    Not sure mate, I really hope he hasn't me over

    I have got a couple of free lance climbers very interested in my latest vacancy. So by next month I will have a completely new workforce. No wonder I have no hair and my OCD is so controlling
  3. chrisgilltreesurgery
    He's doing driving lessons and there is a train station just down the road but it's like he's not interested in exploring these options
  4. chrisgilltreesurgery
    Sounds very sus! But what can I do? He lives east side of Newcastle and busses in and home
  5. chrisgilltreesurgery
    I suspect another company if he finds one WILL put him chipping or dragging brash as their lead climbers not gona give up climbi g for dragging
  6. chrisgilltreesurgery
    He travells 3 hours a day but his gran only lives 5 mins down the road and when Simon the Bear is in he gives him a lift so he could reduce his travel down to maybe only one day per week

    I've done all of this but he says it's the travell to and from work is too much and is looking fitr a closer firm to him. I'm not blowing my own trumpet but I think he''ll learn the hard way this time. I suspect he has had it too easy...

    No chance of that now! How do you get in through to someone how lucky they are to have an opportunity?!?! He is adamant he is leaving this Friday, I even offered him my hilux as a company vehicle for when he passed his test but that made no difference :-(

    Connor dropped a bomb on me yesterday by telling me he no longer wants to do his apprenticeship with me, he is leaving to look for a firm closer to where he lives. I wish him all the luck in the world I just can't help thinking he is making the worst decission of his career and he's only 4 months into Arb!!! Connor wake up and smell the coffee lad!

    Where you based Scott
  18. chrisgilltreesurgery
    I could just see you skippering your own boat mate with Simon as your first mate :beer:
  19. chrisgilltreesurgery
    Scott I could not do without mine, I try and keep my trimmers for nice trimming and the rough cuts for the final levelling off of a conifer hedge reduction or and privit which is in need of a good hard hacking back
  20. chrisgilltreesurgery
    Keeping them mate :-)
  21. chrisgilltreesurgery
    Hedge trimmers matey :-)
  22. chrisgilltreesurgery
    Offup to Mr Gusthart for a new set of Stihl rough cuts
  23. chrisgilltreesurgery
    The fact was you both were doing your own work and could not give me the availability that I required at that time therefore I took on a full time experienced arborist/manager to deal with our work load. Neither of you had any sort of contract, both of you worked as and when required therefore I was well within my rights to pick and choose as and when who worked. I am sorry to hear you are so bitter about this but all of this was a year ago...??? I wish you both all the best in whatever line of work you are in and doing now. If either of you are still climbing good luck with everything and climb safe. :-)
  24. chrisgilltreesurgery
    Those two were casual staff, nothing more. I had needed a full time experienced climber for quite some time, when Paul came along it would have been a bad business decission not to take him on. You just need to look at what Chris Gill Tree Surgery have achieved this year to fully understand this
  25. chrisgilltreesurgery
    As yoywill all know Paul is changing his direction in this industry and I wish him all the luck and happyness in the world with his chosen path. This however leaves a position which I will need filling, I am not saying too much yet as I want him to find happyness and security in a new career choice before I appoint a new manager, however this said I know how hard it is to find 'good guys' in this trade so I am putting the feelers out... PM's welcome
