Steve,
I think your experiences are reflecting what is beginning to occur in the trades,
the JATC is quietly lowering their standards in order to satisfy the contractors need of replacements for the retiring "boomers" ........
and there are not enough young folks who want to work any harder than they have to.........and Doofy certainly exhibits those qualities, even though he is in his 40's
plus, supervision is encouraging his behavior by putting blinders on when he starts doing something and screws it up....they say..."oh well, he's learning."
