Salary Bump
Is that salary for real? Up to £30k to work full time nights :O ... ouch.
I suppose noone in the world actually works for < £100k anymore right?
Here.. have another
Don't worry, I'm just touchy as everyone wants everything handed to them.. no-one wants to work their way up the ladder anymore.This is the bottom rung position, as mentioned in the Add, ideal for a College leaver (ie someone with no/little industrial experience) who wants cut their teeth on the sector, and then move up!
I've no intention of sticking someone on the graveyard shift indefinitely, hell, I WANT to promote them off it in time, as I want to keep the staff for ever.. so it's in my interest to train, promote and motivate, but hell, SOMEONE has to do the shift
On nights they'll have plenty of time to learn and study.. Night shifts are where I learnt all I know today, and it's what helped me make the company so strong and profitable! And I can't very well put my best guys on it can I?
Without those nightshifts at my first employer to give me the time AND motiation to better myself, I'd likely be stuck in some middle-management role somewhere.
Work your way from the bottom, and the only way is up!

I'd blame the government, but then I'd get accused of being political by the

Jamie, if you struggle and want an agency to help, lemme know before you go out to the market! It's my company so I'll do you a super duper deal on a very small fee too
I've got a ton of CV's atm, but thanks, good to know for the future.J
and there was me hoping i was the only one.. You wouldnt want the role if you knew you were the only one.. everyone wants something more when they know others want it too 
don't start that game over here Edward!jonny5 said:
tbh jamie is offering a fair package, yes he's probably training someone for a career in IB but both parties are getting their fair value out of the deal
why would they want to join the vein popping high stress fraternity, when they could earn just as much here with alot nicer working environment Granted they'll never make the $m working for me, but the $x00k is easily done by several staffers already.
Anyway
it's too nice a day.. you guys should get out Taita said:
Has this been filled now Jamie?
Nope,ironically We've been super busy since xMas, so just havent had the time to get round to this yet ;(
Have some good CV's in though.. I want a short break holiday at the end of this month so I really want to have it sorted by then, but at this rate I doubt it (30+ servers to go live in the next week!)
