Not m.o.b. But very tall and "appropriately large for size" apprentice. He was so tall he spent much of the time laying on the floor or kneeling down to reach parts of the equipment. I think he realised that it was not for him but parental pressure made him stay the course and our brilliant hr department said we couldn't sack him as he was an apprentice. His interest in college and results dwindled. When he finished his time, 4 years, he was told that there was no job for him and he decided that he would become a "trainee chef" at mcdees! Says it all really, but their hash browns are excellent! So recruitment and hr wasted 4 years of his life and took a place and opportunity away from someone else better suited, still they were happy they ticked boxes and did the right thing in there rose tinted view.
Some time later, the head of hr walked through the workshop and saw an engineer rebuilding a transmission and was astounded at the number of parts, said I didn't know that's what you did down here, how do you know where all the parts go? He replied, its my job. Hr at that time was working on a new pay structure based on their perception of engineer skill level....so did it make a difference...Noah engineers did not get an appropriate rise.
System is broken and will stay that way till the clowns and leeches are gone.
