What is the annual salary for working in Dew Valley Meats Tipperary?

DonnaMarieAva

I got a job today working in production. However, I wasn't told the salary. I didn't ask either because I didn't want to look like I only cared for money. Someone told me that you only get roughly €9/h. That is not a lot. But that figure was from a couple of years ago. Does anyone have an up to date figure? Thanks

It's not going to be much better if it was 9 euro p/h a couple of years ago to be honest.

You should have asked. If a company I was looking to work for looked down on me for asking a basic question, I'd be thanking them for not picking me so that I wouldn't have to put up with such assholery

Sure you may as well give your name, I mean I doubt they hire that many people so it's not going to be really easy to find out who you are...since you're not from Tipp and all

Oh hang on...

DonnaMarieAva

She called me up that night asking me to work. My contract of employment wasn't even drawn up! I declined. You're right, it is €9/h. Not good for hard labour and long hours. I turned down the job offer.

Love that in this day and age we as a nation can still turn down jobs that are above minimum wage.

Best of luck finding your dream job Donna, I hope someone snags that job you turned down

Woah! I just know what I want from life! I'm only 19. I don't want to work in meat factory for the rest of my life! I turned it down because I will not allow myself to be taken for granted. They have a reputation in the Thurles area for taking advantage of their employees. Lots of my friends have had jobs in there so that's how I know. Someone else can take that job. Someone who has a mortgage to pay and children to feed. I don't have commitments like that. So how about you quit judging?

Who said you had to work there for the rest of your life? It's a job, not a career...

Get out of this ****hole, there's no future here for a 19 year old.

its exactly because of the current "paradigm" as you phrase it that you should be grateful for any job offer..their are plenty of people on the dole that would love a steady job at 9euros an hour...but hey

€9 an hour is a good rate for a 19 year old, I wouldn't like to be feeding children and paying a mortgage out of it though.

What job would you do OP, and how much would you expect to be paid for it?

If you had read the thread properly you would know that I am not unemployed. Seriously!

If more people had the sense to refuse crappy paid jobs then employers would have to increase wages, but its a race to the bottom in ireland people falling over themselves to work for minimum wage, there is more to life, the op is dead right €9 is 35 cent over minimum they are hardly throwing money at them,

i had a guy in work one day, asked who supplies a certain product to us, i mentioned the companies name he said i will beat their price i guaratee it!, what the hell is the point in that trying to beat a price he didnt know=race to the bottom,

Play To Kill

€9 an hour is hardly a race to the bottom though is it? It's more than the UK at £6.31 an hour or in the OP's case as she's 19 she would get £4.98 an hour. I don't see the problem with the guy who offered a better price for a product either, sure don't we all complain that things are already too expensive as it is?

You have a commitment to society in the form of contributing and taxes.

Or move to a country where the minimum wage is not as generous as Ireland.

Increasing wage costs further would just drive more jobs out of the country.

As someone said previously this is a job not a career. Apart from a wage you gain experience and something to put on the CV which adds value it?

In fairness your original post does not state you are in employment. Only in a later post did you say

But I'm not on the dole...

Just because someone is not on the dole does not automatically mean they are gainfully employed or paying PRSI/PAYE etc.

Wow a lot of people taking a high ground here ....its up to you at the end of the day if you take or don't take the job ....I wish you all the best in your future employment !!

yes but you left out the other post where she said she wasn't un-employed, if people would read the full thread before posting a reply,

here you go

I apologise my post may been a bit over the top, it just bothers me because the state the country is in it is seen as insane to refuse/leave a job, meaning employers can do whatever they want because they know peoples choices are limited,

people need to call it themselves i suppose,
