Its not one of those 'best mate' things is it? As in its really you but you don't want to say it is?

Bit odd if it is

How do u mean assessment , is it an acs type thing , I've got a best mate , who might be interested as well .

onlyfitidealboilers · 12 Mar 2010

like i said before i would not work for bg full.

this is for a dipstick best mate who hasn't had the fine pleasure of being bullyed,sell this an that, your fix rate is down, your not selling enough,
list goes on so why would i go back to that gasman??

I have told him but he is strugglein for work at the min.

as far as i know he been offered £32 an hour an a blue van

Basic fault finding, use of a multimeter and ACS stuff i believe. Oh and they require you to hand over your soul.

Does he like being bullied, and enjoy a fear culture. Tell him not to do it.

............ and we wont be drawn into the arguement of only fitting Ideal boilers then

I have been a subby with BG on and off for about 8 years now.
OK, so you have to put up with their PC holyier than thou attitude, but at the mo, they pay me - they could increase the hourly rate by lots, but I doubt if that will happen. In these hard times, it's a job, not the best, but still income

make sure he wears his gloves, or there will be trouble ahead

If it were £32/hr for 7 hours a day and five days a week and for 46 weeks in the year then thats over £50k a year.

That sounds a good pay rate!

You`ll never see a BG fitter work 7 hours a day

6 @ most. What the test will need to know is the level of incipient indolence of the testee

That`s why there is a bullying culture. Them and Us just like before it all went private

BG are offering contractors £65/hour for the 31/3/2010 shift!! The nearer it gets to the strike date, the higher the offer. So tell your bestie mate to wait a week or so, Ideal son!!!

kirkgas · 13 Mar 2010

the test will be ALL safety, ie TT procedure, remember check manometer, zero it out, carefully monitor results, vents, flues, unsafe sits, basic electric isolation, i always advocate the CYA school of thought, but for the duration of the test think about C"BG"A as thats what they want, good luck from what i rwead here he will need it

its ok he is goin to tell them to lick his ba**s, he has now seen sense.
