I used to like my job. It was a good laugh with the lads on our shift. We got through loads of work, customers were happy and the shift pattern we worked allowed us to get good family and holiday time.
Then the last recession hit.
Shifts were changed, lots of people left and were not replaced. Customers are no longer happy as we're not open when they want us to be. Most of the highly skilled lads have moved on, and now the company is trying to recruit more. Not many in our trade any good now, lots of fitters not many mechanics.
Funny we said to the management this would happen when they were cutting back, laying people off, messing with lives.
But they're all bloody accountants, that wouldn't know what a truck was if it landed on them.
Funny how every mechanic knows that if you lose 5 men that 200 hours labour a week less that you have to sell. Office staff now outnumber the workshop staff.
They have really screwed a good company up.
Already got 2 possible jobs lined up.....
