    Re: When appliances quit, most of us don’t call a repairman

    a truly depressing but true thread.

    sorry to echo from b4 BUT….
    I can honestly see our jobs ending up where tv repairers are now. 😥

    RRP’s are gone, currys sell cheap washers for less than 200 pounds, with hardly any margin. they buy in bulk and where they make their money is by selling coverplans.

    everything is just built to throw away 😥 😥 😥 or “dash weh” as we lot say in the caribs 😈 😈 😈

    Re: Why do Customers ……….

    get the same thing from aircraft engineers who usually ask for brushes for their servis induction motors and stuff.


    Had an airline captain in catherine-de-barnes, solihull ref. Bosch Washer:

    Capn: “Hi From what I know about washers, the bearings have collapsed”

    Tech: “No sir, your top weight has come off”

    😳

    Customers…… 😥

    Why do they never read their manuals!!!
    Guaranteed the scrubber will offer you your only cup of tea of the day.

    Also had to fetch a pair of ladies knickers from sump….i was more embarrased than her 😳 😳 😳

    Merloni are offering figures of an 85-95{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} first fix rate. 😆 The accountants figured that one out obviously, I love these projected figures. 😉

    The rates discussed appear to be bang on the money, £16 per completed call.

    Roughly they will supply 70{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of the work you recieve (here’s the sting) and 30{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} you have to find for yourself. 😕

    Apparently the take up has been poor on the offer for some surprising reason, I wonder why? 😉

    K.

    Hi Kwatt…..
    The RFT (right first time) is now 95{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}. This includes recalls within 30 days. How the backside are you supposed to maintain an RFT of 95{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} on a cr@p product?

    Re: Hotpoint Advertise Franchises!

    Im not from wales. i had to travel there from the midlands though to do calls, thats when i knew that hotpoint had lost the plot.

    then theyd, for example, send someone from far to do my area and vice versa????? 😯 😯 🙄

    A Merloni engineer told me last week that there are practically no Merloni/Hotpoint engineers at all in Wales. It seems they are having to cross the border from England just to keep up with the backlog.

    It is just rumour though, unless anyone can confirm or second this.

    Yes alex, this is true, I was one of those engineers.

    Re: Hotpoint Advertise Franchises!

    Heyyy

    For the salaries, deduct £1,000 per annum from what theyre advertising. Then get it paid in dribs-and-drabs througout the year.

    Deduct another £1,000 if you live above the M25

    Dont tell you that though DO THEY?????

    Then: deduct 10pence per mile from salary each month for any private vehicle use (that is logged into emit computer every day – trust me). Then get rollicked for using it for personal use in the 1st place!

    …Oh OH…. Then, they forgot to tell you that YOU will foot the Bill for the mobile phone calls over £20. whether business calls or not. Or you will have the debt collectors on your a$$.

    snotpoint are excellent at lying to their staff and being shady with their recruitment advertising and now they are paying the price…

    Imagine what theyd do to the agents????
    Go figure..

    No one wants to work for you anymore Mr J.H……..

    Just saw it in the Peterborough local rag. It is advertised as “job of the week”


    John

    “joke” of the week more like.

    I have met up with a merloni franchise engineer yesterday.

    They look after him well.
    £15 per call to £18 per call depending. Wow.

    No wonder he will be dumping them in a few month’s time.

    Even at £150 per call i wouldnt work for them again. 😡

    Merloni make me laff. One minute they try to make engineers redundant/sacked and next minute they claim to be crying out for them. And i bet Mr Milani @ peterboro thought “if we get these franchise suckers to sign up we can sack em when we feel necessary!”

    Also the statement about them approaching their employed engineers to take on franchises is FALSE.

    Im avoiding this. 😥
