Have heard today of several service partners for whirlpool on £30.00 per warrenty call and 1 on £33.50 with the offer of an extra £1.20 as an increase.
Makes me so annoyed at the fact they would not offer me £29.00 but insisted I had to do it for £28.00.I’m so glad I have had the balls along with Bridie to tell them to find someone else.

Re: unequal pay
Ted,
Sometimes you can’t do anything else other than walk away, If they are prepaird to pay someone else nearly seven pound more per call, when you were only askin’ for an extra quid, it can only prove that your dealin with dros. Last year I was faced with a similar situation and It was you and the guy’s here in the war room that helped me out of the shit.
From what little bit’s I gleam from all the meetings we all attend is that the only little bit of security any of us can have is to try and stay as diversified as posible. A little bit here and a little bit there. I know it’s a pain in the arse running so many different systems but then at least you dont feel that anyone can hold you to ransome.
Just an opinion Sean
That is exactly why I’m now doing what I’m doing Sean, no account has more than 25{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} if I can help it but I like them at about 20{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of the business. That way I can tell any of them to fuck off at any time without lying awake worrying about it every night, I’ve long worn out that t-shirt.
If something promising came along that was bigger I’d simply open a new Ltd company and trade the contract under that, again if it goes tits up it’s a case of “I’m alright Jack”. That may seem callous, but it’s nowhere near as callous as some of the bastards that give us work are.
This Whirlpool thing and the NESN thing are two perfect examples of it.

Hehe, just watch the whole Whirlpool thing explode in the next few days.
More than that you really don’t want to know. 😉
