Many have come, many have gone.

Hello everyone,

We have indeed been laboring in the lift industry for many years. We have seen doyens, brothers and managers who have dedicated years to this industry.

If you start to work at the right point and have a little luck, you will experience the colorful world of the lift industry. I would like to talk about people who have a background in the industry, not myself.  

I would like to mention about an old sentence “a lift used to worth an apartment.” In those times, the people in this industry were lucky and successful. They had business morality and conscience. This applied not only to employers, but also to employees. The employees and this business were valuable. Profits were shared. Superior-subordinate relationships and a hierarchy existed. 

If we are to give an example from the current status, we have started to witness that subcontractor workers take (steal) materials from the package lifts and use these in their own business. 

It has become commonplace to be in the same industry as people who stoop to 10 m of rope, two to three pulleys and simple well materials, and even to deny what they did, albeit it is proven, and to accuse those who do their job properly by saying that the material supplier did not provide enough.

You have to prove one by one the products in the package lift that you have prepared two to three months before, as if the workload is not enough. Most companies send the same materials again, although they are confident about the business they do, and incur losses compulsorily just because they do not want to lose the customer.

Now, let’s look at how this situation has come this far; the first reason is the ambition to make money easily: Those who have no foresight damage the industry totally as they have a mindset of rest is gray. This is not just about stealing materials but about misusing the company’s opportunities. Using company vehicles recklessly, doing things that would never be done if it was their own property and spending more fuel than necessary are the most worrying situations we find ourselves in today.

Just as there is no trust in employees, unfortunately in today’s reality, there is no trust in employers either. Everyone behaves in a way that leads to trouble to someone else. Employees have started to prefer those who offer a penny more, while employers recruit those who request a penny less. Experience or other criteria are up for sale for a penny by both parties.

If we are to turn back to the beginning of the article, we miss those kind people in the past where such troubles were not seen. We miss those wonderful people who took great care of company materials, who, let alone stealing them, got upset when something went missing because it was under their responsibility, and demanded a deduction from their salary to cover the loss.

The inference is that we are breaking bad as an industry, as employees, and as a COUNTRY.

Best regards,
