Re: SPACE - All change again
Tell you what reading this thread, all you supermarket guys are a right bunch of jessies.
Get a grip, If you don't like the conditions and contracts you are offered, move into the real world where iPAC's, pensions, sick pay etc are not offered.
If you hadn't noticed the country is in recession, you should be grateful you have jobs to go to.
What exactly is your problems?, you get asked to actually do some work during your employed hours?
Stop whining and get the job done.
I used to subbie to a company where all the "engineers" whined about not getting paid enough for what they "did", so the company asked them how much per hour they wanted. Each employee was given the exact hourly rate they asked for..........then their vans were fitted with trackers.........thieving tossers lost about a third of their wages each.

Re: SPACE - All change again
One thing i can not comprehend is this.
All you supermarket engineers whining about pay and conditions, why not take advantage of the current opportunities available to good fridge men?
ie, the opportunities now available to good fridge men to commission and trouble shoot air sourced heat pumps to the commercial heating sector are growing by the day, so why not set yourselves up in business and earn what you are truly worth?

Hi Mark, I got told off by Brian the admi man for asking you a friendly question, sorry if you found it offensive.
Glad to see you still carry your tools with you, I do the same thing, as you say 'old habits and all that' I won't bother posting again, as I just seem to get into trouble.
All the best Steve.

Re: SPACE - All change again
Sorry to go on about this, but it really gets my back up.
Last week on the same site I was working on, there were three Vans and five "engineers" from what I think is a large company, Capital Cooling.
Three hours I watched them smoking, eating, chatting and leaning on the van from my site office window, £15 x 5 x 3 = £225. Who pays for this?
No wonder there is no money for pay rises when the employees put in effort like this. They must cost the shareholders a fortune, sack the lot of 'em and get the Poles in.

If anyone has become demotivated with refrigeration, you could always retrain and move up to a more technically advanced industry, such as air conditioning for example.

Re: SPACE - All change again
Just left with the feeling that after all these kind of posts no one will end up working for the company and the company will find it hard to find decent engineers.
Remember if a good engineer on £20.00 fixes it in an hour, and an apprentice on £6.00 an hour takes all day- whos cheaper??
Sometimes it is cheaper to employ good engineers. ( I tell myself this every Friday when I pay my engineers!!!!!!)

Re: SPACE - All change again
Yeah they are bad for it i must admit. I also know of one site in edinburgh that will remain nameless.
They bought a maryap (i call them marycrap) serve-over and within about 3 weeks the first compressor went, then a week later the evaperator split, then an other compressor went by this time the customer wasnt best pleased so they changed the whole counter out.
An other 3-4 weeks later the compressor went again. If i remember right i think they changed the cabinets 3 times.
Thats was the first batch of equipment and to be fair they did get better eventually. I suppose its just down to getting to know whats good and whats not.
I recently worked on there new (just out of warranty) multidecks and they seem not to bad for what they are.

Re: SPACE - All change again
The grass may been greener on the other side but whatever side you are on it still have to cut.
I work for Space have 2 kids and 1 on the way, so I hope they make it through these hard times.
In our area the shift has worked very well because the engineer's all work hard and do a proper job. This has given us the time to see our family, ride motor bikes and clean the helicopter.
Back to the main point of the thread, changes! The changes are not good at all but instead of moaning I called 2 of the Directors and now a resolve has been agreed.
What are we going to moan about now? (apart from my spelling and punctuation)
