Looking for some friendly advice on pay...

Ha Rupe I would have loved to have seen your old boss go mental when you told him you were leaving.

 

Good advice Rupe.

 

No work today then??

 

That was in 1993 or 4 ish, not much of a loss to him at the time but an inconvenince as he had work booked in. But hey, he was trying to play me for his own benefit and I wanted full time work.

I don't work Tuesdays, I look after my youngest boy which is work in it's self.

 

Actually, I'm not working Thursday or Friday as I have no one to work with, shame.

I've got nothing this week. Good thing I've got employees that I can totally take for granted and call up whenever i feel like it and not pay them holidays etc!!

Yup, that's the way to treat people, you may find it a good idea to moan to them how hard you've got it as well.

And how lucky they are to be learning from me etc....

Not enough experience to be self employed IMO. Self employed means you need to be able to get on with the the job in hand, any amount of teaching or instructing is just going to benefit the next company you work for. I would want a year or 2 of commitment at basic wage and you'd have to do all the types of work includign making tea in the morning etc.

 

Was the making tea bit a joke?...if not, would i hell!!
