This happened this morning and kind of took me by surprise.
I recently started work for the first time in four months, cash was getting short.
Im working for a recruitment agency who has sent me to a company that gardens for a city council.
Gardening and upkeep of local parks for just over minimum wage, fine.
For the most part I've been enjoying this job, my coworkers are all of the attitude that “we don't get paid enough for this shit” so there are a lot of breaks, we sit in nice parks with beautiful views, do minimal work, go grab food or take a shit when you want, we even just sometimes sit in the truck and Play Pokemon on our phones all day, making the company work for us but still getting some work done.
Little pay = little work
This morning I get to the compound where we meet to get into our trucks, everyones grabbing tools and working out where they'll be, when a higher up middle aged management type comes out the door towards me “have you got friends?!” comes barreling from his mouth.
“Uh no, not really”
“Call em up and tell them to contact us for work”
I asked how much it was paying and he turned and left without saying anything.
Fuck you mate! Heaps of work around.
The mates I have deserve better.
I dunno guess I'm ranting.
I guess that cock thinks thinks that he is doing me a favour by offering work,
Expects me to do HIM a favour by finding him workers.
