no bloody jobs around anywhere!

'Tis true about the problem that some youngsters spoil it for the rest, i've worked at my place now 13 years, around 7 years ago we decided to give young people a chance - it's only warehousing but the hours are good 9-5.30 and no weekends and it's fairly decent money for the job, we had absenteeism through the roof, loads of mistakes in counting and a lack of team playing, so because of this we paid more and employed older men (youngest 34 oldest 50) and we have had the same staff now since 2006 - not 1 has left, we average 2 days sick a year each (and a lot of them are "planned" to get a few extra holidays).

 

Conversely, I employed 2 teenagers who were bright but fooked up at school, trained them up to be CAD operators and they were both brilliant. Neither had a single day off sick and neither ever turned up late. But I did know them both beforehand and paid them silly money - one even asked for a pay cut!

So maybe if you're young and sensible and looking for a break, your friends and relatives are the way forward.

 

Do you have a recognised trade at 33? If not I would be putting the effort into college to get qualified before trying to change career.

 

Trying to get a career and not just bounce from deadend job to deadend job. That's the problem. No college without funds, when I do have funds I'm working all hours under the sun. Lol

 

Hey Barney,do any of your millionaire chums need a decorator

 

They're all bent, dishonest and crooks, they walk over anyone who gets in their way, no one gets rich from working for a living and being honest
That is so true
