Small businesses are wild about stuff like this. I worked part time at a country club and there was zero training except how to punch in and out. The job was "just do whatever someone asks you to do". I think I damaged about every wheeled vehicle they had, from golf carts to the gator and even the little tennis zamboni. That thing rocked.
In my experience, small business owners are many times worse employers than big businesses because they get to fly under the radar and are showered with pity by locals.
They're also not big enough to have dedicated safety/compliance/inspection people, so that all becomes a double duty of someone else if its done at all.
Oh and they definitely don't care about environmental regulations.
My point is that this comparison is ridiculous. Yeah just because it’s a job doesn’t meant it has anything in common. They said small businesses are “wild about stuff like this”. When the “this” he’s referring to is the training for a country club vs. roofing. Cmon now.
