ok can any one help me with thatcham labour times my gaffa is driving me nut's and being a right arse hole recently, i'v asked a work coluege and he said he just doesn't like me thats why i'm getting hassle, it's really stressing me out and i think he's just trying to get rid of me but would like some outside input to set me straight.

right today wasn't the best day i'v had but i did
a geometry on a 08 plate nissan quashqui
stripped a 07 plate rangerover, front and rear bumpers including bull bar and rear lights
fitted up a 57 plate fiesta, wing, build and fit front bumper fit headlight and beam set + 1 front spashguard
fitted up a 53 plate 206 cabrio top rear quarter trim 1 side, door handle lock and inside door trim, boot trim, rear bumper and rear spash guards and 1 rear light
put spare wheels on a 306 and a mazda 5
stripped a 56 plate corrola, door trim and removed door

ok i am new to this game really thats why i'm asking for your input cos i no alot of people on here own there own workshops but is that an ok 8 hour day or do i need improvement, i no i'll get honest answers on here so tell the truth, i'm a big boy now i'll just cry quietly to myself instead

 

i'd say it was pretty bloody good for an 8hr day..

 

What did you do after breakfast?

.

 

sound like 7.5 hours to me

no really sounds about right, wot about tea and shit break,were do they come in to it

 

If you were my employee I'd be more than happy with that, but I'm not in the trade, but sounds a lot of work that would take me a fortnight to complete

 

well i hope so thats what i'm here to find out i'm not a person full of confidence and get put down easy, but he's really doing my head in so need some outside input that i can trust not too be biased

after breakfast is when i went to sleep for the other 6n a half hours

and it's a nine hour day in hole just have 2 15min breaks and a 30 min lunch and i try to pop a poo in whenever i'm desperate

 

lol cheers for the encouragement but not owning a workshop doesn't help much no offence just i need workshop owners input cos they will no what the score is, hey well if i get booted out atleast i can get on with my own car

 

are you not best to have a face to face chat with your gaffer and see what the problem isi had the same problem before i worked self empolyed ps too contain your angry as throwing a hammer at the gaffer gets you sacked i know thisthen you have no job and when you go foor your next job interview it doesnt go in you favour

 

lol yea good advice with someone normal, but i think he just doesn't like my personality tbh it's a bit un professional but what can i do he's the gaffa, and well yes i nearly punched him in the face today but contained it for when i leave instead , he's been watching over me all day and it's really distracting and they are tooth combing my work, lets face it no ones perfect and they way they run the shop you can't be when trying to reuse old fastners and stuff like that, like having a go at me for a quarter molding not sitting against the quarter i got the blame for it but it was cos the molding itself was bent from the accident, it's just a loosing battle

 

Tell him in a polite manner to fuck right off.

trouble with people like your boss is..

they want all that done in a day.. but then they are the first fukker to moan when
either the quality isnt there, or the customer isnt happy.

 

i bet he'd be gob smacked if i did say that but it would then be followed by "why don't you fuck off instead" followed by me looking sad cos i'm trying to save for a holiday and can't afford the break from work, that's why i'm being good and sticking it out.

yea exactly he wonders why things are missed when he pushes us, and it makes it ten times worse when he's watching over you aswell, it pushes you too make mistakes.

but i will never forget him leaving the keys in a jag and the jag locking itself, followed by him sheepishly asking can i get into the car to get the keys out the ignition, so i will always no deep down no one is perfect

 

tell him he pays you to do a job which your doing , not to bully and pick on his staff ,then ask him what the problem is and if youve done anything wrong , if he says youve not done anything and hes just being a prick tell him youve been in contact with acas and that youve been to see a solicator informing him on the situation and youve been logging down all the harassment and you will go for victimisation and unfair dismissal if they fook you off. also is there someone higher than him , go and put a letter of complaint in if you can and cause him some shit , you might not make any friends with management but who cares your there to do a job at the end of the day.
my gaffer thinks cause he pays me ive not got the right to chat while working (fookin hard a might add)and hes a right sarky bastard , but he soon learnt as i told him to bollocks in front of everyone as no one else says anything (when hes in the room)and said iam big boy now and i can do 2 things at once , this was during a busy period of doing 10 hrs a day and sat and sun from may to oct non stop , to say i was pissed off was an understatement , there are only 4 working staff so we all have to pull together and do our bit but he still an ungreatful twat . he dont get the jist that i want to be at home at the weekends
hope this helps mate and things getter better
