialled so they get their electrics done really cheap

Is this what some employers think an electrician is really worth £8/hr and tax credits?

 

[leckyant]

highspark
I think your missing the point.
OK lets get everyone superannuated

 

[Arnold Layne]

I understand the sentiment leckyant but you are a whole lot more useful to society than a large number of Civil Servants and you are a skilled craftsman ....highspark is right.

 

[leckyant]

O K mate, I'll leave at that. Me done in this world

 

[GLENNSPARK]

good luck to em i say...by god they`l need it n all......oh i`m sure the`l get someone going for this....boy are they in for a shock...the employers ..lol.......well pay crap..get crap..hmm.........

Hmm work for a month at National Minimum Wage first. Reading between the lines, i'd say that's more like: Slog your guts out for us for a month earning less than a pittance, then at the end of it we'll use some lame excuse to get rid of you & then find another Schmuck for next month.

Or of course I may just be being Cynical:lol:.
