Found Jesus yet?
Well I managed to get a contract job that could have lead to permanency
I QUIT!
The boss was a Jesus freak, now I have worked with Commos and Nazis and Bible Bashers but never a Jesus freak and I found it disturbing.
He was not a printer by trade and he had unreal expectations of the times that it would take to make ready the jobs, 7 minutes when the industry standard is 20 to 30 minutes
I was taken by the quality of the work and was quite excited by the thought of high quality printing that fits in with my own philosophy of “Near enough is not good enough but exactly right is near enough” but however he was putting pressure on me as by his opinion I was taking too long and he was telling me that his business depended on it.
In fact I felt that he was questioning my competency as a tradesman and as he was not a printer by trade I felt uneased by this. I had not run that type of machine before.
His business is exactly that his business not mine! Yes I am responsible for what I do each day but when you have only been working there for 2 days and he starts to emotionally involve you that was scary.
I am still looking for work but its not easy to find I just don’t know where that shortage of tradesmen is as I have not seen it yet.
He kept asking me if I had found Jesus yet? I didn’t know that he was missing.
I fronted him on the 4th day and told him that I wanted out hand that I would work for him that day then leave he told me that is that was the case I should “respect the business”
I worked for 12 hours and did not charge him that is how much I respected the business
Nah I am just a fool.
