Male, 34, Self-employed, retail sector. Salary €35,000. Perks; Free lunch! Receive plenty of free samples from suppliers - mostly from the wine wholesalers.
Arts Degree and nine years management experience in the pub/restaurant and retail sectors before I went out on my own, after being made redundant last year.
I work 6 days a week, but sometimes come in for an hour or two on the seventh day. I work from 9:00 to 19:30hrs.
I'm enjoying life immensely.
"We are such stuff
As dreams are made on; and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep." - The Tempest, Act 4, Scene 1
I'd hate to work all those hours some do here...
I was genunely only interested in seeing what Private sector wages were like. They should be higher all things considered. Extend the school year if you like -if it floats your boat, but everyone is paid for holidays in some shape or form. Sorry about that! Can i pay mortgage by giving the bank manager August? I could do a better job I reckon!
Simply showing you know what loing division is (left of centre) does not change that fact. I would have no hassle working longer weeks but you still have to pay me-pesky laws and all that! And then perhaps you might try to give me normal conditions like you have.ie Can we remove non performers teachers and pupils for good???!
Anyway-people are still chraging 2008 prices-dry cleaning a pair of trousers 10 euro? Doctor 70 fecking euro?!! Dont talk to me about car servicing. Private sector is a driver of high costs too as is public the other way. We are all connected. Once costs come down a bit more-you can cut my salary again-oh feck forgot the mortgage-yes its down but for how long?!
Just an update for those intersted, just after posting this two of my people were let go. I was informed 5 minutes before it happened and that more are to come. Also there will be a 15% pay cut for the remaining staff, beginning next month.Originally Posted by Gobuchul
