Quality over quantity
I’m just writing this to get other sparks opinions. I’ve always been on the books. And I consider myself to be more of a quality than quantity worker. My background is commercial and Industrial. I really do believe that you can have quality, speed or cheap. You can’t have all three. I’m not slow, but there are faster out there. But very rarely will anyone go back to one of my jobs. I really do feel that just lately the industry is going down the pan. There is no time on jobs to do things properly. And as a result, the ones who want to do it properly get moaned at for taking too long. I have high standards of work and when I look at what some of the other lads are doing it makes me feel sick. It seems that the ones who throw it in and get jobs done early are favoured by the bosses. And the bosses are not looking for a brilliant install, just one that produces a profit. Also I think that some sparks cut corners because they don’t want that awkward conversation with the boss about needing longer to finish the job. And also they may appear to be slow. Anyway it will be interesting to see what others think.
