Subbing for Ground Control

[Ian C]

Do they pay more if you turn up with a three inch chipper and take longer?

 

 

No if they say it 3 day job and you go over you get 3 days money

IMO, subbing to such organisations is a mugs game, but then there is IME no shortage of mugs.

They were pretty good back in the day, price for the job, none of this hourly rate crap.

 

Way back when, my mog, chipper and operator was £350+vat for a night on the railway, plus £150+vat for me climbing.

 

Martins won the contract, they rang me and offered £270+vat for the mog and operator for a night, I just laughed

We have done priced contract work for GC, no issues with payment or otherwise. Seemed a reasonable outfit.

For once I agree with you! I did the PQQ then looked into it further and it was a piss take, wanting me to spend money and jump through there hoops on the off chance I might get a job! Told em to do one

IMO subbing is a tricky game. You do all the work, get none of the credit and get moaned at If there is the slightest problem. If you can't deal with the main man, don't bother.

We do a lot of subbing, it's ok if you trust the firm you work for, I had a nightmare with Glendale, I wouldn't work with them again. But then ihave done maybe £150 with another firm last year with no problems. You need to watch out for Marks and Spencer syndrome.

This is when you begin subbing for a firm and then you get to a stage where thy give you so much work that you can't afford to loose them, then they have you by the short and curlies.

[Mark Bolam]

Trust means f-all Tom, and you've left a k off your £150.

Significant, that.

 

Play with the big boys at your own risk, don't ever get too deep.
