Hey guys, just looking for a bit of advice.

I've been an electrician for about two years now. For the last three months I've been doing BMS commercial installs – panels, tray, trunking, that sort of thing. I'd never done any of it before, so I came into it very green. I was honest and upfront with my boss about this and he took me on anyway.

Since starting, I've learnt a lot. I've made mistakes too, but that's how you learn – you fuck up, learn from it, and don't do it again. I've genuinely been enjoying it: learning how to put tray up, cut it properly, install trunking, connect panels, and just getting more confident.

The thing is, my boss has been giving me a lot of shit. I get that it's part of the industry and I can take criticism, but lately it's been a lot worse. He came up to me and said I haven't learnt shit and haven't learned fuck all in the last three months.

What confuses me is that he's left me on jobs by myself, I've got everything done, and afterwards he's told me, "Good job, well done." So hearing that I've apparently learnt nothing doesn't really make sense.

Then he said I should be on the same level as his other electrician who's been with him for six years... when I've only been doing BMS for three months. That really knocked me. I'm not saying I'm perfect - sometimes I can be a bit slow picking things up because of my dyslexia, and I know that can be frustrating. I take responsibility for that. But comparing me to someone with six years' experience feels like a bit of a low blow.

To top it all off, he's decided to reduce my pay significantly (I’ll be earning £1 above minimum wage). I honestly can't survive on what he's offering, especially living in London, so I've got no choice but to leave.

I'm just wondering what other people think. Am I expecting too much after only three months? Is it me not picking things up quickly enough? Or is he just being a bit of an arsehole? Maybe it's a bit of both.

Also, because I've been working for him, I've lost contact with a few agencies I used to work with. If anyone knows of any decent agencies or companies looking for electricians around SouthEast London, I'd really appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction.

Cheers everyone.

Hey airsoft people, can someone give me some advice?

For months now I've been debating which Wolverine MTW I should get. I really want the Forged version, but it's pretty pricey.

One of the main reasons I'm looking at Wolverine is because of its reliability and gas efficiency, but the cost is making the decision

difficult.

What I'd really like to know is: are all the Wolverine MTWs pretty much the same when it comes to range and accuracy, or does the Forged actually perform noticeably better than the Billet and other models?

Also, can anyone recommend a good optic for a casual player? I'm mainly looking for something practical rather than a full DMR setup.

Thanks!

hey guys, I’m new to the airsoft world and recently picked up an AAP-01. I’m also looking at getting an SSP5 but can’t decide between the 5.1 or 6 inch version. If anyone owns one and can give me some advice on which is better, I’d really appreciate it.

I’ve also got a CQB game coming up soon and I’m still learning all the rules around joules, PSI, FPS etc, so sorry if this is a basic question. I just want to know if my guns are likely to meet site limits or if I’ll need to lower the power before I play.

If I do need to lower it, what’s the best way to do it on gas pistols? Different gas, lower weight BBs, changing parts, something else?

Any advice for a beginner would be massively appreciated, thank you!
