Ally Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 A salary is your annual wage I believe. I have no idea what my hourly rate is, but a year I get roughly 17 monkey nuts , 3 bottle tops and a fag end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but you don't work the nightshift in a monkey nut packing factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMouth Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 I once got paid in dishwasher tablets for advising someone how to import a database file into a Word document for a mail merge. I asked for a box, but they gave me an outer - 24 boxes I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAStewart Posted March 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 No good will come of it. Yes it will. People may see that people in similar industries are getting paid more than them and this will encourage them to try and get higher wages at their work through trade union action, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely when they stop working it ought to be called "inaction". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More amusing was when we discovered that although the MD was paying us 29p a mile to drive our cars on company business, he was paying himself £1 per mile. When he needed to see a customer in Yugoslavia he decided it would be "more efficient" to drive his car at £1 per mile than take the plane. Of course it would be too far to drive on your own so he took his wife as a consultant and paid her £1,000 per day. He had refused to give us a pay rise for the third year so we told him that we would contact the American owners and fill them on on his extravagances. We got the pay rise. I do like openness!
