NON-ENGINEERS OVERRULING LICENSED ENGINEERS
ANYONE WHO HAS EARNED A PROFESSIONAL LICENSE NEEDS TO SEE THIS DVD TO PREVENT FINDING YOURSELF “BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE”
BY VIEWING THIS DVD YOU WILL REALIZE IT IS EASY FOR SOMEONE IN CHARGE TO MAKE DEMANDS WHEN THEY HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE;
NO LICENSE, NO PROFESSIONAL ACCOUNTABILITY.
THERE IS NOTHING HYPOTHETICAL IN THIS DVD
MANY PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYEES ARE LICENSED TO PRACTICE IN THEIR CHOSEN PROFESSION. THEY MUST MAINTAIN THEIR LICENSE AND COMPLY WITH THEIR CODE OF ETHICS
LICENSED EMPLOYEES WORK FOR SUPERIORS WHO DO NOT HAVE THE SAME OR IN MANY CASES NO PROFESSIONAL LICENSE. THERFORE THESE SUPERVISORS DO NOT HAVE THE SAME CODE OF ETHICS OR PROFESSIONAL CONSTRAINTS REQUIRED BY THE LICENSED EMPLOYEES.
A NON-PROFESSIONAL BOSS MAY ASK OR DEMAND YOU TO DO SOMETHING IN VIOLATION OF YOUR PROFESSIONAL CODE OF ETHICS.
IF YOU REFUSE YOUR BOSS, YOU MAY LOSE YOUR JOB;
IF YOU COMPLY WITH YOUR BOSS, YOU MAY LOSE YOUR LICENSE AND ULTIMATELY LOSE YOUR JOB BECAUSE YOU ARE THEN NOT LICENSED TO PRACTICE IN YOUR CHOSEN PROFESSION.
THE NON-LICENSED, NON-PROFESSIONALS HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE……,
ONLY THE LICENSED PROFESSIONAL LOSES.
FOR THIS REASON ALONE YOU MUST SEE THIS (DVD ) VIDEO.
THIS DVD WILL GIVE YOU A “HEADS UP” ON WHAT CAN HAPPEN IN THE WORKPLACE AND HELP YOU PREPARE YOURSELF TO AVOID SIMILAR SITUATIONS.
THIS DVD SHOWS A NON-ENGINEER APPROVING SITE PLANS THAT HAVE HISTORICALLY BEEN APPROVED BY A LICENSED PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER.
ED TURNER P.E. WAS CITY ENGINEER ON APRIL 30,1996.
