Before asking to be fair, relief should put themselves in the
hirer's shoe.
The best part about being a relief is that he can throw key
anytime he want. Wat security does the hirer have in this
aspect?
Asking yourself while asking for benefits of sharing free
rentals and all that, how much you prepared to give him in the
first place?
Most important of all, partners should try looking at each
other's good point instead of duelling on the bad parts.
As a night shift hirer myself, I got problem getting enough
sleep and that night work day sleep is also inconveniencing
everyone at home cos they got to try keeping quiet to let me have
some sleep. As such, I actually intend to drive day and get releif
at night.
But the thought of changing partner make me worry. While I might
not have much envied partners like CK and Khoon, my partner is
still ok la.
I bought the season parking myself, wash the car every other day
myself while he take care of the interior and check engine oil and
water in the day. He always come back 5.45 without fail when his
shift ended at 6.30. His only "setback" is that he refuse to take
seven days and he prefer day driving. He also make it know to be
that every few months he will go on a short trip and will pay me
$30 each day if he does that.
As I say, he might not be the best but every thing is still
worry free and I dun want to stir sheet out of nothing and ended up
with a even worst off partner. That's what holding me back.
While the relief has got the power to throw key anytime he want,
I think the hirer whould have his right to determine the price he
want to rent out. This of course can be affect by several
conditions like how desperate the hirer is, the feeling of "click
with each other" and most important - market supply and demand.
Just take a look at the CDG driver portal. Most hirer are
looking for day relief while most relief are seeking nght shift. I
can bravely said that even if i get go my night shift at $60, there
will be takers - supply and demand factors.
If the hirer can let go at $60, why should he do that at $50
just to be fair? it's the rule of willing buyer and willing seller.
In the event the relief might find another one able to give me $50
or even $48, u think he will just jump ship? By then, we should
have establisbed certain working relation that he need to weight
on.
So it fair that releif can throw key anytime while hirer can set
his conditons too.
If everything want to be fair, be hirer la, then you will see
things on the other side of the field.
