SlowPoke Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 its in every industry mate, i had 2 job vacancies which i've advertised for 5 months, only 2 turned up, one of them asked, '...well, i'm interested in the job, but can I book my holidays ....' ..... the second chap, stayed for 3 weeks, got a girl/girlfriend/friendwithbenefits etc pregnant and b*******ed off... all i can say is, these people are brought up in a society where they know they can fall back on BENEFITS.

Norman Verona Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 We have two new apprentices now. We also have a permanent member of staff who started two years ago as an apprentice. One of the new ones is from a home where they are all on benefits but he openly calls his mum and brother "scroungers" and works hard and is keen. He keeps asking if he's doing OK, and seems terrified we'll get rid of him. If he keeps on progressing as he has done so far he'll be staying, permanently and on full pay. It's so refreshing to see someone who really wants a job and is determined to do well. The other has only just started, but she is keen and is trying hard. However, they are difficult to get. Must have had 15 or more referred over the two year period and only these 3 ever turned up.I suppose we were lucky in that respect, 100% success rate (for those that bothered to turn up) ed to add: Steve, keep plugging away, the good ones are out there it just takes time to get them knocking on the door.

AdamR Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 yup I have come to the conclusion its me myself and I from now on As much as it sucks to turn down work... that is definitely the easiest way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M444TTB Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I can't understand not turning up. Even as a lazy teenager my parents wouldn't have let me do such a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterg Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I can't understand not turning up. Even as a lazy teenager my parents wouldn't have let me do such a thing. ^ this if you were nearer wuv I'd be up for this although I'm not exactly a teenager on a lot of my 'holidays' I go down to a friends 'barn' near Eastbourne and we work on cars and stuff (mostly unpaid too as they're his...) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Verona Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Problem is that some parents are in bed all day, smoking, drugs and alcohol keep them going. They have no idea what their kids are doing and care even less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrell O'Neill Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 yup I have come to the conclusion its me myself and I from now on In this day and age wuv I'd keep it that way. Dismissal rights, health and safety, holiday pay, sick pay and all the other entitlements mean I'll never go back to employing again.... If I was you, I'd try and find a more mature guy or even someone close to, or retired. They loyalty will be much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab (bombero) Reid Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 There's no incentive to work .. not when scroungers/lazy b******ds/shirkers* (*delete as appropriate) get more on benefits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Verona Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Bombero, read my post above. Thay are not all as you describe. I admit some are and it's those we see on the TV. But we have got 3 very good youngsters who really want to work and are making a very good job learning on our customer support desk (for dealer systems). A friend of ours daughter is at Uni. She is fundraising to pay £2500 for the privilege of going out to Kenya to work in an orphanage and climb Kilimanjaro. Apart from this she has saved up her fare and other personal expenses from working a saturday job. Funny thing is I never saw this on the TV.

Wile E. Coyote Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Are you sure it's not because of the mankinis? If you're not wearing yours they won't believe they're the official uniform! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Perhaps its because he is wearing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
