Where I work now the fitters are generally dismal,their called "engineers" up here in scotchland,I always thought you needed a degree to be an engineer?
Still,back in ford they were trained identically to the electricians as we did a "multiskilled" 4 year apprenticeship and only when we came out of our time were we assigned either mech or elec,there was no science to it just demand at the time.
Well,that's what we told the hammer throwers!!!!

I nearly got sacked for that! A fitter backed the pick up in to the front of my car. I chased him out of the shop throwing hammers, spanners and any thing that came to hand.

I was a bit peeved and the MD wasn’t amused. I got away with it when he went with me to look at the wreckage.
 
I will never say a bad word again about fitters since pulling in that last 195mm 4 core. Ours are ok though and have been taught that electricity is the work of voodoo and black magic so they keep well away from it unless we need some extra braun.

I am apparently an engineer, got the degree but in the wrong subject!!!

I am about as much an engineer as our cleaner is a technician. Apparently it is supposed to be motivating to call your staff by stupid patronising job titles.
