The website is sloooooow and garish.

Will it is on an cheapo shared server with 94 other websites using the same ip address.

Somehow I doubt he has the trademark he claims to have.

As discussed it was probably 'self employed' I wonder if the government is going to close that loophole? If it walks like a duck etc its probably an employee.

so he rips poor Doley's off. they lose their benefits.

The website is sloooooow and garish.

Oh come on, cost him £2 and hour to get that website knocked up!

Just couldn't stretch to the the last £6 to get it finished

Bob wouldn't do it for the money he offered, muttering something about slave wage.

Beggars belief.

Or does it?

So in the current climate, with people going to food banks who are on the dole and not getting paid - you'd risk your safety net for a job offering £50 a week in a dodgy startup on the promise that if he does make it he'll perhaps give you commission.

I know what I'd do. 10 quid a day is taking the mick thats not even 2 pound an hour.

Indeed, completely ridiculous.

However if I were one of those one the dole, I would have attended, signed contracts and a week later taken him to a tribunal and sued over breaking the minimum pay regulations.

Once many moons ago I tried to do cold calling telesales for a summer job. I lasted one evening. I hated it.

You have to have a skin thicker than Churchill soaked in vinegar and baked in an oven for 10 hours coupled with an 'I'm gods gifts' attitude to even think of doing cold calling.

I've done the same work before as well, truly soul destroying.

I cant believe Im saying this, but you're right about needing a thick skin. However the right aptitude is possible within everyone with enough cocaine. One telesales place I work in my youth got shut down a while after I left as the manager was pushing/dealing coke to all the staff to keep them happy and revved up on the phones.

I thought we liked entrepreneurs on here?

Clueful entrepreneurs we like clueless ones we don't. This one is distinctly amateurville even before he complained to a national newspaper during which he admitted to breaking the minimum pay act.

Even second hand car salesmen don't want to work, doooooooooooomed!!!

[suityou01]

Indeed.

The sun article shows the tagline "local dealers, local cars to local buyers"
Where oh where can you put in your post code or town ???

That guy is going to end up on the dole himself.

Initially I thought typical workshy bastards.

Then you realise it's £50 per week. So the 'He said he'd be better off on benefits' is fricking right.

The guy is a cold calling parasite. Once many moons ago I tried to do cold calling telesales for a summer job. I lasted one evening. I hated it.

So run by me again why it didn't work out for you?
