I've had a gut full.
I started to get used to it then when Jim came out he re-ignited the flame.
I'm sick of being told to STFU and mind my own business.
By doing this I am minding my own business, in the caretaker sense of exposing the hypocrites and hacks. That in effect will help my business, the more of them that lift their game or piss off the better.
Good trees getting butchered for a buck.
People calling themselves arborists who aren't or worse, who are but forgot what it means.
I'm trying to make a living in this city too, the right way. I leave written quotes and clear explanations and have more info on my websites than these guys
(including customers) would have read in their lives about trees.
No-ones rattling the cage, no association is addressing it or has addressed it since I've been around ... must be in the too hard basket. How many of these hacks are hiding in organisations as I type?
Well, tough shit, it's getting made public, and the best part is you are allowed to.
Putting pictures of your tree work on the internet should be something you'd be proud to do, not scared of and threaten people, that my friend is a blatant sign of dishonesty and fraud.
I even had the glen from Q-Build say to me,
"how'd you like it if some-one followed you around putting pics up of your work?" Yeah, I'd love it, bring it on, in fact I do it myself nearly every day, I'm bloody proud of my work and proud to walk away from insistent fools wanting a hack job.
Feel sorry for no-one, they chose to do it, they have a brain ... it's up to them how they use it. It really makes my skin crawl to hear their pathetic threats and justifications ... and their
KNOW IT ALL BULL SHIT!
When I drive around I look out for this stuff, you should all do the same and take a pro-active stance. Post them up here and get the facts, question the customers/authorities and tree companies ... if it's going to change then it happens for a reason, and that reason will be the evidence we supply.
