I agree it's not fair but it's the reality of a job at Gregg's for exampleFudge that. Exploiting young people, either pay them properly or forget it.

£20/hr more tin than most jobs. That you have to travel is the same for any job, if you’re too far then it’s not the one for you. All this putting the job down from people with no skin in the game does no one any favours.Fudge that. Exploiting young people, either pay them properly or forget it.
Again I agree but at £20 an hour they wouldnt be. That's more than double!Just because a bunch of crooks like Greggs does it doesn't mean farming businesses should mimic it.
Have you got any work going?
You made my day with that. I was having a crap day today.

£18 hour for night here only 1 person though so earn there crust, but same person been doing it 3 years they only live half mile away.Oh hang on... I am not sure it gets into the realms of exploitation. Local people driving 3 miles to do a milking on 260 max cows and getting 20 nights a month (£1200 per month). Who is out there who pays more than this for the third milking?
I guess if you have to drive a long way - you decide it isn't for you and that is the milkers choice surely.
I was thinking "Christ that's good money", I'm seriously thinking about selling my ewes after lambing to buy a house and go night milking, I haven't milked for 7 years but really do miss it now.Oh hang on...

I think we have to be carefull we don't get left behind. The most basic Morrisons employee is now on £10 an hour and that would give theml 4weeks holiday so closer to 11an hour for working 8 hours during the day.£18 hour for night here only 1 person though so earn there crust, but same person been doing it 3 years they only live half mile away.

18 an hour for skilled work at unsociable hours and probably self employed is fine as long as your current chap is happy but it probably won't be enough to find another
They announced it yesterday. There is also staff discounts etc on top.are they really? Mates an Aldi managed and they start them on £8.70. Yes they have option to moveup quick but still only £8.70.
Any decent manager knows all thatWhat we found motivated people was to actually make time to do the job they are doing with them, because as Bosses, we often fall into the trap of not giving time to our teams because we are overloaded quite often. The best time I found to do this was in the unsociable hours periods showing them you are prepared to be with them doing what they are doing at any time of the day or night, talking with them, what they did / like doing etc, plus seeing if they had any ideas on how to improve the current methods.
Oh, and a good one we found was, if you sense someone is a bit low in mood, turn up unexpected on a sh!t shift with a cake / pack of doughnuts and telling the person to go and have a break, cup of coffeee and put their feet up - and you covering them. You'd be suprised how well that goes down for good employees..

Look after your workers and they will look after you
A lot dont know itKnowing and actually doing something about it are two important differences...

I'd take the cows any day, no way do I want to deal with roads and people, but each to their own.Large dairy near me was on x3 a day and were looking for night milkers. 1 person does all the milking and fetching the cows in. £70 a milking, but takes 5hrs.
I think I’ll stick to driving trucks.
Quite happy to deal with cows, but not for that pittance.I'd take the cows any day, no way do I want to deal with roads and people, but each to their own.
Fair enough, but no amount of money would get me to work with people.Quite happy to deal with cows, but not for that pittance.
