i was getting £20 a day when i worked for another window cleaner(trad)cash in hand while i was on the dole many years ago!

.....until i got £1200 together to buy my first van then i was out canvassing virtually every day for 6 months!

you do what you gotta do at the time.......

Im confused as to why the question is asked at all, as in, why are you questioning your own worth on a public forum. Your either happy with the amount or not and if not renegotiate the terms its as simple as that.

Its also irrelevent to how much the owner is making because its his business, he his the boss and asked if the employee is happy with those terms or not.
Its one of those issues i get fed up of hearing,  people going on strike over pay.  You go for a job, they tell you what you have to do and how much you will get paid. You either say yes please or go for another job. Its that simple. You cant take on a job and then moan at the pay, its not crept up on you, you had a choice.  Same here,  you was happy to say yes when the owner told you and now that youve found out how much he is making, you question your own worth.   Feel for all the cheap labour in china etc who work for pittance while the big bosses live like kings.

Do you expect a person to work for the same money forever ? plus most strikes start because the employer has moved the goalposts, think before you post (roll eyes)
