Ruy Santos Vice Mayor of Itanhaem Brazil

  
The man who cares about the people of the Itanhaem

The man that understands you and is always ready to hear what you have to say. I have known him for 3yrs and have nothing but respect for him not just as Vice Mayor but as a friend; he is a family man with a lovely wife and children and yet he does not prejudge people and he loves the people of his town, Itanhaém — a beautiful sea side resort in São Paulo State, where for the last 10 years he has served the public. I have found him to be kind and above all a Man of his Word.

He is a leader of Itanhaem´s present and future... he knows what is needed and will work to make this  town a far better place for all to live.

Hello again.


This is my second article on a stat agentts here in Brasil, this time I give the location of this group and number of shops, that they have and where they are, they cover Mongagua and Itanhaem in total eight out lets.

They treat there staff like dirt and, run the out lets  like Hitler ran Germany while they do not shoot staff for not tacking what they are told in cash a month in house sales, and not yet started flogging them dose not mean that this will not happen. As people here are killed  over jobs our attacked.every day.

They threaten them that if they do not take the right amount of more they will be sacked, lets face it they have all ready stopped paying there sale team, it is only the Managers that are paid now.

I know of one person who only started a week ago as a Manager and he has had to sack one member of staff, get him self up to date with whats for sale, and getting up to speed he has made the office more inviting for clients that go there.

The new member of staff that replaced the sacked one and he had only been for week and even he left you can expect all agents to tack the same mony a week if any some times, you have eight all showing the same house for sale, so if you are coming from SP you will stop at the first agent you see.

(To the owner I say get real things change are Know been there got the hat)

Yours Sir Richard John Price

It was brought to my attention that the work laws here in Brazil are very strong indeed, the employees that I have described before are self in employed.

And do have rights par say, but if they go to work for one company full time 6 days a week every month then that to me is not what I call self employed to me, self employed is working from home our your own place as a contractor that dose work for a set wage.

Not someone who is taken on with a contract on low pay which dose not conform to the minimum wage laws,
They have to work for commission this would be like waiter working in a bar our restaurants for tips only and workers at shops for commission only.

Works laws a Joke in Brasil ?






A stat agents here in Brasil, agents for selling homes stop paying staff the normal off the books wage and makes them work for commission only, Laws for for people here in Brasil seem not to exist and if so are not strong enough to protect the works. People can be sacked in a day a not get any pay from any work done, Laws are for show and not for the workers rights.

Take this one new manager starts he has to get to know whats on the books , the staff and then start dealing with people want to sell and buy, I know for a fact that selling a house is not ease at all I sold one years ago and had 15 people come to see it all with other house to sell before they could move if they wanted it, after all this was a cash buy from some one who had know house to sell.

I had over 15 people come and see the house and it was the cash buyer who fell in love with it like I did 3yrs before, he signed a contract and was classed as self employed and had to work 6 days a week, the other no contract self employed and again 6 days a week which means they can not work ells ware how is this good Law.

In your first month here in Brasil they want 30,000 from you from selling house, they expect you to make this or losses your job, the people that own these places have not got a clue about what they are doing just because there first branch made this our more dose not mean when they keep opening more that this will be the case for all of them, punishing staff and not paying them dose not help.

Yes the staff want to keep the job yes they work hard to sell homes but at the end of day you can not make some buy the house showed, you can be as nice as a Angel give the coffee take them out for a meal and even sleep with them in the hope they will buy from you so you can keep your basic pay and then get commission on top.

I say the law is a ass and the people who treat staff like dirt when self empolyed.

The con of having CDs and DVDs

The truth about CDs and DVDs and the players you need for them.



Some of us remember if from the UK a program called tomorrows world about new goods to expect and how they worked.


When the makers of the CDs said that these would last forever and play with out any problems, un like records and they even showed us by damaging them and then putting them on to play and yes they did.
(or was it changed over for a other one?)

So why after all this time is that when they are damaged they do not play properly if at all, they also said they would last longer than records when in I have found that it has been the records that have lasted better than the CDs.

And the same for DVDs they said that they would play even starched or but as we all now that this is just one more lie that they told us, and they did not mention that there would be six regions which means that if you buy a DVD in one region it would play others.

Video tapes only have two regions and cost less as well, secondly most videos players could play any tape that you had with out any trouble, so why do DVDs have six regions and that most players only play one, why do the film makers fell the need for so many regions, and why the makes of the players make units that will play all. Best of all  lets just have the one region for all, so when you buy from a other country you can play it at home.

(You see life is a con and never belive what is said by them.)
