in prep for the upcoming strike bg have offered contractors £250 to do the induction training (one day) then £100 er completed job! i'm not sure if this is only ex bg engineers though....

Might do it just to windup some old mates. Get my own back for all the sh#te i used to get on their rest days.
One day strike waste of time not sure what the law allows now but they should be doing longer.

there's too many engineers to say they're a 100% scally wag out fit. most guys do a really good job, even under the pressure of having to sell sell sell all the time.
I wasn't talking about the engineers, I was talking about the bosses and how the company is run in general. rip off rip off all the time. they talk soo much sh**

why raise a thread about it then?
just left bg my self like has been said most of the engineers are very good but there is to much selling now adays and if you can sell thats all that matters..
there is a great deal of pressure exerted on to engineers to force them to sell but you normally find the lowest sellers with bg tend to be the best engineers as they fix rather than sell. high sellers tend to be either too lazy to fix or simply not very good engineers.
i was very good at selling and was the top selling engineer in my area.
work smarter not harder is what my old manager told me LOL
