Yes mate, unfortunately walked out in temper on thursday
Ok you guys have little info here about this, the shop I worked at had a conversion, new shelves, tills, cielings, cladding on walls etc, the builders were straight from hell and finished nothing (which of course annoyed me having been in the trade), the floor was a complete fuck up, the boss wanted ceramic tiles and the builders turned up with vynil.
They latexed the floor..........well, it looked like an arial view of the alps
The boss is spineless and has no knowledge of anything cept shops so he asked if I could help out, I argued with the builders that they fucked the floor up, get this "Jon, you know as well as me you latex a floor and sand it level the next day"
To which I replied "bollocks, the clue is in the title , SELF LEVELING latex floor compound"
Anyway after a couple of weeks of the shop being 3/4's empty cos of these builders the boss asked me for the 4th time if I'd do the floor (I kept turning it down cos I knew it would go bad when it comes to paying)
I agreed eventually, spent 5 days 9am-1am laying this floor and fixing what the builders had fucked up, me and another lad agreed £700 each cash to do the work.
The work was done, it looks fine.........when it came to paying the boss said "Oh no you said £700 altogether" , so more arguments ensued and we eventually settled on £1000.
He paid a week later...........£700.
That £700 was split, I got £250, Azz got £250, Azz's bro got£125 and a lad who helped a bit I gave £75.
We hired a tile cutter on my fathers jewson account, the doepy twat did'nt take it back when I told him, so the bill for that was £176.08.
When I asked the boss for the money he told me that it was my bill and included in the price.
I said "So I got £250 for the floor, minus £176.08 leaves me £73.92 for laying 90square meters of tiled flooring and dissmantling/reassembling shelving etc"
He simply said "Yes"
Told me I should get half off Azz (who's just had a baby and moved into a new house and who also left the shop for similar reasons)
This is not even mentioning the fact that I saved him £1500 on the tiles AND stopped the builders taking him to court over money owed for vynil tiles and a thousand other things I done for him and the good of the staff and business free of charge in my own free time.
Add all that to the contents of my letter of resignation and I think you can sorta see why I'm a bit pissed off with him.
Jonno
