AValon Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Match Day Steward. Necessary, but on a par with Traffic Wardens and as popular as the proverbial 'floater in the swimming pool'. Do they get paid? Or is it a calling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterms Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Care worker at nursing home.. Awful job, minimum wage, have to work crap shifts, can get punched/kicked/scratched by patients and have to wipe people's asses That's not true. Looking after pets is not part of the job.

Rodders Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 my mate's a care worker - he's doing it for experience as he's decided to properly retrain and become a doctor ( he's 27 now so long way to go ). He's got the aptitude for it, but I couldn't do it tbh. The turnover is so high as well, lots of people quit apparently - at least where he works, he does complain about the shifts at times, but I try not to mention that if he wants to become a doctor he'd best get used to it! Though he does get some cracking stories from it with some of the older chaps regaling him with stories from their lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voinjama Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Being a bin man you would need a 30 minute shower after each shift. You must of stank to high heaven. Why? they don't actually touch any rubbish and get provided with gloves and an overall. Oh come on, some of that crap is going to rub off on you. After doing a 5 hour shift collecting bins you would stink, not as bad as a sewage worker, but you would still stink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted September 17, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted September 17, 2013 Binmen have been quite well paid for years. My dad spent his career as a carpenter for the city council and even when he was starting out in the early 70s binmen were amongst the best paid manual council workers and also had the best contact package.

After doing a 5 hour shift collecting bins you would stink, not as bad as a sewage worker, but you would still stink. No more so than a session down the gym, and less so than in some other professions. All the rubbish in in wheelie bins. These guys wheel the wheelie bin (as long as it's not over full) to the back of the truck and it gets pulled in and emptied. Theuy then wheel it back to someone near-ish where they got it from. Relatively stink-free. Nothing a 5 minute post work shower wouldn't fix. At circa 30k a year, it's good work, if you can get it, is over the average national wage, and requires little in the way of 'qualifications'.

mjmooney Posted September 18, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted September 18, 2013 Binmen have been quite well paid for years. My dad spent his career as a carpenter for the city council and even when he was starting out in the early 70s binmen were amongst the best paid manual council workers and also had the best contact package. It always used to be the case that there was a lot of racial discrimination on the bins - it was a well-paid job, with thieving perks, and the white guys made sure they had a monopoly. You never saw a black or Asian binmen (not sure if you do now, come to think of it). So I was rather surprised when I went to the USA and found that (in Baltimore at any rate) ALL the binmen were black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would hazard a guess that said occupation in the states is not so well paid .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
