How long would you give a labourer?

[Lewwwiss]

how long would you give a labourer with no prior experience plastering to get into the swing of things.. knocking up without having to ask if it's ok and getting consistency right all the time and other bits that a labourer would typically do..

You don't have a labourer then?

A week or two. If he was lazy or on his phone all the time, a day or two. If he was a bit of a fuckwit but eager, a bit longer.

I agree with the principle, but time doesn't allow though so it's either they hit the ground running or it's see ya.

I took a lad off of here a few years back apparently just done a year at college, struggled using a hammer lol.
The two key things for me are time keeping and enthusiasm, his time keeping was good, but zero enthusiasm.
