Wen't to help out a small independent female sparky company today.................
I was greeted at 7.45 by the owner and her list of TIMED Jobs for the day (should of got back in the motor then and there) :facepalm:
No time inbetween jobs listed and the first one was at 8.am although stock and sorting out onto the van was still happening at that time and later.
I did my best at jobs 1,2,3 and job 2 was timed at an hour to remove a socket from a chimmney brest and re- site at skirting board level to negate the need for filling ?? (no filler in this girls van) carpet and underlay to peel back two floorboards to cut out and de-nail thee joists and trimmers too, drill then chase out socket, cut and join cable refit socket and clean up then off to fit 5ft florrie and another light,at this point i get a phone call " I am waiting for you at another job to first fix a kitchen" 14 miles away i answer "i WILL BE FIFTEEN MINUTES PLUS JOURNEY TIME".
Arrive at kitchen job am told crimp this crimp that even wanted the old cooker cable crimped to a new length and dropped behind cuboards (not how i work although i think the regs allow it,
As far as i could make out all these crimped joints would be hidden behind cuboards or dare i even think it behind tiles!!
I hope they never have a fault with these connections or the poor spark will never find them.
i DID NOT DO THESE CONNECTIONS !!
However when she started talking about the next job she wanted me to go too i just saw red X(
I packed up my tools and told her she could have the previous jobs on me!
I have never in 53 years been treated like a timed slave and i do not intend to start now.
Does anyone know what happened to humanity or do people think if they pay you they own you.
