It’s been a long time since I frequented these forums - some funny times offering free frimware & the odd heated debate👀 but it’s also been a wealth of information that’s got me out of hole or 2 but……. It’s over for me.
I started out in 1994ish doing copier repairs and after nearly 30 years it’s time to say goodbye to you all.
My company was taken over by an American brand just before lockdown in the UK - I believe the most hated to work on (yes they are shi*) and the place I currently work at has been decimated & butchered beyond belief by this American company. We’ve had about 70 engineers leave & the replacements have pretty much no experience on copiers which explains why they pay so poorly. We have no tech specs anymore - all left for other company’s. Branded cars & low spec cars/vans, the list goes on but I’m out for good.
8 years ago I went into business with my partner looking after adults with learning difficulties. The pandemic stopped us expanding quicker than what we have liked but now things have started to settle down we can get back on track. I’ll continue to work away from the business for the sole reason to pay off the mortgage quicker but it’s given me a comfortable life compared to earning peanuts in the copier industry & for that it angers me being that’s it’s a very technical industry , however it’s a shrinking industry so it’s time to get out.
I probably will forgot some on here but Blackcat, Debs, Llamagod, Tonermonkey & who can forget Zaza to name but a few have helped me tremendously & I can’t thank them enough & wish you all the very best for the future
Aka banginbishop - grumpy bastard - twat or whatever you want to call me😂
