But how can the guy ever get experience if he doesn't try?
I think you've been a bit harsh, ideally he would have got experience from his journeyman but we don't know his background, maybe he had a poor apprenticeship(if he did one that is).

I guess I'm one of the people who's being a bit harsh?

To be perfectly honest if I went to a property and saw him doing that I would have torn a strip off of him, I'm only being gentle on here cos of forum rules.

The way to get experience is not by having a go unsupervised. Should a trainee gas engineer just strike out and have a go unsupervised?
How would you like it if the person you paid to repair the brakes on your car was just spreading his wings and getting some experience on his own?

Don't forget electricity kills people!

Fair comment!
The point I was making was that he may well be qualified, maybe just lacking in experience. I was let loose on the public as a 4th year apprentice, I didn't know it all, still don't!

I bet you weren't let loose on just any job though. The people letting you loose would have known your abilities and what jobs they were sending you to.

 

[Carlosfandango]

True, but I learnt pretty damn quick when I came up against something unfamiliar!!
