The Remastered Penis-Out: Now in SUHD

[Sheik]

Home from work hoorah. Gonna be applying for a job with my Girlfriend later today for assembly line work. Not something I envisioned ever doing but for £14 an hour I'll do it happily

Can I apply?

Prob's offer better health insurance as well.

[Milady]

Except Stark lives in the UK so they'll probably take £7 an hour in taxes.

£14 p/h you say, tell me more!

Taxing starts at anything over £10,400 per year I think it is now.

[Stark]

I worked out I'd be about £8000-10000 better off after tax

Its for the new Jaguar warehouse opening in Wolves. Its a £10 start but its supposed to be a pain to get into. I thought "fuck it" my other job is paying me £9 an hour (just because I'm on nights, normally its £8) at the moment so I'll follow the monies

Logic, I have found thee.
Too bad I signed my soul life happiness time away.

Nice, I certainly wouldn't mind something like that. I'm on just under £8 p/h now but only have 20 hours a week.

They say the living wage is something like £7.35 an hour. I don't believe that for a minute.

Just fluffed up the manpower recruitment test. Did two tests and didn't manage to finish them in the allotted time. I'm assuming I needed to because they need people who can work quickly.

[Inferno.]

If that's the case, then why are most jobs only paying £6.50 an hour?

Because the bastards pay what they can legally get away with

[gezegond]

Be grateful there is a minimum wage at all. In many countries there are no such things and people have to work 16-18 hour shifts (including weekends) just so they can continue to eat.

Its pretty rough. I reckon people would riot if they tried to take minimum wage away here.

GTG sorting stuff before work my girlfriend gets here. Catch you later gezegond and Inferno

The more things change, the more we realize the changes are never enough.
That and Baron Von Banksworth believes you don't need a decent cut of the money he earns through your sweat and time.
Capitalism for the win?

Depends what they mean by living. If you shop exclusively at Lidl, Poundland and Primark, feed yourself from the reduced to clear section at the supermarket once or twice a week, never eat out / order takeaway, live on a council estate, and have almost nothing in the way of outside expenses (medicine, children, subscription TV, expensive habits like smoking and drinking, travel, etc...), then I think you could probably keep yourself on that. One of my friends supported herself working a minimum wage at McDonalds for a year. But she wasn't happy at all, and had virtually no social mobility to speak of because she had no free time and no extra money to put away. So I'm not sure I'd call it "living" so much as just keeping your head above water. :/ It's particularly bad in a capital city like Edinburgh and especially London.
