No, after going through about 500 cv's and offering the job to over twenty people we finally got 2.Originally Posted by Doozer

I suppose if you look at it from their point of view for example say f tehy have kids
Thats 450 - say 200 for crech- 50 for car parking that leaves them with 200e same as teh dole and teh loss of any medical card. mortage allowance etc
Still though as you said teh possiblility of boosting your potential earnings (through commison I suspect) would be fairly attractive

we cannot continue to describe this as capitalism, though.

I see your point, but it's not commission, we give them a certain minimum sq. metres to do in a day, 220 to be exact our best guys do anywhere from 300-400m2 per day easily in a nine hour day five days a week and go home every week with around €900 possibly more this time of year.
this country has a serious problem at the moment, we are paying so much out on social welfare to people who just don't want to work!!
that's my experience anyway

yes! the dole office tried to compete with the factories/shops etc on pay-outs to families etc-
and the dole office has won!

€ 1600 per month children allowance.
And a 4 bed house.

Not too sure what you're saying there Mr Come.
I've had two guys leave, because they figured they would be better off on the dole. One on € 35 k and the other on € 50k
Dole plus a few cash in hand jobs.
And now I'm supposed to compete with them, where I pay tax.
Not exactly a level playing field
very true but it doesn't happen, even though we are told it does, i also had 4 people just walk out before christmas because the weren't happy with the overtime pay, €30 per fucking hour!!
I like most people self employed i know get paid less than the minimum wage when you take into account the hours we do, the 3 weeks before xmas i did 130-140 hrs each week.
I sometimes wonder why?

They are trying to bring that in
But again It can be harsh for some
Say again if you have kids or medical card or whatever and you get offerd a poxy job on the new minimum wage and end up loosing more working than you would on teh dole
Obviously it should be more enforced for the long term unemployed
Thise who refuse to work
