about 15 yrs ago I was employing in the region of 10 painters & often gave a chance to apprentices.I don’t disagree with you.
But I’ve been employing plasterers since 2001 and have seen a decline in the youngsters , I’m in my 40s with teenagers so not a miserable old c**t.
The main areas I think are a sense of entitlement, poor work ethic (probably due to their parents ), social media and iPhone addiction.
A youngster would have to really have a bit about them for me to start them. I’d like to, but not many about, that I’ve seen.
Common problems were:
going to away evening games.
being a DJ at night during the working week
not coming in if they knew a tough day / deadline was coming.
spliff.
I just run out of patience in the end
