We had a fitter out from a main dealer last week He has been in the job for twenty years and told me he is leaving the industry after harvest . He had many reasons , pay being one but also the fact he did not feel valued or respected . He sited on example , on the dealers web site there is a "Meet the team" page where all the directors , sales and admin have a picture and a bit about them but there is nothing about the service staff
What he said got me thinking so tonight i've been on a few dealers web sites and very few have any fitters on there web pages It may seem a trivial thing and some fitters maybe don't want their face on the web site . But it obiously made this guy feel under valued and as he said we are the only one working evenings and weekends
It seems that some of the most important jobs that society needs are looked down on. How often do you hear on the radio about working in the office or the office party as though it the only place people work
