If the Birch and hornbeam 8ft firewood was on a ton rate and not piece rate I could have made more and might have stayed on .few people had suggested that I do a 40hr week on there piece rate then clearly say at the end of the week your company is shite I have worked hard all week for f##k all.dont see much point though in that but it would prove a point they are cowboy conmen

 

 

Or it could equally prove ur either not as good/quick as u think u are

Or it could mean ur not as hard a worker as u think.

Or both the above

 

It could also mean the boss fcuked up his pricing when he estimated the job. It happens

It could mean a whole lot of things other than the boss is a cowboy, althou he may well be.

 

Surely ton rate and piece rate are pretty much the same thing and it would completely depend on wot the tonnage rate was.

But I can't imagine the tonnage rate being much different, would it not simply be simply the piece rate multiplied by its average wieght ( if an average piece was 50kg ur ton rate would be about 20x that) can't see how it makes any odds.

The harder Moe effeciant u work the more u get paid.

think you will find that is Kent!!

I thought op was in  Chichester area,, and that makes it West Sussex.

 

either way a lot of guys come and go... in handcutting, it’s a good learning time in felling for other arb jobs

 

In Forestry work  it's a thing of time is money so the more you cut the more the boss earns. After all the boss don’t want to pay if you don’t work when it’s pissin down

Oh and yes he wants a hefty wage and profit..

 

you have to look around and find who is offering better... it’s the way it works in most jobs. That being supermarkets, building work..and everything else.?
