Depends whether a fulfilling working day, or the pay packet is the reward you seek.
Think of the inner tubes!
Do bin workers really earn £35k+?I could work the dustbins for 2/3 more salary and less hours.
I was chatting to my mate who owns a bike shop and he's decided they need to come up with a more coherent pricing and payment structure. He told me about one guy who bought an expensive bike then brought it back into the shop the very next week. My mate was worried and asked if there was a problem with it but the guy just said "no, I've come to give you some money, I've not paid you for it yet"Aye.
Personally I'd love a bike shop, or to work in one, but it won't pay the bills. Plus I'd die with the state of some of the bikes, and I'd never make money as they would be given back to the customer like new !!
Blimey - I knew that I was out of touch, but not by that much!About £33k round there, according to the job ad in the local carncil version of Pravda that occasionally drops through our doors.
When I worked in sales my bonuses were twice my basic salary .Do you think the bonus is likely to be an additional 2/3 atop salary, reasonably attainable, and guaranteed?
Would you rather be emptying bins all day? I wouldn't, it sounds horrid. I'm perfectly happy to pay somebody else to do it.All sorts of jobs that are considered "menial" by some are paid incredibly well. Bin man is one, parcel delivery can be another one if you put the hours in. Postman is another. No thought required, just rinse and repeat, door after door.
I flog myself almost the full 7 days a week and I'm on call 24/7, I present to a national board, I represent the company at Government and industry meetings, my role needs a high degree of intelligence, experience, and tact, and yet I get little more than a bin man. Makes me question whether it's worth it.
