There's an employer like that round here.. Hated by everyone and constantly has an advert running in the local job centre and gets them to do free day trials then chips them off.. Always a different face in the van.

Is that your inner woman trying to get out....?

[Mountain man]

What you also have to remember is, and this works both ways between employees and employers that generally local firms know each other and word spreads about bad staff being unreliable so getting work is harder but also about bad employers so getting workers is harder. It's back to the team thing and a trust thing and remember **** does happen to us all at some point.

 

Doesn't matter how badly some employers (are perceived to)

treat their workers, they will always get new people because of the thousands of people coming out of college every 10 weeks, desperate for experience.

I know, I was one 20 years ago.

Marcus, you live in a world of your own!

 

Running back'n'forth on a bike or a tractor is fine if you work local to home. Some of us don't have that pleasure.

 

How do you get on with a roadside fix when the computer says no?

 

(i) If I required to drive substantial distances on a daily basis, I would run a newer car, possibly with Green Star cover.

Or simply change every 3/5 or 7 years when the manufacturers warrenty expires.

Plus have contingency plans in place, like short term hire or loaner.

(ii) See above.

 

Simples.

Do you know the basic salary for a tree worker? If I bought a new car every five years my boss would be suspicious!

[Richard 1234]

Just out of interest what is a basic salary for a tree worker?

Just wondering as a mate had a big chestnut taken down and stump out and small hedge reduction for £2150 plus vat. Somone made some money! Only 4 1/2 hour job thanks Richard

Haha very good. There's no I in team but there is a me. Forgot how pedantic arbtalk was.

 

Your 'her' recognition sums up the nature of some people and the way they are molly coddled in todays society in the working world. Prima Donna arborists. Champagne wage demands, lemonade work ethic. Lol

Then one is employing a flawed business model, travelling long distances for minimal wages.

 

Or, In farming parlance a "busy fool", working hard, yes, but not achieving a lot.
