Another incentive to stay lazy

[TheBikerStig]

Just came across this:

https://jobsearch.direct.gov.uk/GetJob.aspx?JobID=7240473

Seemed like a normal average paying job...........until I read the wage. Who the fuck in their right mind would apply for a minimum wage job with those requirements? Is there any incentive to spend time obtaining FLT licenses and other experience in return for minimum wage? I could get minimum wage jobs that are far less demanding. Most likely why the vacancy came about in the first place.

Because FLT driving is no more difficult than packing boxes of fluffy toys for amazon on minimum wage.
In times of desperation I have done FLT jobs to get by, it's piss easy and has always lead to better jobs.

If they are willing to invest the time and training to put you through your FLT, it's probably worthwhile. FLT for reach and counterbalance is £££. As long as they don't give you 'in house' licences, which is what they used to do.

Fork lift truck driving is a boring tedious repetitive job and best left to people with little imagination. No reason why it should attract premium pay.

Anything that I'm forced to do over and over again for 40 hours a week would become boring and tedious after a while, even making love to hot women (ok that was a bad example )

Im doing a job for the same wage I was on about 8 years ago, a massive cut in pay compared to my last job.I know that in a years time i can start looking for operations Managers positions on nearly double the money.

I know the boss has me doing the same job as his last operations manager for 8k a year less and the company are known bad payers. Its better than the dole and i can now hold my own discussing most commercial diving stuff. Im being positive. Its a means to an end.

This won't be a FLT licence that you can take anywhere else with you to another job. It will basically be an "in-house" licence in the form of some training on site. Just a case of an instructor giving you a half hour assessment.

FLT jobs are not that well paid anyway, it's not hard, it's not considered a "skill" and certainly isn't gonna get you £9 an hour for a day job.

I get roughly £9 per hour as a warehouse operative, but my main duty is using the FLT reach and we get an extra £60 per month for it.

It's repetitive and tedious, really really boring job

we paid for my other half to get his 16 tonne one as the basic 3 tonne money was rubbish.
, hes worked constantly since but also now has several other categories including overhead crane, moneys not bad either but then hes in oil and gas which does pay a bit more.

Its ridiculous something like FLT even exists. My first proper full time job was when I was eighteen driving a 7'1/2 ton lorry. They didn't even ask to see my licence ad I was out on the road.

[stickybackbob]

I've been looking for part-time work for a while (finally found something) but I would consider applying for this if it was in my area. The reason I would apply is that the jobsearch site is absolute shite and just because it says 6.31 to 6.31 doesn't mean that the employer is actually going to pay that.

Had a short term job last year that was advertised as 6.31 but when I applied, I found they were actually paying £9/hr. All depends what you can drop to at the moment as there's more to work than just the money and you don't have to accept the offer if you get the job as long as you have good reason not to (or completely cock-up at the interview if you find out that you can't afford to take the job)

[nick606]

The more worrying thing is its a shift job and its 12 hour days and its still minimum wage. Normally you get a bonus for working shifts and normally get a bit more for FLT stuff as has already been said, the employer is taking the piss.

I used to drive a fork lift truck, got shown how to do it in a tea break, and that was that.
