John and Don are sprinkler fitters in the Seattle area. In this short video they discuss a major concern that many sprinkler fitters in the state of Washington face: job stability.

John has been a sprinkler fitter for long enough to know that even in an in-demand industry such as sprinkler fitting, sometimes work gets slow. In this video he discusses the benefits of having a solid support system in place when the economy dips. John appreciates what it feels like to know someone has his back when work slows.

Don works in a management position where he is responsible for hiring new sprinkler fitters and keeping them steadily employed. In this position, he is determined to only hire people who he can keep around until the day that person retires. He isn’t just looking for anyone for the job at hand–he is looking for someone he can watch retire under his guidance. His main point is this: if you’re good at what you do then we want you around, and with us you are not a number.
