Poaching

[Dales-Electronic]

Some of you will recall that a number of us set up a small cooperative of engineering companies about 5 years ago to allow us to be able to offer a larger area to an insurance company. Six companies were involved covering most of the east midlands. The work was rolling in until a couple of these companies decided to start poaching work from within the group thereby depriving their fellow co-op members of work. As a direct result of these two idiots action, we lost the whole lot and the association collapsed.
I have to report that yesterday one of these idiots once again tried to poach work that has been offered to the WTA guys in the manufacturer 1 & 2 offering. The resultant telephone call from said manufacturer has resulted in this character being removed from both lists. Two others will follow shortly if what I suspect is going on turns out to be confirmed. We all work so hard to put these things together for the good of us all and I will not let a group of shits screw up what may turn into something special. No names no pack-drill 👿

Re: Poaching

Well said.

I was not part of either the group of 6 or party to the original set up of all this, simply due to geography. To be honest until tonight I was unaware of said existence.

Suffice to say though that reading between the lines one or two has extracted the urine.

I suspect they may well be subscribers to the forum, even if not active members. I trust they do not have the privilege of the War Room however.

Re: Poaching

Quite.

We don’t understand it Alex as we hold the old Zanussi mantra of you “don’t f*** with another agent’s area…. or else”. So the dog eat dog shenanigans of these muppets is an alien concept to us.

But then, with some people, there’s no honour among them, thieves or otherwise.

I’ve never been able to stoop to those levels and hopefully never ever will, even when provoked.

Given that, I’m sure you can understand why people like that wouldn’t have access here.

That still prevails among those of us in Service Force land

It is an age thing.

Pleased to hear it, had enough trouble with Taffy-Boy, and have learned a lesson in not suggesting who is party to this little enclave.

Not just you to blame for that one. 😕

He’s the gift that keeps on giving, trouble.

Re: Poaching

Agree with you both above, I’ve been toying with which of these two is correct ‘alway give someone a second chance’ or ‘once bitten twice shy’ ❓
