This. If you don't like the shit job, do something else. Screaming gimmiedat while blocking people who also trying to make a living just makes you a cnt.[/quote]

Hi,
People don't choose to do sh*t jobs, sometimes it's all they can get to earn a crust.
The "I'm all right Jack, attitude in this country saddens me ".

cheers,
GAZ

A guy I worked with got sacked, which was unjustified but whatever, and ended up having to work for deliveroo. It was actually a very similar job except now instead of cycling around London in company branded uniform, waiting for a job to come through on a PDA, he was cycling around London in a different company uniform, waiting for a job to come through and was self-employed apparently.

Uh huh It's such shite work that people sub let their delivery job out so that illegals and undesirables can earn without showing ID

They buy them, £50 for a spaz box https://deliveroorider.com/category/kit Another really weird thing with the company I worked for, the gear was branded with their logo, so they paid for it.

EDIT: it might have changed 'The same driver said they normally only manage one delivery per hour meaning a £8 an hour wage under the old system and £4 under the alternative system.' Amazing

This smacks of the tube drivers going on strike because they wanted triple pay on Boxing Day. Why take a job, agreeing to the terms of the contract (i.e. you get double on Boxing Day which by the way is a very nice sum of money considering their basic hourly rate), and then later down the line hold the capital to ransom by going on strike just because you fancy a bit extra which you're not entitled to?

They know what they had signed up to when they took the job. Same as Uber drivers. If you don't like it fucking take up gardening or something.

I've took a zero hours contract in December to supplement my income from my business as I have guys working for me and most days there's not a lot for me to do once the admin etc. is done. It's driving gritter/snow plough lorries. The terms are one week on call, one week off. £125 per week for the weeks you're on call plus £11.34 per hour if you get a call-out (but the hours are always vastly rounded up, a run can take 1.5 hours and we always get paid for 4 hours). That's not fantastic money but it's a nice top-up. One thing I do know though, it's a zero hours contract, it's one grade up from being self-employed in terms of protection and benefits. If I can't do a shift for whatever reason, maybe I'm busy with my own business or maybe I've got something socially to do or maybe I wanna sit on the sofa picking my nose, it's zero hours so I just tell them I'm not coming in. They're not obliged to give me work and I'm not obliged to accept it, but they're not allowed to penalise me for refusing any work. If they did I'd be straight down the employment tribunal. But I accepted the terms when I took the job. I wouldn't take the job and then start demanding more hours or more money and going on protest if I wasn't getting what I wanted.

I'd have stayed in the van and pushed through at 0.5mph. Getting out was a bad move...

More bleeping out / censorship in that video than in a Radio 1 rap track.
