wage for a subby groundsman

[Mick Stockbridge]

Well go and stack shelves then......like I care....

[arnoldbuchsassinger]

wow, what a response, i own the tree business, but i would not insult someone in which ever industry, even if they are starting out by paying them £50 for a 10 hour day.

[Mick Stockbridge]

Lighten up ffs. I know full well that you work for yourself.

 

I was taking the piss.

[pie eater pete]

Ill pat £90 usually.

 

Ha I'm moving down to you..

4pence h'penny an me wife will put up sandwiches and a flask at lunch.

Once you've got 5 years behind you then a shilling is your reward.

I once worked for the minimum wage for a fair but 'tight' man.

I told my 'Gaffer' that if he could pay me £10 per day more then I would stay. (Could stay...)

At the time it was the difference between making a mortgage payment or not, so a bit life or death.

Gaffer declined, I put the house on the market, sold in weeks and walked away with a pocket of cash and NEVER looked back.

 

If you don't like your wage then be your own boss.

Find your own work, its out there...

I did, it's not that hard. I pay an occasional "drag and chip" groundie £70 a day, to save me dragging and chipping. If he's really good I let him operate the

Tirfor as a treat, but not too often as I don't want to spoil him with such luxuries.

[gibbon]

£85 a day at the moment

[lyons e]

That made me laugh, and I pay around 65 day

Whilst there is alot of muppets out there. Ive worked with many, probably the full cast. As mentioned in many other threads previously, A good groundie should be nearer £100 with his own ppe saw etc. Its often harder work than the climbing, I dont mean to knock climbers at all but there is sometimes a "Tradesman divide" like the building trades were plumbers and electricians actually make it harder for the groundie. I always try and be a team player. At the end of the day a good person on the ground probably can make 50% difference in workrate as opposed to a bad one.

 

I can get £10 an hr burning hardly any calories driving, do a 10 hr day and not go home tired or aching. With £100. Or slog my guts out 40hrs dragging brash at £60 a day that would be £300. As a provider you go were you are best paid so probably many of the best top grade groundies are elsewhere.

 

Just a viewpoint. Respect to all:001_smile:

[mad matty]

we pay £60-90 depending on how much graft is involved,self employed with own gear!

not a job offer though.
