Subject: DON'T LET IT SLIDE Hi,
This isn't
right!
You should stand up
to this kind of critisism, and tell it like it is. Tell them the difficulties
today in finding qualified help...how it is that no one today wants to work in
the trades. Everyone wants to be in Marketing; Entertainment; Sports; or just
plain on the dole, and hanging out in bars; sports events; theme parks; in
front of TVs; hunting; or fishing.
Tell them gone are
the industries like shipyards, foundries, and the like where tradesmen were
developed through apprenticeship. Where spillover from these large industries
supplied the small operators like yourself with top notch tradesmen.
Tell them that the
serious Vocational High School that graduated professional tradesmen are a thing
of the past. Tell them today the push is on for such things as Marketing;
and Performing Arts...fantasy jobs. Tell them there aren't any real hands-on
jobs for the younger generation, just Service Industry jobs like with Disney; or
Burger King.
Fine young people
bowing and scraping for tips like in some Banana Republic.
People just don't
know...the average person just doesn't know that there aren't any more tradesmen
out there. The few there are are spread so thin a small business has to go
begging for qualified help...and patience on the part of their
customers.
You try to serve
them with nice products, but you're shot down every time another large industry
goes foreign. Tell them...don't let them go away thinking it's your
fault.
