I already have done so, earlier in the thread
just been keeping my head low for a bit and seeing where this ends up going.
But seriously, whats the problem with someone offering a job ? albeit a minimum wage job to someone whos willing to work for minimum wage ? I mean come on guys, is it really gonna affect your wage ? No i didn’t think so.
I personally have experience in running my own business as a Self Employed Service Engineer. Travelling all across the midlands, I had to wind up the business due to overheads going through the roof. (Van conked out big time and was only just scraping a living as it was)
I sold what remained of the business (assets) to fund my HGV training, that also gave me a steady £500 p/month to fallback on , ontop of my wifes wages (£500 , which only just covers the mortgage payment). Anyway that extra £500 fallback ends next month, meaning i need a job, and now.
As has been said before, yes there are cleaning jobs for £6.50 p/hour. BUT what chance you think i have of getting one? I have applied to Bus companies, Schools to be a caretaker, and some other jobs to name a few.
So all i can say is , When the ZB hits the fan, you will do pretty much whatever you have to do to keep a roof over your families heads. And tbh, hats off to Gumbo for offering it to us, rather than just placing an ad in polish in the local rag. Give the guy some slack, as its not as easy as most people think running your own business.
Also dont suggest the dole as an alternative please. if anyone had thoroughly looked into it, Self Employed people who lose their source of income for whatever reason cannot sign on, and get dole. and as my wife works i cant get income based job seekers either.
