Warehouse job for 800quid a week? Where
See me see better...where was this when I was in the UK.

Hello everyone,
Please I need advice.
I'm in a situation and i need advice on how to opt out.
So my uncle wife took advantage of my wife because of too much respect. (wifey bleeped up big time). We recently moved close to them because she's the one who helped us with COS. She recommended a cooking pot (salad master) as we needed to set up the house and kitchen, but i declined immediately after i heard the price (4200 pound DD payment for 4years for 5pcs set.)
During the chat, i discovered she'll get about 500quid referral and thats why she's desperate for us to buy it. The discussion happend about 3 other times and my response was no. My uncle got involved at a point and he also supported her wife because that's what they use too but i insisted. Then she turned to my wife and start to convince her but we'd already discussed and it was a NO.
Fast forward to a month after, my wife was in their house sleeping, she then woke her up only for her to see the pot has been supplied, and they were already cooking with it for her induction and to use it. In the prescense of the supplier, my wife tried telling her we've already discussed this many times and we were not interested but she cut her and told her since they were already cooking w

I got to know that day and i got mad at her, how can you let her lure you into a 4k financial engagement despite several discussions, she just dey cry and she was preggy....
Now, COS no get shift, there's no work in cardiff at all and all the load is on me. DD is 94quid per month and it's choking.

Here is my question, is there anything i can do to opt out legally? we're 6 months into the contract and it feels like forever, i dont mind losing 1k just to opt out, but i dont wanna do this no more... We can't afford with the all the bills and expenses we already have.

It's tiring...
I look forward to ya'lls suggestions

You wan break ya aist eh?

AgentXxx:
No be for life now, few months or years no go break waist and trust me they are also soft works in there oo. Just know your way and make friend with your manager . I was majorly in the packing department.

Ralphlauren:


People should learn to always research and apply common sense.

If the salad master pots are SO FANTASTIC as they claim, why are they not sold online, in shops or even amazon ??

They perpuate their scam by this referral/direct sales method.

They claim their pots prevent cancer, etc.

I remember looking up the website years ago and when I saw their CEO with a full blooded nigerian name i knew they were up to no good.

They actually make "forever living" sales agents look lie saints.

I don't even know which is upsetting me the most - the price of the pots or the fact that his wife took a finance deal with full interest to buy them.

Wow! Make I dust up my CV for them

You fit no survive to tell the story. From the tales I’ve heard

AgentXxx:
I came, saw and conquered and I no get two heads. Except you are a fake Nigerian. Koko be say,stay focus and know why you are working there.

AgentXxx:
You no need any special CV oo, just apply and September to December is usually called peak period and you get 500£ bonus if your attendance is topnotch during this period. Main thing I hate is is the break, it's for 30mins for a 10hrs shift

yolkman20:



Thanks for this,

Solumtoya:


Mine was 2 breaks of 30 minutes each. And yeah, they pay as much as £2,000 Welcome Bonus around November.

Funny how people are screaming of tales of waist breaking, "you no go survive"... LIES! One thing I noticed at Amazon is that Nigerians and Indians complain a lot! And they don't last long. It was good money and the job didn't need any heavy-lifting. It just needed speed and many people complain about that as they wanted to rest or sleep during working hours. 99% of Nigerians left to Care Work because they said they could sleep during the shift or rest.

AgentXxx:
We that came late sef still met it oo in Amazon FC Dartford, some of us were making almost 1k weekly sef. Let me break it down . First four days for night shift is 13.5£perhr, then 5th day is 18.5£ then 6th day is 21.5£ max you could do is 59hrs. The sweet thing is the weekly payment. 😋

I heard DHL was even paying better.

Don't know about now

Let me blow your mind, when Amazon opened another FC and needed workers, if you agree transfer to the new FC you get 5k £ as Moving expenses.

Taal17:

Especially if the post cost 2900 but the deal for installments payment over 4years adds 1100 to it.

Hilda got her pots cheaper I'm sure cos there are great brands for good cookware that will last you years.. Besides Hilda is a chef

These guys are barely finding their feet , that's not what you 'promote' to them

AgentXxx:
I totally agree with all of this and that is why you will see Romanians topping everywhere in ware house jobs, I moved more with the Romanian than the Nigerians, Indian and Pakistan who are always complaining .
There is even room for promotion , A Ghanaian friend I made while there is now a manager in less than 5years and this was majorly due to his consistency and also getting a good rating which has to do with speed.

it took just a little under a month to come full circle..lol. Na to go change some dollars soon enough make my ticket no cut like last time. Na you give me ginger make I still wait🤣

No matter what people say about Amazon I can never bad mouth that company. It was a life saver and lifeline for many newcomers including myself. Working with Amazon made me help to pay up the balance on time of my spouse sch fees. It’s the major reason I never had any financial hardship starting up in the uk. I only stopped working there when I got my corporate job with one of the big 4.

Amazon is awesome and I think their contributions to humanity is under appreciated. Am never ashamed to say I worked there and the benefits I enjoyed and so many people can say same too.

I believe my uncle's wife is a friend to the lady who supplies the pot, she works with a company who owns a franchise with salad master. So she brought the pot to her house when my wife was there and as standard, they have to use the pot to cook for you in your house to educate you on how it works
and all of that. We moved it all to our apartment that same night.

We paid for our COS ni o, it wasn't even free.

On spot, you'll them set a DD for monthly payment. The pot itself if 2900 while the total payment after installment is 4200. I have been keeping mute just to avoid issues but it's getting choked.

yolkman20:

We are not staying with them, we’re just 5mins away from one another. The lady who do this thing na my own Egbon wife o, not my wife. It’s crazy man.

hustla:



I hope you're observing

Na that 1k rate me sef dey wait for laidis. E dey always bursts my brain that I bought a watch for 1k USD in 2014 for ard 150k, but will soon exchange that same 1k USD in a few days for 1million naira. Nigeria, ha!!!

lavida001:

Una no rate us on this forum at all. 4200 for pot na wa

Globalshaper:
It’s true, please.
Salad Master is so expensive, they don’t display it in any store, they demonstrate to potential rich prospects to sell it.
One may never hear of it if you are not in a certain income bracket because the marketers carefully qualify their prospects.

missjekyll:
I would probably be thanking the EU for providing the worker protections that made it a pleasant experience for you. Amazon staff in the US have a different story to tell. Left to Bezos, you get nothing.nada.zilch

Are you really justifying this? You must be the uncle’s wife

Globalshaper:
No now!
Please read my response well!
I am practically angry with the whole wicked set up self.

Treadway:
no he is not. Re-read his post and his previous post on the matter. He is merely clarifying and providing some info, NOT justifying or supporting the rip-off. Infact he encouraged the OP to fight in his first post.

Treadway:
lol...still hodling🤣

See a post I made earlier on the matter

davide470:
Because you have a "fantastic credit rating" and being chased to apply for credit cards does not mean people (especially new entrants) should get interest free credit cards and cancel every 3 - 6 months. It might have worked for you but that does not mean in entirety that it is the right thing to do as a new comer.

The same way someone earlier inferred that, as they got post study visa within 2 days, that should be the norm.


The advice was for me. I followed it and it worked. I didn’t understand why you seem so hellbent on carrying this argument.
