Sack em and keep work for myself?

[TREELINE]

cheers all i'm feeling happier now some good sensible replys got me thinking rather than wingeing. I think i've decided to get my ass back out there myself and use the subbies for dragging brash for a few

[Andy Collins]

Dont really see the issue, if the climber cares about his job, he is not going to smash stuff willy-nilly, and a freak piece of damage now and again may be acceptable. If as the boss, you go back to the tools, is there not chance that you will cause more damage in your haste to get the job done as efficiently as you subbie? If he is being repeatedly negligent, then just can his ass and get another climber, cos they're ten apenny these days.

[Czlowiek Drzewo]

yeah thats true.

 

but..i have just recently told the guy that i have worked a lot for and who gives me a lot of work..to get stuffed!...even though i really need the work.

 

To much pressure to complete jobs in impossible time. ( maybe you have to much pressure on your sub-contract climber and thats why he made mistake ?)

 

I need the work..but i am finnished of cutting corners to complete jobs...i want to keep my arms!

 

was climbing a bit like this...even though i knew it was very dangerous.

Theres nothing wrong with that

 

If your gonna make subbies pay for ALL there mistakes then

 

1 Tell them up front.

2 Expect them to look at every job and then give you a price for it.

3 Expect some of them to P**s off.

 

You cant expect someone else to take all the risk at a fixed price and you get the profit.

 

Ive worked on both sides of the fence plenty of times and I would never pay for any damage I caused unless I was getting bonus for none damage etc.

[Arborlord]

I like the no damage bonus thats good.

 

If you sub a climber then he wont damage your kit he has his own.

 

The main problem is GREEDY contractors rushing subbies.

 

You bend it you mend it would mean i would want £200 a day otherwise why risk earning sod all.

 

And we all know no contractor will pay that so abit of double standards here.

 

[aimee poole]

Cost nothing but the pride; i made em pay and sent them home for half day.

 

He he now theres a good idea carl ( your fired! )

[High Scale]

He he now theres a good idea carl ( your fired! )

 

What...again?

[Log-ologist]

If you cant be there to supervise don't expect things to be done your way.

good example of rushed climbing, unnecessary random cuts, hand held one piece then free falls another, no back up when using the saw, could have rigged out that whole branch with one cut.
