Taking on a new employee

[Swift2506]

I am just a plumber pipe fitter but I now work for a smaller firm and get treated Very well
not just the money but my input is asked for and I feel respected and apreciated

i wanted to work for the owner of this company spent 18months pestering him got the chance when one of his top men left showed him photos of my work on my iPad took him to one of my jobs showed him around my little plant room

been working for him for six mouths now had a weeks holiday and got called back in after 3 day for a rush job came in for a big celint

was thanked and so was my partner was given a new 18volt sds to say thank you
for me it the little thing
I like to be apreciated and respected

But i walk into surpilers and there other blokes there stood up talking wasting the day
good engneers are hard to find but I do think that a good bloke can get ruined by a employer as well

just my thoughts

you can never do enought for a good boss or is it you can never do a good boss for enough?

i would like to saye I have worked for a few and

I LOVE MY JOB. NOW!

thats nice to hear swift there a lot of bad engineers but theres even more bad firms to work for

I'd like an employer like that swift.
Not asking for loads, but even a thank you for staying 3 hours late to finish off someone else's disaster would be nice. Guess that's what you get for working for a big firm. Your just an employee number to most people.

Maybe one day I'll pluck up the courage to go SE again, or work for a small family run business maybe things would be different.

Been back the office tonight to have pads put on my 02 transit with 178000 miles on
my boss said thanks for coming back
gave Ian the machanic a hand took off the wheels passed a few spanners had a giggle
it's no problem

people expect everthing and are not prepared to put the extra bit in

i had had a eletrical fault at home (I don't do eletrical) at all
phoned my boss for advices as he is a electrician / gas / oil Engneer
next thing he's rocked up on me drive and sorted out the problem

thats is why when he phoned me on a Friday night and asked if I could work on Sunday I don't saye no

and I like the penny's

ps I do love my job and company I work for

worked for for big company's for about 8years
alfred mc alpines, planned maintaince and Carillion
tuped though all of them was glad to get away in the end
