The real reason that I am pissed off is he went and bought some really good jobs that I could of made some money out of but when I saw his prices I very quickly realised that a) there was no way he make a dollar out of the job and b) he had taken on too much work. Which brings me to my next point. Generally speaking (although I am pretty sure this is the case here to) a lot of people out there have tried to grow their business too fast. They have financed themselves up to the hilt and built this machine that they need to maintain turnover just so they can keep payments up. It is a vicious circle and an incredibly short term view. As for Karma biting me on the ass, if this is the worst thing I have done or take pleasure in seeing a competitor fall over I think I am going alright. As for the other staff at this particular organisation I still maintain that anyone in WA who wants a job and is willing to work will get one. Might not be their dream job straight away but at least it will put food on the table. Also the work still has to be done by someone so no doubt whoever picks up the half finished contracts will need additional staff. Brendon

Suddenly client's expect the jobs to be done at the same price that the other mob went broke on, guys expect to be paid to do nothing and have every perk in the world and it ends up stuffing the sector up for a while. And don't worry Brendon, I agree with your karma story on that guy. Had plenty of them through in my time. Problem is, you can't explain the story properly on a forum for others to understand.

I have this problem with my Sales support girl... she's 19 and wants a six figure income but is constantly pulling sickies and works at about 50% capacity.. she then tells me if she doesn't get a raise she will leave.. I just said... up to you :-) You know this is an awesome job and I challenge you to find a better one that gives you less stress for the same money.
Kid's these days... expect everything and do f*ck all. |

I do 11pm-7am, 5 nights a week, and my weekends are Tuesday and Wednesday. Yeah, you heard that, I lose my actual weekends, for work. and I'm only making around 1400 a fortnight, before tax. However at 19, I cant complain. only reason I do it is because I have rediculous amounts of opportunities to grow in (Hospitality ftw). In saying that, it's a dog eat dog world, and Karma shouldn't ahve a play. You do what you gotta, to get infront. Selfish but true. |

Concierge at a hotel, (Duxton). Yeah, its a piece of piss job, and I get to drive some nice cars, even though I only drive them a few hundred meters
In saying that, the downsides are rude pricks of guests, and the shit hours in which I sleep all day, work all night, don't see my mates on weekends. But so much room to grow in this industry so its worth sticking out. |
