He's been binned, for GROSS stupidity, poor attitude and still not replying to my text sent 3 days stating, "I've a complete install starting next week which will cover most/if not all your portfolio jobs but will require a few full days work from you. You ok with that?'
What a clown, he also pulled his face when I very politely told him to always remember to pull the front door to when we go to the van so the door doesn't bang, pets can't run out or small children escape.
He did manage to break a £45 coal bed which is easy done, but he broke it straight after I went to great lengths explaining NOT to pick it up by the sticky up bits and to ALWAYS get your fingers under it to support the weight. What did hi pick it up by?
As far as I'm award, tightness testing is done at 20mbar and not 19 plus or minus 2?
And if, as he stated, wants to be a service and repair engineer, you DONT go home at 3pm after being picked up at 1pm when the opportunity to go to a boiler breakdown, a 4.30 finish and some great fault finding experience is there for the taking .
I think he thought he could just pop down to a job, have a quick chat, take a picture of my work and Damn off.
If he was a young lad I'd have given him plenty of chances to sort himself out, but this guy was in his late 30s.
I've spoken to his tutor and I'm getting a new one starting early next month.
