thanks for today

“Thanks for today” or “thank you for today,” followed by offering a handshake means you have been dismissed. Commonly used in the UK construction industry where many are self-employed, umbrella PAYE, or agency & little notice is needed.

Thanks for today is brutal, passive aggressive & means you’ve probably been binned on your first day. Most UK agencies force a contractor to keep the subby for a full shift, so the end of the day is usually the earliest they can bin you. You will be lucky if you are given any feedback directly. If they give feedback to the agency, the agency won’t tell you but you won’t get any more work from them (blacklisting).

Shit managers & supervisors insult & get you doing demeaning tasks if they decide they don’t like you, hoping you walk & they won’t have to pay a full day (never walk!).

If they go thru a lot of agency workers, one of the subbies (with kids to feed) who works like he is on price (but for day rate to avoid the sack) will usually take you to one side & warn you early. If they’re wankers they won’t tell you until after.

If you’re working on a large job, lads will be sucking up, criticising, lying to the manager & bringing up their kids they don’t see within 30 minutes of starting. This is to milk the contract & so if labour has to be reduced, it will be you and not them. Be wary of anyone offering to share tools.

Pissed off, sacked agency workers sometimes discreetly damage work somebody else did in revenge, before they go

“Thanks for today, Mark.” *puts out hand for a handshake while staring through you* “do you have any feedback?” “No, great job!” “I was told this job was 6 months work?” “not by me!”

mad today, glad tomorrow

Old colloquial southern saying "Mad today, glad tomorow", means just what it says for instance if a neighbor, friend, family member with whom you are on decently close terms may come to misunderstanding over a slight or mishap perceived by one or the other and suffer hurt or injurious feelings to their pride, ego, etc. He/she would or will soon get over that and move on to resume their relationship (with hopefully, a better understanding of each other) again...therefore, mad today, glad tomorow! Not mad at nobody! Just sayin', sometimes a thing, matter/issue has to be put in check by making someone think about their actions that may have brought on the discord. Be Happy, Worry!

Miss Evie expressed her regret emotionally and out loud to the group of ladies who had forgotten to bring the cold salads for the spring tea buffet to which her sister Margaret who headed the sunshine committee, replied...mad today, glad tomorrow!
