I hate getting stitched up at work. Today i went to site, was told the 2 blokes working on that job know whats going on, that was it. Get there a bit early and meet 1 bloke there. A nice 30 foot scissor lift gets dropped off. So ok, dont mind working off those, have my ticket and all. Then the other bloke on that project rocks up and another bloke from my service team. He had been given the same loose description, but told to pick up the trailer and scaffold. So we walked through the job, the 2 guys on the job from the start say they are doing this, this and this off the lift, and us stitched up service guys do that that and that off the scaff. The ceiling height is 6m. A 30 foot scissor goes to 10m. So those guys were fine. The max working height of the scaff is 3.7m. So myself at 6"2' and my collegue at 6"4', yes we could reach the ceiling, but couldnt get too far into it. Plus both of us hate working off scaff we build. Not because we build it dodgey, we use common sense bracing it and use all the braces, but neither of us have been shown by someone who actually knows how to build it. The reason work ask but give a loose description for weekend work when they know its a stich up, is so we say yes, the reason when you talk to the guys on site and they always say simple things, like, its just installing cameras and omit the facts stitching me up, is clearly, its work they dont want to do. Got it done, but it could have been so much faster and easier off a 19 foot lift, and i can trailer those behind my ute. $325 day rate over wasting 2 guys time on overtime building and using scaff is just stupid.
