Feel like i'm putting my head on the block here but....
the community i work in have generally agreed that at my own unit (and others that i have worked for previously) the management take an almost personal affront to having to make redundancies/pay cuts. Many of these people are personal friends as well as employees. If it comes to a decision over making job cuts or wage cuts surely maintaining jobs is the lesser of two evils? It is no surprise that management are taking the brunt of grievances on bajrfed but i think people are losing perspective in the face of the crisis. I can't believe anyone takes pleasure in layoffs but perhaps i'm just being naive.
That said, those companies providing tents and such like as we enter the winter months are completely undermining the concept of professionalism in the industry. If anything this must reinforce the sceptical light the construction industry holds us in as a bunch of stripey jumper-wearing, beardy hippies?? Is it any wonder there is a reluctance to pay top (or even medium) dollar for our work in the commercial sector?
