The Dirty Secrets of Your TradeSo, Television is a hot bed of lies, deceit and made up competitions. We can't say that we are that surprised... every job is full of this stuff. It's not like the newspapers currently kicking TV whilst it is down are all that innocent.
We'd like you to even things out a bit. Spill the beans on your own trade. Tell us the dirty secrets that the public need to know.

ManufacturingI work in an engineering company.
The engineering business is riddled with back-handers and dodgy deals. Orders are got by giving money to the person in charge of handing out contracts and the money to be made if you are one of these people is unbelievable.
The car I drive was purchased by my boss from such a chappie who was looking for a quick buyer in leui of a huge contract coming our way.
Quotes are given to companies and the amount is changed by the buyers once they know what everyone else is quoting so you get the job.
Its definatly not what you know but who you know.
*oh! and we sometimes get asked to make grease nipples. 6 years later it still makes me giggle*
