Amazon are hiring people with no work experience at £10.50 an hour in Tilbury.
£10 an hour.......ridiculous........Ive heard "we cant get enough welders" when really what they mean is "we cant get enough welders at the wages we are paying".....this is why there are so many Eastern Europeans accepting silly wages.......I know a few who only employ Polish (or did, maybe its changed).
I used to train them...they would appear on Monday and first thing they ask is whats the minimum wage, Id tell them and they would be gone by Wednesday....you could see the look on their faces as they did the sums.......I heard most of them ended up in Boston Lincs picking Lettuces or whatever.
FFSSomething I’ve been chatting with Richard about recently, thought I’d share some of the ridiculous jobs I’ve come across. Here’s one from indeed today.
Problem is, someone will take that job, and then that devalues everyone else.
minimum wage less food and lodgings........and some are on less than minimum wage as they pay the Ganger who pays them the going rate in Poland....there are many ways of getting round min wage......but our poor Farmers are worried how they will be able to afford a new Range Rover after BrexitYep, all our salad crops grown in the Fenn’s are picked by Eastern Europeans
They go out a couple of weeks before harvest, mostly to the poorest villages, bus them over, provide dormitory lodging on the farms, lay on the odd social event and then bus them back
Absolute minimum wage
