I quit last week after six days with them, last week I covered over 300 miles and all I got done was
one radiator.
Monday = 1st job was 126 miles away, well it was after we collected our materials. Got to
the job, which was to decomission BBU, put boiler above cyclinder in the AC and install Y plan. As
soon as I opened the AC and lifted some boards on the landing I knew we were going to encounter
problems. 9.15am was my 1st call to the office couldn't get hold of anyone, kept trying and trying.
The client had told us we were the 4th set of engineers booked into to do the job and the only
set to even turn up, they had taken time off work on each occasion and even stayed in on a Saturday.
To try and smooth things over we decided to fit the rad, finally got a call back a 12.15pm and they
adviced that we should pull away from the job and that it needed to be re-surveyed. Put everything
back returned materials back to merchants and got home around 5.00pm.
Tuesday = Went to merchants with paperwork 7.30am straightaway there were problems and a
look of confusion on the guys face, were told that the job had either been done already or the
job had been returned due to the survey being wrong. Made phone call to office but got no
reply, went home and kept on calling the office, but no reply, sent emails and still got no reply.
What amazed me about this job was that I had seen an error with this paperwork and made
the appropirate people aware of my concerns, but didn't get any response.
Wednesday = More phone calls to the office and emails...still no response, got a call from the
office about 11am asking why I wasn't at my job that I should have been at the previous day,
which was a two day job. Explained to him and a director the problems I had and the problems
I was having. Came to light that they had sent me the wrong paperwork. I then got a text saying this
is your job for today....I explained to this person that by the time I would have collected the
materials and got to the job due to the distance that I wouldn't get there until around 2.30pm!
We had a two day job booked in for the Thursday, in the end I spoke to a more senior person
at the office and he agreed with my views and concerns and that he would speak to the people
concern. I then got a phone call from this person in the afternoon asking me why was I not at the
job......communication.....communication....communication!!!
Thursday = Went to collect our materials from merchants 7.30am straightaway problems with
pack, tried to call office no response, cut along story short this never got sorted, I left
merchants at 11.45am after returning materials they did have and went home. Told the
appropirate people I no longer wanted to work for them and I would put this in writting.
Sent letter of resignation when I got home.
Friday = Had a phone call asking if I needed ladders, had another phone call asking why
I wasn't at my job.
Monday = Had another phone call asking if I was on my way to my job and another phone
call regarding ladders.
