1284023 2012-06-30 10:28:00 So do I, but nice to give a bit of time to trial, not 5 mins and what next

Assuming this is directed at me.

In a two week stint I done 210 hours of on site work, Which is considerably more then what someone doing 40 hours a week does in a month (so thats near 1000 hours of duty when I walked), Plus I was the one correlating the information and dealing with the management, so if anyone was to have a clear idea of the situation at hand then it was me, To have that insight and to not act or be motivated to act on it would have made me a fool. To accept the situation would have made me pathetic.

Not that it requires justification, I'm happy with the call I made and I'd do it again. I'm told the corresponding fall out was substantial, to the point of over shadowing my actions.

That aside, If anyone finds conditions unacceptable in their first 5 minutes, especially in regards to safety, then raise your voice, Get it sorted or walk. If your well being isn't a focus of your workplace then don't let it stand, Its not likely the management will be interested in you when your crippled and can't help them turn a profit.

Quite agree. As one guy said to me, "Life is too short to remain in a job you are not enjoying."

There is a lot of walking, you must admit, ever since and including walking from your dad.

Quite frankly I should never have gone back to the family business in the first place.

Family businesses can be full of petty politics and very bad for the family as a whole. I got out of a similar situation years ago and look back at what a good decision it was.

Wonder if Henry Ford the 5th would agree with you?

He may have some cash but do you know what crap that family may have been through?

1284031 2012-07-02 02:02:00 Its the same as business partnerships, mostly what causes them to fall apart are the partners wives. They keep needling their husband about business related expenses of the other partner. The business partners get brainwashed by it. prefect (6291)
