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

If it were me there wouldn't be a meeting mate, you'd just be up the road, no excuses and no chance to defend yourself or offer explanation.

Its touch and go whether you would be paid for it also as I would have to pay for someone to go put it right, sounds harsh but that really is appalling workmanship

i.ve seen worse !!!!! i'll send some pics of my rewires

Anyone doing work to that standard should have a bucket of quick setting cement sitting there ready to cover it over asap!

On a positive note the OP may take all the feedback on board and learn from this, and leave the trade. (Please!)

I think a moderator should close this thread. Come on guys, its a wind up. Ain't that against the rules? :66:

 

[Rockingit]

Haven't read the entire thread..... but something about If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen??

If this isn't a windup, then sorry OP, you deserve your P45.

Against the rules or not, wind up or not, was a good laugh. even if the end result is seriously dangerous!!

Crazy to think my boss sacked me for being "immature" at someone business... Business being his BEST MATES lol and guy i was working with told my boss i wasnt being immature..

PURE SET UP

But wish it was for bad work least it would have been justified >.>.. Well myb not i like to think my work is neat and tidy

 

[Amp David]

I think that his employer is being quite fair even having a meeting regards his poor work.

I'd of sacked him on the spot!

 

[Dave 85]

I cant see the problem with it. Its neater than most of my work. If it works it works. Long as the cheque clears before the gaff burns down its all gravy.
