The customer had refused their price before I would give them my card. ie the work WAS NOT going to them regardless. What makes you think I was representing them ? I was purely providing labour. My tools , my vehicle & no Chb insignia. They tried to get me to wear their shirt & when I asked if they were trying to make out I was an employee , they let the matter drop.
@ balun - you speak of things about which you have no knowledge. What employment contract , there was none. Illegal practices - please explain ! Charged with theft - what did I steal ?
What I saw from the moment I entered this industry was the number of lying , incompetant , price inflating morons who have been around since the year dot. This is mainly the long established , larger companies who trade on their previous reputations from when they had market dominance. Want some examples ?
1) A certain ex market leader W who would tell clients that the alarm panel needed updating every 5 years or they would not be covered by insurance.
2) The same ex market leader W who bribed Telstra workers to do illegal cabling in a certain Newcastle Telephone exchange. The Telstra workers lost their jobs & were charged while W suffered no consequences.
3) Security company wanting to pay by the minute for time on the job only. Would you like to drive 40 km round trip only to get paid for 5 minutes for changing a battery ?
4) Security company supplying 2nd hand equipment as new.
5) Security company insisting all monitored domestic panels have opens/close & daily test.
I could go on. Don't put shit on me , I've paid my dues !
