Mod money isn't enough to live on, even living in Bristol. But a few hundred a month tax free never goes amiss

I'm not convinced about this at all... it might have the knock-on effect of not affecting work performance, but I think it's part of typically English respect for privacy and subtlety tbh. Plenty of other cultures with similar economies don't have such a problem with it. Transparency within companies is often done by the pay-scale anyway... if you're in any sort of a corporate structure, it wouldn't take long for someone to work out a rough idea of what you're earning based on your role.

The only people I ever discuss how much I earn with are my parents, my boss and my girl; nobody else needs to know a thing about it; only whether I'm happy or not. I wouldn't even compare with my brothers... actually... I can barely think of a worse conversation to have with someone that doesn't involve HIV results.

A few hundred, I didn't specifically say £200.

Basically we look after the day-to-day running of the site with various tasks and duties. In my case, my main role is looking after you lot. Kind of like having to teach a special needs class, but online.

Yeah yeah, rub it in why don't you. Not like I do more round here than you or anything

Not really a fan of numbers. And my quality of life would suffer.

I have. Also recommend the following films for you;

Wall Street
Boiler Room (inspired by Wolf Of Wall Street)
American Psycho (which you've probably already seen)

I work in construction and pretty much everybody openly talks about how much they're earning

I dont see the problem with it either tbh, if you want to keep it personal then fair enough but what difference will it make to anyone if i tell you how much i earn?

ezza · Post by **ezza** » Tue Feb 11, 2014 5:30 pm

how much do u earn?

and nice one wub ill check them out

Sheff · Post by **Sheff** » Tue Feb 11, 2014 5:37 pm

at the moment im on £135 a day, ten hour shifts at 13.5ph

but the rate can changes up or down depending on roles and competencies and who im contracted through. And nights and weekends are like a pound extra per hour

the next step up for me is 18ph midweek and 22ph weekends though tryna cop that

Once I've got this mortgage sorted out and the savings bumped back up, I reckon I'm gonna get on that contracting hype if there's enough work to go around fairly locally, get on the five hunned a day biz.

Sheff · Post by **Sheff** » Tue Feb 11, 2014 6:21 pm

contracting doing what garethom?

after being a contractor for a couple years now i could never ever go back to working in anything like retail or 97% of office jobs etc

its deff the way forward
