Instructed to carry out a task that I am not qualified to do without specific, designed and tested instruction from a structural engineer.
I declined and later refused quite pointedly after being threatened with being replaced by a person that would get it done, a 'mate' Specialist' type.
A year since I started, four months since this manager started on this business site and all of the projects on my docket are now 'on-hold' or 'awaiting approval'
Cut to right now and I have loaded my tools and equipment into my van and am now re-organising my diary after also being told that if they find a solution I should be 'on-call' to return rapidly and implement.
I suspect that powers above will ask questions and will be resolved - as for me? My rates have just been adjusted, just for them and effective immediately!!
As for the win - as I was loading tools up, a new client across the field from where I was stood dropped me a call and asked me to meet his father and business partner after we had discussed a couple of historic building repairs las week. Turns out business partner father was happy with my proposed works and decided on the spot to carry out the full programme of works in one hit instead of a three year programme and to start as soon as I possibly can. - Turns out there is more to be done and he has a great number of like minded, funded and no-nonsense friends and assosciates.
