yes i guess the training or lack of obviously does have an impact, but there is a underlying attitude with the majority of out sourced engineers weather they are fully trained or not and that is they don't really care for the job or its product....its just a job its been the same for years and will continue and this is because the out sorced contract company doesn't give a hoot about the tech and will load up the engineer with jobs regardless and then expect him or her to complete everything to the standard VM sets. now I maybe wrong here but in house techs including service are able to not do jobs once they have reached daily hours limit or there abouts, I guess thanks to a union which contract companies are just not interested in. This was never an option for me (contractor) you were out till you were done. My
minimum day was 10 hours! and this was 5 days and then 6 with forced overtime. When quite often I used to work out the hours I worked against the weekly pay my hourly rate was comparable to someone on a minimum wage and that is no bs. so cutting corners had become part of my tech skills... laughable until you realise that most other techs do the same on every job.
When will someone from these large companies take on board that continually giving an engineer lots/too much work will result in major corner cutting to a level where the engineer incorporates this attitude with every job he completes. This is a result of overworked and undervalued engineers and the fact that this is how the industry has operated for years and I don't think it will change soon.
