In two minds

[plymouth wanderer]

Plot thickens

I was employed as a fitter! Includes -Carpentry, plumbing window fitting etc! 2 guys left! Both happened to be sprayers! I said I'd fill in for abit turned out i quite liked it!

They sent 2 of us on a course to bristol ( this was under the previous mangement), but it got canceled when we got there! That was a year ago! That's another thing I've been asking about! I'm not trained to use the spray gun! I'm self taught! Sounds like a broken record I know but I keep getting told ill get it!


It's a massive company, I'd go as far as to say they're the biggest in there field! They trade under different names throughout the world but essentially there all one company!

Business is slow at the minute! But I know for a fact PPE is suppose to be paramount! Head office use to do the budgeting but this year it's down to the managers of every depo ro watch what they spend! I'd imagine PPE would have its own budget! He moans like a kid when we need materials but he eventually gives in! I think he's playing on our loyaltys!

I didn't want it to got his far! I don't want him to get in trouble! But the lame fecking excuses have take its toll!

I've noticed it down the gym these past few weeks! I'm gassing alot quicker than I did before! I've just got married and have kids! It's starting to bother me!

It's also worth keeping note of dates, conversations etc, along with any emails or written notes. All handy should any form of dispute arise in future.

We do but don't really get chance to speak to him as the manger sticks to him like shit! He's down today in actual fact! That kind of prompted me to do this!

As he's a company man I'm scared that he'd be for the company! Yes, I'd get my mask! But would sweep the last year or so under the rug! I blame myself for not doing something earlier! I'm a fairly new employee and you know what it's like! You want to impress and just get on with your work! As we got on, I suppose I believed that he'd get me what I needed! It ain't just me, it's others aswell!

5 years ago I'd have probably wacked him and walked straight out the gate! But I've matured alot in 5 years! That's why it's so bloody frustrating!

I appreciate the help fellas, I really do! Had to talk to someone as it's been bothering me for a while now! Haven't even mentioned anything to my wife yet!

I will for now on, cheers

Ok, so they're almost bound to have some Corporate Policies in relation to PPE/Employee welfare etc. on the Company intranet? They almost certainly have someone responsible for regulatory compliance etc.

His looking good at your expense shouldn't be an option that the company tolerates (might be worth checking if they have open door policies etc.)

[plymouth wanderer]

Will do Worthy! Will have a good read tonight.

I just want to cover all bases before I decide on what it is I'm going to do. Should I go to the quacks and see if it's having an immediate affect on my health? I don't smoke, I don't drink and I don't suffer with asthma! But I have noticed a difference in my stamina down the gym!

BOBO!!!!!!!!

Drop me a PM Plymouth.

I've read the thread and sounds like it should be sortable ... it's not like it's a lot of money & even if things are tight getting the proper equipment pays dividends. It's more about HOW you go about it with slippery characters.

Another bit, Plymouth - if you're in auto-refinishing, do your sanders contain dust extraction?

[plymouth wanderer]

Cheers BOBO!

that's what i'm worried about! being shat on!

I'm not in auto - refinishing Bruce!

I don't use it often but no it does't have a dust extraction!

I use a grinder everyday - cutting and feathering in with fish tail discs

I hope BOBO helped you mate, I know roughly the ins and outs but diplomacy was never one of my fortes

[plymouth wanderer]

Cheers mate! I'm currently talking to BOBO so we'll see what happens

I appreciate everyone's help!

[Bruce Rioja]

Had a word with our Production Director about your situation, Plymouth. He sent me this link for you.

Hope it helps.

One question he did have though - are you self-employed?

[plymouth wanderer]

Cheers Bruce! Lovely thing to do!


Not self-emplyed mate! I'm a bonafide employee!

[Harry Genshaw]

I use grindr everyday

I wouldn't be telling them that. Even Bobo couldn't get you off!
