Expectations

[widler]

To be fair to his employer he is paying him a half decent wage to learn him a trade , any mistakes is paid for by the employer .
If he was a 18 year old kid up here i would pay him £150 a week.
a apprenticeship is for learning a trade , for a employer to use his own time and money to learn someone a job he can do for the rest of his life , it costs us money for a year or two until they start earning us a few quid , and at the end of the day thats what employees are there for , earning us, there masters a lot of money so we can have mondays off when we are rough

Yeah but it's not an apprenticeship Craig, nor is he 18 haha
But he's averaging 10m a day fixed and grouted, without supervision.
You gotta figure it's worth more than £5.25 a metre, if experianced fixers are on £15 for example and the company is still making a profit then they're taking another £10 a metre of Ash!!
So they're prob making at least 3 times what he is and not even teaching him cos he's working on his todd!
I think anyone who can knock out 10m a day grouted should be worth a bit more, don't u!

 

[widler]

As a employer, NO

 

[Spud]

Ash ask to go on price work

@Colour Republic thats take home bud. @3_fall thats most days when doing the standard plots, the wetrooms take longer and today was doing 6 inch in a bathroom took me all day to fix about 6 m2 lol but thats cuz i barely use small tiles at work. But i know im worth a bit more than i get but feel theres not much i can do if i ask for more money i highley doubt id get any more. I do jave company van to take into consideration though i guess thats part of the reason

 

[Mr Tiler]

I learn something in many years working with a team of tilers,someone have eyes and hands and someone never learn.I actually have one guy who work with me for more then one year and start laborer,couple of months was good enough to work alone,now I can't fault him,is really good and fast,some of my clients prefer him not me!.In this year I change more then 30 another ''tilers'' who don't know nothing more then a helper.I not have patient anymore,if is smart and pay attention you can see in a couple of days,not need to try and try again.

 

[Mr Tiler]

So all good then yeh? I am a bit concerned because the gaffa was onabout a rise just after xmas and i havnt mentioned anything to him about it, but neither has he lol. In all honesty though im happy in my job thats the main thing to me for now. Sorry gary you can have your thread back now lol

I'd ask for £8-10 m² pal
Or ask for a bonus if you hit 50m per week. There needs to at least be an incentive.
