I Pity future of Industry

There are some good ones!

I am a 20 year old apprentice 4th year!

interested in learning the job! only use my phone on dinner time all the other time its on silent!

I agree, there is definatly good ones. That is more to the point why someone who is not interested should not be retained. Also there are some crap companies and some crap electricians to learn (or not) from, so it cuts both ways!!

Threaten him with the bullet on second thoughts they are so not bothered I doubt if that would have any effect.

 

[Johnuk]

just get ride of him, get someone who lost out on it because of this lazy thing,

 

[Pete999]

Yeah just ditch the waster

Rule one, the phone stays in your locker or tool chest.

Lunch break, “we’ll go through your log book (portfolio).” I didn’t have to give up my break but I thought it worthwhile. It’s what the tradesmen did with me.

How much effort are you putting in to it?

To the OP, I think the best thing you can do is to tell the lado what you actually think about his attitude to work, better still show him this thread and let the replies be the reality check he needs. I think they just assume that one day they wake up and become an electrician without putting any meaningful effort in after all most have been handed everything they have on a plate.

The falling asleep bit would soon be cured with the hot teaspoon on the back of the neck ( oh the memories ) good old days and it worked as well. but now with the cotton wool world we live in you just cant get away with it.
