Sack him!

[Evans Electric]

For some reason I just remembered these two anecdotes from 1000yrs ago when I worked for a contractors in Stourbridge.

The supervisor went out in one of our vans, heading back to the office he cut someone up on the ring road. Parks the van ,walks into the office and the phone rings, its the agrieved motorist who took the number off the van. Sounding like a pompous retired colonel type , he complained bitterly about the incident, giving supervisor a rough time.

When he had finished the supervisor , who looked and sounded like Basil Fawlty says , " Right thats it, he,s sacked, as soon as he gets back, on the spot, ... he,s finished!!!!"

After a short silence the colonel says " Oh dear.. Oh no.. I er.. really don't wan't someone to lose his job... no.. no.. I'm sorry I phoned now.. I did 'nt expect such action.. Please forget it .. it was nothing.."

Reminds me of something that happened at my last job, I worked for a large local authority and we had a policy of answering other peoples phones if their deaks were unattended.

I duly answered a colleaugues phone once to be met by a tirade of abuse from the caller, I asked him to calm down and he replied "do you know who I am, I am the head of child services"!

"Do you know who I am" I replied, "No" said he "good" I retorted, "now **** off"!

Unproffesional I know, but the 60 mile journey home down the M62 was a real pleasure that night.

I was once called in to help with a regeneration program that was falling behind shedual.

At one property a load of suited gentlemen entered and had a discussion with the main electrician who had the contract.

After some debate which was heated at some points I was dragged into the conversation.

My first words where something like, " I think its totall amature and in no way beneficiall to the safety of the people who will use this installation"

my second comment was "who ever has this contract ought to be sacked from ever tendering for a local government contract in the future"

What I did not know was that the suits where the main contractors and the local council who had control over the job.

With egg on my face I was called to the offices to explain my comments.

Much to the disgust of the main contractor I told it has it was and explained that doing anything on the cheap resulted in this cowboy charade they now found themselves in.

My leaving suggestion was to never accept the lowest quote, it normally follows that your going to be done over.

Maybe a slight exaggeration there perhaps

ring road may not have been, but the roads there 1000 years ago were probably in better condition!

Same bloke , same firm, remember he looks like Basil Fawlty. He sees me heading for the office and decides to have a laugh, he didn't see that I was now joined by the Local Council Project manager, who I sent up the stairs before me.

On entering the office he is confronted with the supervisor bent double , head in hands, crammed under the drawing board pretending to be crying " Leave me alone ... I can't take anymore .. I want to go home"

On seeing it was a visitor , not me, he leaps from under the board as if it were perfectly normal, strides over to the guy, shakes hands with a " Good afternoon, I'm **** ***** , cup of tea ??

Guy was just gaping at him .

I think you had to be there !!!
