went to college, miss having a degree though, its a filter for most agencies.
tried cleaning during college decided 50+ years doing that would drive me mad so bucked my ideas up.
I think key to this is for many casual low paid workers work is optional due to benefits.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

Originally posted by Spacecadet View PostProbably says more about agency cleaners than people on low pay.
Try asking around and seeing if you can get a recommendation for someone you can employ directly.
On pay, look at the ads for cleaners in your local rag and agree on a rate somewhere in the middle.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment

It's a good business in recessions...
The labour element becomes easier to recruit and the level of enquiries from potential customers seems to stay the same.
Most people choosing to obtain a cleaner are pretty affluent and are not really buffetted by economic downturns.
Also, when a woman is used to having a cleaner - it takes some serious thought having to tell the missus she has to start cleaning the bogs again!!
It's an easy sell - BUT the issue is the cleaners...

Originally posted by psychocandy View Postnow this week says she cant make it because its her birthday and she wants to go out for the day instead. WTF! I'll try that next time client wants an urgent roll-out of something and see how long I last.
If I was cleaning for a living I'd probably want to take my birthday off too rather than cleaning someone elses skids. I don't think that's unreasonable. Perhaps we need an "Attitude of people on high daily rates" thread, complete with inordinate amounts of exclamation marks.Comment

Did get to see a lot, and also get involved a lot too lol.
Funny days looking back on it. Everytime I make noises about leaving IT again, I remember what this was like.
You should have had a bit of fun sysmanComment
