Pi$$ed Off to be Polite...

Postby Beardy » Mar 22nd, '07, 22:45



just come back from work today. I worked at the NEC show in Birmingham last weekend. did 36 hours, and had 9 hours sleep over the weekend because of all the extra stuff we had to do. I personally made them about £2000, not including the other 7 people who worked there. How much did I get paid for it?

£170

gee...thanks guys...that really makes me feel special.........stupid buggers...

Love

Chris

7 X 2000 = 14 grand.. I bet it cost more than that to go to the show.

I went with a small trade stand and spent 20K

yup - but we split it with ecco, so we didnt pay it all. two guys who decided to skip and go to the pub one morning got paid £300.......and the managers even admitted they took the pi$$....plus me and a couple others sold more.....we got £150, they do half the work and get double the pay. they arent even in our employment!

Take the education instead monetary reward and learn your lessons from this!

If you are letting someone take the pi$$ out of you who's fault is that?

It's like picking a bad spec - you can't blame them! :idea:
