Couldn't Believe My Eyes !!

Had the road outside work dug up over the last week to lay a new power cable.
Left to come home from work and found this.

Sums us up I'm afraid.

No initiative anymore - if it doesn't say "do this" on a piece of paper, it won't get done.

I bet the contractors had an @rsay council officer overseeing the project.

 

[DappaDonDave]

i bet the contractor employed retards. Nothing to do with an arsey Council worker. Not excuse for that kind of idiotic work shy behaviour!

 

[Whee]

Cut backs on paint costs! That's an absolute belter.

Gotta laugh about these things, drags you down otherwise.

That's more than my job's worth guv

Looks like they've done a good job of repairing the trench though... Most unusual for a utility company...

But that's the problem these days.
Unless you specify exactly what you want then you'll get what's on the job sheet.

"dig trench, repair "x" and replace tarmac to previous"

Exactly what they've done.
No excuse, but they've made an assumption that the rest of the road marking will be repainted,

They should have used the tin of faded paint instead!

That is my only big bare about some of my fellow public sector colleagues. More than happy to stick to age old practices instead of trying out new things. Upsets me! But unless you remove the old school public sector workers, it'll stay the same for years to come
