I Got A JOB!

[TKpervert]

DAMN, FINALLY a voice of reason. Thank you for that R. Davis.

Factor has a job and a chance to prove himself. What's all the extraneous BS about ?

Good going Factor. May you be one of those who climb to CEO in 15 years and bail young with a golden parachute worth $85 mill.

And um... stay single. Don't marry before 40.

I've got a question for everyone! What the hell? I started a topic about getting a job and all you guys can do is insult my intelligence and than compare gas to what? I was just excited about getting a job and all you guys can do is post and whine on here? Jesus Christ I wonder why I even post on here half the time, most of my posts go unnoticed and no one ever replies, and finally when someone does reply they bring a bunch of people who cry about something I cannot help! I don't care! I got a job! Leave this damn topic and stop crying! I don't feel I'm getting cheated here, Its a lot better than getting nothing at all! Besides I heard that things overseas are a tad more expensive than over here, so who's really getting cheated? Besides if you want to cry about anyone getting cheated, than cry for the foreign workers who work in sewers and other jobs most American's wouldn't even touch!

Um... congrats about the job, but man... lay off the coffee or something...

American wages are significantly lower than ours, also their unions are toothless compared to say, the TGWU. Workers rights are virtually non-existant in the US, you can get the sack for virtually any reason on a whim of the boss.

However, as Kis says the cost of living is a smeg-load lower, so the money goes much further. Can you imagine the uproar if septics were told they had to pay about $7 a gallon for gasoline?

But to get back to topic, well done TF, I'm really pleased for you. I hated being on benefits when I was about eighteen, it felt like a fortnightly cattle sale going in to sign on. It's a first step to an indepentdant life. 😉


*LATE EDIT* Jesus, where did that spring from? An argument can start anywhere round here, can't it?

Hey Jim and Newcastle, I got an idea... follow me over to the P & R subforum... I figure economics will probably fit in nicely with politics and religion.

The name of the thread will be... "Labor Conditions: U.S. vs. U.K."

My starting point is... You chaps have to pay more for gas, but you get paid more for work, but... everything is so sodding expensive in the bigger cities of the U.K. that I have to ask... do the unions even make a bloody difference?

Alright... you know where to go for more discussion... Fancy a butcher's?

I've already put my overtly rude comments in that thread Jim (ps. the seventh wicket has fallen! ha ha! i'm delirious!)

As for the Bill Gates, other rich people idea. Yeah! Why don't they go over to one of these poorer countries and live in the most opulent and hedonistic way imaginable? Perhaps its because the bad publicity it would generate might have a slight impact on Microsofts profit margins?! Some people huh. Not buying the newer verios of Windows just because Bill has been exploiting the poverty of developing countries to satisfy his rampant sexual appetitie.

Ahoy, by selling that as part of their image, that's how Larry Flint, Mick Jagger, Sean Combs & several others got those big profit margins in the first place! Not that the Sultan of Brunei has any real competition, but there's still plenty of players in that croquet match. Oh, well, I blame video games.

Building a few hospitals & in return getting to tickle Miss Equador, Miss Chad or Miss Laos every 3rd weekend of the month, that's a win-win, I tells ya! I'm packing my bags as I'm watching my Sirius Satellite Radio stocks.
