Hi all
I have posted recently about trying to get back into the plumbing game and looking for some work experience at a higher level to what I had learned.
I'm now 38 years old and left the plumbing game 9 years ago as I worked for a maintence firm that had a contract with councils as their contractor.
These guys could have had a loyal novice plumber but they screwed my confidence by giving me between 9 and 12 jobs a day and was not supportive at all. Sending us operatives long distances was impossible.
I admit I hadn't completed a city and guilds course but barring heating controls and S plans Y plans etc I was pretty good. I don't mean that as a big head but I was self taught and had no apprenticeship.
Was this unrealistic of them and their expectations or should I just stay out of the game? I feel if I worked along a time served plumber I would have been ok.
Grateful for honest thoughts folks.
