Try doing it on a 30hr contract, then you'll need even more rope! No early shift payment for me. No time to prep D2Ds, lucky to get a break and have to prep another 1/2 a delivery for nowt!Jimmy Carr`s laugh wrote:Where to start ??
Well, im on FF which im told will no longer exist as I start at 5:30 till 13:30, less breaks thats 12:50 and I get my kid @ 12:45 (just manage it as it is) - yet we are now being told we start at 7am , no FF. so im working till 3pm , meaning another half days childcare per day x 4 @ £27 , thats £108 per week
I get 3 lots of d2d per week, thats £28 and £12 early shift, thats £40 - less tax £9, thats £31.00 gone - thats my ONLY spare cash for going out/beer/birthday presents etc etc - the wife doesnt know about that , thats my ONLY cash end of. My wage goes to the wife as im weekly, shes monthly ,and our mortgage is £1600 a month (shes a teacher), so bills go out her account ,so I just give her my flat wage weekly.
We can just about afford to pay 4 mornings nursery, and I have her on my day off - which also means every 6th week when I get a saturday off I swop it with my mate and I have his friday, as the nurserys closed saturday and it would mean an extra days half nursery, so I DONT get ANY saturdays off EVER. So now theyre targeting saturdays as the max out booster day where you get ripped a new one every week, im going to have to swop mine AGAIN - so im gona be working all these monsta saturdays EVERY week - with the saturday specials D2D etc ,out till 3pm
Oh nearly forgot , I get £20.60 for my trouble, less tax of £7, thats £13 in my pocket, and a 2% rise of £4.50, less tax, £3.50, thats £16
so here`s how my life looks now
extra outgoings = £108 childcare and loss of £31 in the wage = £139.00
extra incoming = £16
total profit / loss = £123 out of pocket
Can never go out , can never have beer , can never have a bet, can never buy anyone anything ever again, not even a card. Im never going to have a monsta saturday off as long as I have an hole in my arse. Im going to be so tired and exhausted that i`ll probably just work, cook tea and sleep - I wont be able to have sex EVER again as i`ll be to tired. Im nearly there now before all this crap.
Oh and I cant use the RM bike anymore apparently, so I have to walk to and from work, which means getting up 45mins earlier and getting home 45mins later . And when I get there, and when I eventually get out on delivery, im going to have to hump a huge giant wheelybin like trolley around with me in my big orange coat, polio shoes, daft alienlike helmet , and hope to deliver to my new round which is the approximate of the current round and a half 800 drops.
And ive done 18 years and ive got 33 years of this crap left coz I started in june 1991, about 2 weeks after the retirement age went up from 65 to 67
WTF AM I DOING THIS JOB FOR !!
Another suggestion, give up beer!
And don't forget your spare hour a week, when you go down to 39 hrs!
and...................no sex, no more kids, no more child care problems, especially when the current one goes to school (see there is always a bright side
)
Could you not have taken the corrupt cwu leaders with you?
