Re: Work
after being unable to work through disability for 8 years I finally struggled to get back to work and took a brilliant job in July. I am very poorly paid, less than the minimum wage, have had to go self employed but wouldn't change things. My job has huuuuuuuuge prospects, my boss pays for my car, all except the petrol and frequently gives me extra when he can. It's hard to explain but he has another business that he is a director of which has been running 30 years which he shares with his brother, I am employed separately as he is going into side projects on his own, and at the moment he can only pay me a basic wage. However we have just had one of our projects approved for home office testing with a budget of a quarter of a million. Once it passes (which it will) then the company will be officially launched and i will be given shares. When we float the company I will be handsomely rewarded for my loyalty. Oh and I get to go to work every day in a stately home

Re: Work
Last month we had Tre Azam from the apprentice here as an inspirational speaker for a group of 50 college students that we did a seminar for. He was great, I had to pretend I knew who he was though, did my homework the day before, cos I have never seen an episode of the apprentice!15-12-2014, 11:48 PM
