Chefjoiner

I work for a smallish building company! Around 50 staff we do renovations, barn conversions etc. We get involved with everything from insulating lofts and plasterboarding which is crap. Just want to concentrate on the Joinery aspects.

No, I've never treated KP's like that. I would always treat people with respect and be firm but fair as a chef. I get spoken to like complete and utter sh*! By most people on site including being laughed at by the site manager . People higher up in the company don't really communicate with me. I've never had a review or even a chat with my employer and how my training has is or has gone in over 2 years. Just get left to it and not shown anything. Think I need to change employers..

I made a decision to have a career change around 4 years ago from chefing. Did a an apprenticeship in carpentry and Joinery. My word the building trade industry is full of di##head$! Does anyone else have any thoughts or comments or struggle with this. It's a brutal industry but I do actually like it. You get spoken too like absolute crap and it's not great for one's mental health. Thoughts please...?
