Looks like my work might possibly be even shutting down. Been dead all year and barely ticking over. One boss is way too old and way too greedy and we've literally lost so many customers it's unreal.
So been told I might be getting the tin-tack soon as the place could go under.
A mate was wanting to do window cleaning and has gathered a big round but just can't do it all on his own, insurance is rediculous for him etc and I've now been doing everything I can for a few quid so have a fair bit saved.
Still going to be doing the car sales and they are great but it's a sideline. As is all the private work I do at the moment. I'll be pushing out cleaning and odd jobs to help with saving for some decent tools because I've been earning £25 for two years and in the last year £30 a day at where I work and purely been holding out because I'm getting the qualifications and tbf the experiance at this place has deffo been worth it. Not just the mechanical or bodywork but just general experience. Since I've basically been running half the firm on and off where certain partners weren't pulling their work due to personal reasons, even though I all along felt it was down right rediculous only being paid what I was the experiance has helped.
So wanting to get set up doing mobile servicing and window cleaning for a bit.
Who's got any experiance they want to share?
Have been told, get this I
can't leave yet but if it stays the way it is I might have to.
I asked why I couldn't leave and was told I was needed.
Like they can keep me there. So ATM I'm just saving to get set up and waiting to see if we pick up at the garage and apparently peak time is in a couple of months so I'll be announcing I'm leaving (if I haven't been made redundant) then to see if they want to give me a GOOD payrise as I will be fully qualified by then anyway.
I know they 100% will want to keep me if it picks up but I just think they still will want to pay absolutely nothing as they're extremely tight.
So any tips for starting on your own and expecially window cleaning?
Thanks.
