Discuss Neil walked? in the UK Tiling Forum area at TilersForums.com.
Neil has worked with me for two years then decided he wanted to go into the army, he lasted 9 months and was out. He called me after a week.
He walked off the job today because I dont pay him enough....he comes out with £220 a week, he is 20. I know we work some long days but we also finish early sometimes, I regularly buy him breakfast and let him use the van all the time............cant believe it!
He rang an hour ago and said he wants £350 per week.....I told him to get stuffed, then his Mum rang and said he was upset and he wished he had not walked of the job and could I take him back?
I said no......was I right because I feel as though I am.
:mad2:
I remember being berated by family for charging too much for my weekend private jobs when I was that ageMy lad is working for 50 notes a day - 250 a week, from full plumbing, tiling, knocking down walls, putting in steels etc. I think you have him, for his age on a good wage, plus he possibley isn't paying tax etc.
My sons mate is 2 years out of his plastering course and walked from a job, 100 notes a day-- tax free, because he thinks he can get 180 a day! I've told the burk I often work for 120 a day, and he has his mum to pay the bills!
They are just greedy, an off-set from the Labour Governmet who gave out too much to people who thought they were owed a living. IMO.

thats what a proper painter charges...........I am a proper painter and have the papers to prove it
thats what a business charges..............thats right. why should I charge less
you did it over a weekend................yes. even more reason to charge the going rate
your too young to charge that rate............I did it unsupervised and completed on time, I also did a good job. whats age got to do with it
who was right me or them, if I had listened to them I would have had nothing all my life
its not youngsters charging a decent rate for their labour thats the problem, its the attitude in this country that tradesmen are overpaid
this is worse from instituitionalised proffessionals who retire early on fat pensions after a carreer in which they are protected in employment and never need worry about next weeks work as its always there
if youngsters believe they are worth 180 a day and demand it then good for them , why should they work for peanuts, someone has tought them the value of their labour
