Discuss Taking the mick in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

There's a company near where I grew up in Cornwall that constantly has a sign outside advertising for electrician's.

this is because they pay minimum wage and just have a high staff turnover of desperate sparks looking to pay the rent.
 
Not even going to bother reading past the first page!!

Just goes to show the high esteem that electricians command these day's!!
Basically this is all thanks to the likes, of all these parasites you have let get a foothold into this industry...

If an electrician of any quality takes this position on at those sort of rates, they must be bloody desperate is all i can say. To be honest i can't see this company getting people with the stated qualifications, it'll come down to training centre's fast track boys being taken on!! They may then see the difference between being qualified and not being qualified. But i won't be holding my breath!! lol!!
 
just had another look at the job advert. one of the duties required of their employees is this................

* Accomplishes organisation goals by accepting ownership for accomplishing new and different requests; exploring opportunities to add value to job accomplishments.


does anyone have the foggiest idea what this means?
 
I wouldn't get out of bed for that, I can earn more stacking shelf's!

Reminds me a few years ago a agency rang me up with a job offer, The convo went something like this.

"Hello, We have seen you on some website and would like to know if you are interested in this job?

ok, what is it?

Well its a job as a maintenance spark in Essex.

No thanks, Not interested in relocating.

Oh but you have not heard the good part!

Go on then, humor me....

*really excited voice* Its £16,000 a year!

HAHAHAHAHHAHAAAA

*BEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPP*"

Talk about a face palmer....

I'm sure it means "find as much as you can to rip the customer off further"
