Pathetic workrate of rail arb gang

[harvey b davison]

So if you work a very short shift, are you invoicing for that short shift or invoicing for more.

I've had jobs in previous lives where there's nothing to do all day.

 

The time drags for sure.

 

I didn't believe in resurrection till I read this.

I started out in line clearance, I really enjoyed it.

 

Got all over, in some very beautiful places.

 

Worked some very nice, very big trees.

 

Live line work was always interesting

 

Yep i did quite alot of line clearance work and enjoyed it too for the same reasons. made some gr8 friends too.

We were working on the edge of Cardiff back in November, 2 men on a site clearance job, the rail boys were there felling a line of alders with 7 or 8 of them. Turn up at 9, fell a tree, chip it, take the bonnet off, look at the engine for an hour, sit in the van, fell an alder, chip it, sit in the van, go home at 2 or 3pm...

I work for local government 5 days a week and since new management moved in we're in a similar situation. Some of the guys were told; no pay rises just go slower. Most of the guys want to do a fair days work for a fair days pay but after a while you see everyone else doing sweet FA and you get dumbed down to their level. For me, it's my weekend work and my own business that keeps my sanity intact.

My take on it for what it's worth is :-

If you chose arb work as a profession then you can't be afraid of work. If you are given the chance to earn a steady income you put in the sweat and not bite the hand that feeds you

Is this not the same as any profession assuming your a motivated and driven individual? That's what earns you career development no matter what your profession is.
