Care of Trees / Davey?

[Eric_E]

Hey Brendon,

Not sure where Seymour CT is but there is a TCOT office in Hamden. I worked there for a couple of weeks visiting from another office. That was a great group that did quality work. Hope it's still the same now.

I hope TCOT doesn't have to revert to Davey's older style. Thats going to be an enjoyable transition.

 

[brendonv]

Eric, that's around 35 min away. I'm not considering it any time this year, it's just something that's sloshing around in my head.

Thanks,

Brendon

big green is'nt all that bad to work for and they paid for mall my certifications although they do require you to wear their crap for insurance reasons so i've been told but then agian i've been around davey all my life so incidently i work there now.

 

[Jman]

What is thier policy on gear? I was told it was pretty old school in nature and nothing like TCOT.

 

[spydermonkey1]

its not they have a program that i went to to use more up to date things like masters or versital saddles w/ french prusiks but we still(well they,not i)dont even wear fall rated climbing helmets, they require you to wear a standard brain bucket in the tree thats why i wont climb on the job any more cause i'd be in a lot of trouble all my stuff is modified for running comps witch i'm sponsered by the southern utilities of davey(mostly just rooms,meals &travel) so my stuff is no longer owned by davey and i cant even bring it to work anymore

 

[inztrees]

so your a climber that does not climb?

 

[spydermonkey1]

yup not from 7 to 5:30 it's not my job any more(but i do climb regulary for my own companyjust not davey)

I have been with TCOT 20years if this Davey
thing does happen I hope we can still work
the TCOT way

 

[spydermonkey1]

[Rookieclimber]

Does John Hendrickson stihl do the 'Electricity' safety meeting with the toy fire engine and those little model people whose heads light up when they contact lines? Thats was excellent.

Maaybe that is why they are looking at TCOT to bring them along.

 

[allmark]

What ever happens going into things with a positive attitude leads to more success than a negative one. Hear say is just that.

 

[inztrees]

Good point man, They could just fire every one. Hopefully its just going to be a diffrent name at the top of the cheeck Im glag no ones buying us out

Yes he does. Very eye opening presentation.

One thing i noticed from my time at tCoT was how they would buy very good established companies. Maybe thats what Davey want to do.

Did the 'Safe and Beautiful Trees' thing on the west coast work out ok for tCoT?

 

[Norm_Hall]

Yeah, It's 1 of my training focuses. They have made good progress in safety. Now I'm workin on intermediate rigging skills and crane work. I absolutely love working in the Bay area.

 

[allmark]

I think Davey might just be buying the whole company to get NORM!!!!!
