JM>>> Your personal tools are YOUR responsibility. Why should the   
    JM>>> company pay for your handtools?   
      
    BK>>   Some do. Depends on the work. Some jobs the tools can be easily   
    BK>>   damaged.   
      
    JM> Wow, Bet you think that's earth shattering news.   
      
    Does that mean you don't understand the idea behind supplying   
    replacement tools?   
      
    NB>>>> On multi-million dollar projects, it's always a fight as to who's   
    BK>> work   
    NB>>>> is what  because each trade wants all the work, so they can stay   
    BK>> working   
    JM>>> there for years.   
      
    JM>>> So insteat of being effecent and professional they   
    JM>>> intentionally drag out projects to take more money from the   
    JM>>> people footing the bill.   
      
    BK>>   If you believe that you know nothing about private sector   
    BK>>   contractors, or fixed price contracts. No employer would allow   
    BK>>   that. Would you?   
      
    JM> I guess you are right Bob. I guess in my 30 years+ dealing   
    JM> with private sector contractors I have learned nothing.   
      
    IF you believe contractors will let them get away with that, it   
    would seem so.   
      
    JM> You on the other hand, who I doubt has had very much   
    JM> experience in dealing with private sector contractors,   
    JM> knows it all.   
      
    I have 45+ years dealing with management. I find they don't   
    allow dragging out jobs. Those who do such don't get jobs again.
