The What's Pi$$Ing You Off Thread

Oh you would have to work alright. and it's 40 degrees every day 12 hour days and 4 weeks on 1 week off. Still sound appealing

[BenDoCo]

All yours Marco

hahahaha Phuckers. No TA position for me thank you.. I can't deal with 40 degree days and manual labour. I am toooooo fat for that sh*te.

Yes I know it would do me good, but I am 40 this month and I am too old for that sh*te Tim.

My old man is a sparky and I did do my N3 and N4 college certificate in South Africa to be an electrical engineer. however I really do not know if I want to go down that path really.

When you have a wife and two kids, I don't think 4 & 1 is an option. you would come back from a 4 week stint and the first session you have with your misses would leave your DICK limp for the rest of that week. not worth it. I think 8 & 6 would be good, but 2 & 1 would be okay.

Finding out I won't be starting until January instead of next week.

Stupid bureaucracy is stupid

[Lennox]

Yeh I have a wife and 1 son.. It is very difficult and definitely not for everyone.. Big sacrifice

There's a reason why 13 have hung em selves this year so far..

2 and 1 is virtually non existent for electricians. But also the better the roster the worse the money.. You're taking more of the year off unpaid

[masda74]

Well if you do 4 & 1 and get the good money, the odds are you will hang yourself. What's the point of doing 4 & 1 then.

Would you not take the 2 & 1 and have better pay than the city jobs?

[Lennox]

Haha cos id never do that. And the difference between a good construction job in perth with overtime and 2/1 fifo isn't worth leaving my family for

[.Stripes.]

Our sparkies are on 8/6 and would earn upwards of $100k a year...pretty cruisey 6 figure salary and much better work/life balance than a city job and a sh*te load better than 4/1...

[Lennox]

Haha I wouldn't go away for 100k mate

[Kimberley Scott]

You do it in the defence force for half that.

Sorry to hear people hanging themselves.

But why. Find another job for f*cks sake.
