“

I can recall four cases of construction-related issues at my workplace over the past 5 years. It seems they took me for an amateur and accounted for that in their excuse-making techniques.

I respect craftsmen and consider it a field of work in which one may take great pride, but I'm sure the guys and companies that came over to my place also do work at a lot of other places. Their sort of attitude may cause some harm to society.

(Of course, I collected evidence for my case and got compensated for it all.)

“

過去５年の間で思い出すと我が仕事場では４件の建築関係のトラブルがあり、こっちが素人だと思っているのか『言い訳のテクニック』が全部すでに用意済みみたいなのだ。
私は職人さんを尊敬しており、それは誇り高い仕事をするところにあるんだけれども、家に来た人と会社は他のところでもやっているんだよね、きっと。こういう『心』が社会を悪くするのかもしれない。（もちろん、この件は証拠をそろえて弁償させた。）
