Starting a new job.

[Boothbabe]

A few days ago I was recommended to a medium sized shipyard for a job. It's owned by a couple and they're looking for someone to help with the day to day running of the company and because I've always worked on shipyards ever since my first job I'm a perfect fit. They also want a younger person with a lot of energy (that's me :nanner: ) and the lady who owns the yard with her husband wants a woman (I like positive discrimination :nanner: ) and they also want someone who isn't afraid to speak up (me again :nanner: ). It pays a little less than what I currently make but it's only 10 minutes by bike to get there from where I live. At the moment I spend about an hour and ten minutes a day to get to and from work so that's a huge improvement. The hours are also much better. At the moment I work from 7.30 to 16.30 and they work from 7.00 to 16.00. The only down side is I have a month's notice so I have to wait a while before I start. All in all this is a very good oppertunity for me

I fucking envy you stuck in my shithole as a job 'till I qualify as a teacher.

That's a big improvement (time wise), are you an avid cyclist as well? Hope it works out for you, congratulations.

Yeah, good luck to you that sounds great. :thumbsup: There's nothing worse than being in a job you don't like. So cheers, hope it works out. :glugglug:

That can't be good for young impressionable minds :1orglaugh

Yes, I love riding my bike. I rarely use my car @ home and if the job works out I think I'm going to sell it. My wife also has a car for work so one is more than enough.

It's not that I don't like my current job but this one is close to home and I get a lot of responsability so it was an easy decision. I also want to start my own company in a few years so this will be a great learning experience wich can help to realize my goal.

(Working for someone else sucks no matter how you look @ it)

The land of make believe is about the only place a lot of us would be able to get a job as bad as things are now.

You'd better watch out for those ''mom & pops'' sized businesses as they tend to offer poor job security, poor wages and the minimum in terms of benefits.

Good luck with it, but I'd always keep a back up plan in mind should things go south on you.

It's not a mom & pops sized business, they have 45 people working for them and they've been in business for 23 years. I've also talked to some of the people working there and some of them have been with them since they started so they must be doing something right. As far as wages and terms and benefits go, that's all laid out in the collective labour agreement for shipyards wich they are legally bound to. It's not like in America where it's every man or woman for him/herself. In the Netherlands workers are actually protected by the law
