Travel
In My Apprinticeship years I never recieved travel to or from jobs .
In My vehicle or the companys .My Boss Felt if you wanted to learn it is your responsibility to do it . Not his .
And when I applied to the local union shop they said it was my responsibility to provide travel up to 100 mile s from union shop . I was not to happy to hear this so i declined to work for the union .
Never agreeing with the policies of my employeers , I decided to pay travel only when at job or in company vehicles ,providing company vehicles & gas to Experienced & Seasoned Veterans of the company when I started my business .
This was good but never seemed to make employees happy . So i reverted back to Pay started when you arrived at project , you were required to show up 10 minuites early , provide own transportation , Tools , lunch, Strict adhearence to rules .
projects ran smoother , attidude never got better or worse .
But Respect went up , Because the percs were apreciated more when given as they new what it cost to provide thier own way .
You must Appreciate ,Extras , percs , Vehicles,lunches
The Cost is a lot higher when you provide your own way .
Attitude is everything in a job. Respect is Second to none .
Travel , Expenses Are a perc s (or) reward for good Performance not a demand
When you Demand , The Attitude is expectation not Thankfulness
The Natural Tendancy of an Employee is to do what is in his best interest .
Policy abuse is a natural tendancy .
Thanks
