[QUOTE="melted welly, post: 7784758, member: 37168"] Cuts both ways, and I don’t like the broadbrush that’s bandied about on this subject Our local machinery ring runs apprenticeships and pre-apprenticeships for school leavers, oversubscribed. I’ve invested time and effort in training a young lad, change of domestic circumstances and he’s gone awol for 3 weeks now. Have a plan in place to hold position open for 4 months in the hope things settle down, and paying hourly rate to him to work through coursework and online learning when he can at home, been more than fair in my opinion. And t be honest, it’s fairly likely he’ll end up leaving. The kick in the nuts is investing in folk and they then leave the position/industry. Oil industry hoovered up lots of the fitters, sparkies etc round here. Ag can’t compete with the wages on offer, albeit that industry hasn’t had its sorrows to seek of late. Takes time, effort and patience to train new folk, and if there’s no commitment from the other side I can totally understand why some businesses don’t bother. [/QUOTE]
