Making there own 'deal'

[Highland Forestry]

Best thing you could do is stop moaning about it, and forget it.. move on.

 

Harsh fact of reality - that's what people do in this industry.

 

Best to chalk it up to experience and keep your cards closer to your chest in future..

Drive through Churchill every morning.... It's tough but that's the way things are just now. Money does funny things to people and countries

A lesson in how cutthroat it is out there at the moment , it would seem to me that almost anyone will stab you in the back ,people seem to be always asking too many details about who you are working for or where did you find certain work ect .Keep them like mushrooms feed them full of s##t and keep them in the dark

 

I've noticed that too. They start with casual questions then start getting in deeper till you suss them and feed them crap. It has become a sport.

I'm sorry to disagree with some of the face value attitudes some people seem to have in accepting this as "part of a harsh reality".

 

I for one value my personal reputation, I would never intentionally rip anyone off, or stab an undeserving person in the back, let alone someone who considers me a friend. I expect most people, certainly those within my circle of friends, to have similar personal integrity.

 

Of course I have been let down myself, some people have no integrity and don't seem interested in the value of their reputation, but I will never stoop so low. To me, avoiding this sort of thing it is a matter of due diligence.

 

I also think people of integrity have a duty to other kindred spirits to cut off the low life, never deal with them again except to return the favor in spades, and report their lack of integrity to all and sundry, it may help prevent someone else from being ripped off/stabbed in the back.

 

If someone stabs me in the back they can expect to get stabbed back, at every opportunity, for life.

 

Accepting this as a "harsh reality" is part of the problem IMO.

 

that's what people do in this industry.

 

Do people want to be part of an industry with this reputation? Is it not up to those within the industry to change this?

 

It is not acceptable in my book, never will be.

 

Pumpy.

If that was me I'd be putting a match to his pile cordwood.

One thing I can't tolerate is people going behind your back on one of your deals. Used to get it all the time when I was buying and selling lorrys. People. I sold to would go to address's from the name and address on log books of lorrys trying to get foot in the door o buy all their lorrys. Luckily the company's I used to buy from we're more loyal than the people I sold to....

So this back stabbing guy offered the landowner money for the timber extracted?

 

Hence they cut a new deal..

 

Though it wouldn't be very profitable to pay for standing timber from thinnings?

Exactly my thoughts. Ahhhh well his clients won't be getting very good quality logs next year will they
