I was in the trades - IBEW 134, and IBEW 21 for close to 30 years. In my observation, about 10% of the workforce in construction trades are useless. The only recourse: send them back to the hall for some other unsuspecting contractor to draw from. I ran crews where I would call the office and tell them to get rid of the guy on my job. He would inevitably turn up again down the road on another call out from the hall.
Now, let’s switch to IBEW 21 Ameritech/SBC/at&t. Close to 30% were dead weight. I saw a guy get fired for surfing porn on his company laptop, get his job back, because they could not prove that he was actually in control of his laptop at the time the company spy software flagged the action. Mind you, laptops have AD and password complexity requirements. I have several equally ridiculous situations where people got their jobs back after getting fired.
I am on a withdrawal, and been on the sales engineering and sales side for about 9 or so years now.
Just my experience.
