Lots of good things here from everyone. Respect is a two way street STM you have that happening which makes for a great work place good on you for managing that. I judge at the Australian world skill
Olympics every second year (this year Perth is the host city). The young people that display their trades there is amazing and worth seeing. It is great to see, maybe I sometimes let other younger ones affect my judgement but it is hard when you put much into them and watch them disrespect the chance they have disappear and listen how it isnt their fault!
Maybe it’s a big smoke city problem :unsure:

I think you are being a bit hard above there Rocket sorry mate.I deal with young people and apprentices from all over Australia daily and on the whole they are f&$ked. Their attitude towards their trade and their job has gone down hill in the last 10years. They carry on about what they are owed, what is in it for them and most wouldn’t know a hard days work if it hit them in the the head. The she will be right attitude and no pride in their work or their trade is wrong so wrong! The way they blame everyone but themselves and won’t take responsibility for anything is shocking. Our apprentice turn over rate has tripled in the last 12 years. I blame parents, the schools etc. I have kids like Wiggy and if my boys don’t do what is expected then I expect them to get the arse! As for the figjam comment I am sorry but I view that as a tradesman that takes pride in his trade and backs what he does. Oh and start me on phones and the likes in the work place!! Have you run a work place, been a boss, employed people, had your house payments on the line weekly? Not that that really matters but does give you a different perspective to think about.

Btw not all young people are like the above, but sadly more and more are lately. And I am a supporter of the younger people getting into trades because that’s what I did, and it’s a great life choice. That said its saddening to watch most of the time now.

well TB some of us are sick of being bagged out by management computernerds and the media should we just sit down and take it . i notice you work for a large company TB-weekly house payments ?.i have worked with some great tradesman over the years and some apprentices have started out as you say our young people are but most have suprised me and turned out good tradesman .as for figjams fug i can do two days work in one just ask me ?? sorry ecks i reckon it would be a great job being your assistant but don t think the money would support my habits.stuff this i am going riding

Thanks for your reply rocket. It wasn’t personal at you I just thought you may have been a bit hard at Wiggy. To clear something you wrote up. I do work for a large company now and get paid monthly. I have worked for myself with a staff of two, stopped that because I was costing me to much to employ people. And I do pay my house of like you? I don’t understand that, the company doesn’t give me one :laugh: wish they did. I have also managed and supervised workplaces with up to 40 staff big international companies and mid sized workshops. In that time I never gave a tradesman that did his job a hard time because he did his job, but I did to plenty that didn’t. Sadly our system doesn’t reward often enough those better because of the work place or the people in it. I have also worked with some amazing tradesman in my time, some are here on this site and are legends at their trade because they care about what they do.

I will add when I ran a large workshop for a well know earth moving machine manufacturer I only started sourcing apprentices from rural NSW like your area Rocket. The country kids seemed better than the city kids which I believe is because of their up bringing and if they came from the land well they were better

Enjoy your ride
