If you were to rate a worker by task and score them in three categories what three categories would you choose and how many points for each. For example,
Speed = 10 points
Neatness = 15 points
Efficiently = 5 points.
A particular guy I work with I would get 6 points for speed, 15 for neatness and 3 for efficiency. He does the best looking pipe work I've seen in a while but it takes him longer than I like and he likes to use parts I don't have handy and i have to tell him a cheaper or better way to do it.
Other categories could be accuracy, follows
direction, stays on task ect...
...how do you factor in a foreman/supervisors setting up the work in a way you feel is wrong, but must do it his/their way?
IMO, all seasoned electricians have strengths and weaknesses, its up to the powers that be to capitalize off the strengths, that's what maximizes profit
We really cannot say too much about efficiency.
It frustrates me to find people getting into a work area unprepared and not having everything they need for a task.
Worst thing is seeing someone stop every time they need a nut, bolt, coupling and wonder off looking for them.
Normally, with age comes efficiency just due to the fact that getting from point A to point B with aching knees and feet suck the joy out of it.
I try to look for extream efficiency in every task not only for economics but that I am a lazy bastard too.
A manager has three equally qualified female workers and he can't decide which one to promote, so he devises a plan: He leaves a $100 bill on each of their desks and waits to see how they react.
The first woman returns the money to him immediately.
The second woman invests the money and returns $500 to him at the end of the week.
The third woman keeps the money.
I have yet to see a hot female electrician, maybe a few cute ones. I have seen a few hot female pipefitters though. The ones with big boobs could probably beat my azz.
1) reliability- show up every day and not always with some excuse about not feeling good or needing to leave early
2) following direction- doing what's asked how its asked in order
3) common sense problem solving- knows how to deal with minor issues, lack of a certain item etc without it being a huge deal stopping everything having to ask "what do we do here.. duhrrrrr?"
If I could find someone that can get at least a 7-8/10 at all 3 of those I'd be set lol
Nancy Sparky = McClary would be my guess. The only way we can be sure though is if "she" uses a cartoon red headed female avitar..........
"Attached is a copy of a performance review we use for our Techs. 1st one at 90 day evaluation then every 6 months.
We do service and repair exclusively. It might have some points for non service oriented business as well."
Thats a pretty nice form Capn' Sparky except the part where electricians are renamed "tech".............. pisses me off every time. Pretty much enrages me. I just fired myself for insubordination.

A 'tech' is a guy from mr sparky that tells you your breakers are all expired and need to be replaced.. or a nerd from the cable co that plugs in tv boxes.
I'm with you I absolutely hate that term
