BareNecessities
Don’t let it get you down Nef, the last few years I’ve been working for a firm that lists me as a ‘hand worker’ (living in Germany). In Berlin you get that ‘looked down upon attitude’ but outside of the city they love it! Had to get a visa because of Brexit and was shocked how impressed they were that I was a manual labour worker. Most of the clients I deal with are folk that have bought apartments ranging from 1m to 4m€ and the crap and attitudes I have to deal with is sometimes ridiculous (often a tad rude). I always wear an old hi viz jacket, dirty overalls etc so they take me seriously 😂. It’s that whole judging a book by its cover type thing until they notice I’m wearing a Rolex Batgirl and drive a Rangey Autobiography as the company car.
