Could be getting sacked, got pictures, please advise

[davrejonas]

Got called into to work today for a meeting, this was a first fix on a kitchen, had to do 2 that day and didnt get in the first till gone 11.30 so was rushing like mad, manager came in took some pictures and has gave us the following list, we had previously been told not to have more than one row of capping as outside zones so cables were bunched up, we were going like 100 miles an hour

pictures should be viewable at ImageShack® - Online Photo and Video Hosting
pic 1 fixing screw directly through capping causing burrs, any pressure put on wall on wall like tiles could result in breakdown of insulation and cables shorting out
cables ran with no protection against plastering trowel
evidence of sheathing being hammered to get into flat position pressure faults could happen
10mm earth cable stretched between box potential break down of continuity
pic 2 screw through capping i pre drilled this the opposite side to avoid sharps, you can see on pic
pic 3 wiring not protected
wiring crossed over causing potential pressure fault
cable held in position by screw,,,,,this was a wedge, i know its not great but not tight against cable
pic 4 screw through capping, no capping to protect cables crossed over,,, cable held in position by screw,,,,,,,this was a capping wedge then capping cut short
pic 5 cable no protection, chases very untidy.....

would like to know your thoughts, really wanna have a good argument for them tomorrow as got kids and cant afford to be dismissed, i know the screw wedge is bad but i think the rest are kinda just being picky

Picasso would be proud. A real artist, but I won't say one in a million. It's frightening to say that there may be others of the same standard, God forbid.

I know what it is all about... Dom littlewood just chased him and handed him the pics of his last job, he agreed an interview but looking for a defense ... Cowboy Builders

?? Op's name is daverejonas. Or am I missing something?

 

[Strima]

The thing that concerns me is how many instillations have been done like this and are lurking behind the plaster ready to cause mischief?

I am nowhere near as experienced as a lot on this forum but that takes the biscuit, I wouldn't even contemplate leaving a job like that.

Speechless.

 

[Swicade]

Maybe it's the Eastern European version of Rogue Traders?

Your only as good as your last job they say don't rush do the job right rather get sacked for being slow than rough and dangerous

 

[Farmelectrics]

Just had another look I'd start firing your cv round no excuse for that sorry

 

[Guest55]

I must say the forums' mood tonite is mean lol.
You lot must be shocked easily to be offended by the OPs' work , i've seen much much worse :-D
But im at a loss to say anything positive right now.

 

[Top Cat]

Thank God i am self employed and can take as long as i like!

 

[Farmelectrics]

Biff there's just no need to do a job like that you couldn't walk away from that could you

 

[Silly Sausage]

Hahahaa...your industry is &%£$ed!
Whether this is a wind up or not, that obviously exists somewhere.

 

[Farmelectrics]

Archly I feel a bit sad if he's got kids don't want to see anyone loose there jobs but makes you wonder what type of apprenticeship has he had

Probably not no , a bit of pride in youre work goes a long way. But.....
I've done exactly the same kind of work as the OP before and its not nice - conveyor belt kitchen refurbs in council houses on an estate , main contractor breathing down your neck everyday , crap money , working under the threat of getting sacked if you delay the other trades , grief off the tennants etc etc...
I did it for 6mths and without doubt the crappest job i've had.
Theres been plenty of times i've cut corners under pressure so i'm not gonna have a go at someone else for it even if the work is poor.
