Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
I imagine this is a very busy and challenging time for the slope stabilization industry.
With so much free time out there, how come young people aren't joining the slope construction industry?
I think that just shows how little people understand how fair public civil engineering contractors are.
How can I convey this appeal?
Lately, that's all I can think about, and making estimates is such a pain lol (I'll do it, but I just don't want to lol)
But that's beside the point.
Sometimes, someone who was part of a team at a company suddenly decides to go out on their own, right?
People who suddenly quit their jobs to start their own businesses.
Well, I do have some ambition, but there's more to it than that.
There’s a phrase that site supervisors often say to craftsmen who are reasonably thoughtful and reasonably skilled.
If you go independent, Mr./Ms. ○○, I'll give you work!!
That's what the devil would say, lol.
Taking those words at face value, they mistakenly think, “I can land jobs even if I go independent!”
I'm not saying that becoming independent is a bad thing.
I think starting your own business is a great idea, and by doing so, you create jobs and keep the economy moving, which helps boost the economy!
I support people who are starting their own businesses.
However, you must not become independent by listening to the devil’s words like those mentioned above!
That's because it's neither a lie nor the truth.
The director is speaking from the bottom of his heart. However, most of them are office workers with bosses.
Ultimately, the final decision on which contractor to hire is made by your supervisor or the company.
Even if you say you’d like to ask Mr./Ms. ○○, things can easily change if your boss decides that Mr./Ms. △△ is the one for the job this time.
Furthermore, even if Mr./Ms. ○○ is personally trustworthy, that doesn’t mean the company he or she founded is trustworthy.
A company’s creditworthiness applies strictly to other companies.
It's not an individual.
This is especially true for public-sector entities like ours.
It’s a big mistake to think that just because you’ve gone independent, you’ll immediately start getting good jobs.
Well, I’ve been busy lately, so in a way this might be an opportunity, but there are actually plenty of contractors who’ll rip you off.
That’s exactly why it goes without saying that you should rely on a company you can trust.
And it’s virtually impossible to trust a company founded by someone who acted dishonestly.
As I mentioned last time, how you quit your job is extremely important.
Trust can only be built by taking one step at a time.
It absolutely never piles up all at once.
It’s a small industry, so even a single act of dishonesty spreads like wildfire through word of mouth.
Conversely, the director shouldn't say things like that either.
I said something like that myself a long time ago, and I still remember how it ultimately led to a very regrettable outcome.
If such individuals are planning to go into business on their own in a systematic manner, there is no problem at all; however, a supervisor within the company who lacks decision-making authority should not be the one to encourage them to do so.
Since it was Mr./Ms. ○○ who decided to go independent, I have no choice but to say that it’s his or her own responsibility.
Let's be careful, because in the end, the director might end up being ungrateful in a sense.
I still regret that to this day (it was a contractor from Hiroshima).
See you later.
