BBC Watchdog - British Gas

Ha ha, ive heard that is a nice earner!! Think maybe people are missing the point on the boiler leads, from what ive heard there is a lot if pressure if you do not get boiler leads or you are out on your ear, no one cares about the tenner you get, you just dont want to get summoned to the top man at bg and get the boot.

At team meetings people do get a talking to if ther arent reaching targets of boiler leads, etc etc. As I was a contractor I didnt have that problem. You would get more of a talking to for not getting boiler leads than taking 8 visits to fix a boiler.

Shocking, about time British Gas got looked in to. I think some other authorities see them as untouchable, so they do get away a lot.

Thank You Watchdog.

That guy from British Gas was clearly not telling the entire truth, and the way he justified it was wrong.

You're dead right ... I left BG 8yrs ago ... Loved most of my time there and made real good friends along the 25yrs prior! Privatisation made it just a money making machine with us guys as the front line 'tool' to make it! Dangle a carrot and the donkey will follow!!! I got sick of chasing the carrot! Luckily I hadn't Driven my credit rating to the max and could afford to leave the "family"!

I Sub contracted to them a few years back when working for a company they got rid of me as I only got leads on dangerous boilers (not dangerous because there more than 10 years old because they were falling apart as I was the first person to actually take the cover off in years) and they got the hump when I had a regular inspection and refused to tell someboy with a ideal mexico 2 BF that they should upgrade the boiler. My reply was why it will go on for years.

And the leads they got out of me was good for my boss as I gave him the addresses aswell.
