anyway, i want to ask sifu2 sekalian here ya.. apologies in advance for the long post..
i got a friend he do grab. he told me he one day earns about 300~400.. On good days can earn up to 400, on not so good days he earn say 280++..
So lets say average he earn per day is 300 la.. He drive 5 weeks a day. He quit his normal job to do grab full time. Currently he is driving or working i should say about same amount of hours as he was working in office before this.. Monday-Friday, driving time is different he say he do morning till noon, then take break and continue evening till night time.. but estimate he work around 10 hours per day..
So based on that 300x5= 1500/week so 6k per month he earns. after minus grab commission he get 4.8k.. He told me his car loan is fully paid, so he only pays for petrol and maintenance every now and then.. I not sure he use how much petrol a month but i guess around 800 can cover for petrol? or lets say 1k for petrol..
So my question is, therefore he earns 3.8k per month nett.. I think that is quite decent no? About the same or even higher salary than fresh grads.. He told me if he wants more money that week/month he work on saturday/sunday or work longer as well..
My question is just this because from my POV it seems this grab job for him is quite sustainable.. For more clarifications: He is living with family and he has a gf so he does spend on dating and stuff.. So i want your thoughts on this since you guys are more experienced than me.
he will be running about 7000 to 9000 km per month to earn that 6k...so every month need to change engine oil
Seriously i dont see how he finds TIME to spend with gf..per day drive 12 hrs..sleep 8hrs..
Its a shitty job...it can never come close to a actual "job" with medical benefits,promotion increment,prospect,annual leave...i have been in actual job 20 over years and made mistake to resign to take up another job only to discover it didnt suit me and had to resign and as no other source of incomrle i resort to do grab past 2 yrs..and regret it..still looking for a job n will never look back to grab as full time
