So, the situation you're posing is a registered professional land surveyor signs and seal work while in the employment of someone else and later, after leaving that employment, can only give surly answers to questions about something for which he or she is professionally responsible? What's wrong with this picture?

Boy. The designer guy sure makes a simple answer like "I do not possess the files you need. That would be with my former employer" into a very long response that must have taken him quite some time.

While it was funny, it's not a good way to generate any goodwill. It' sort of like TEDD telling some nosey neighbors that he was surveying for a nuclear powered sewage treatment plant. It was awfully funny, but I am sure there were some reprecussions later.

I personally think that the only ones that should seal any work are principals of a company. I've never sealed any work as an employee and don't believe I ever will. If the owners are not licensed then they shouldn't be doing work that requires a license.

I know that is not how it's done in many places. If you as an employee are sealing work then you are taking on way too much liability for what you are being compensated.

Where the rubber hits the road only the principals (owners) are in responsible charge. Every one else does what they are told or looks for work somewhere else.

In my world you could never leave a job having sealed a bunch of work as an employee. It just wouldn't happen.

Just my opinion.

Kent,

Chalk it up as to, “the naïveté of youth” Sooner or later he will figure out things!;-)

Have a great week and Thanksgiving!

I love it!

There have been a number of times where I have written such a response in similar situations, but never so eloquent as this discourse!
And, I have never had the cojones to press Send...

"I personally think that the only ones that should seal any work are principals of a company. I've never sealed any work as an employee and don't believe I ever will. If the owners are not licensed then they shouldn't be doing work that requires a license."

Strange view - the owner hires registrants that are capable...

"I know that is not how it's done in many places. If you as an employee are sealing work then you are taking on way too much liability for what you are being compensated."

Maybe I'm the exception, but I have been compensated quite well for many projects I've worked on for my employer.

"Where the rubber hits the road only the principals (owners) are in responsible charge. Every one else does what they are told or looks for work somewhere else."

Again - strange view. Many, many company owners are not in responsible charge, their employees are. Do you think that the CEO of a 5,000-employee firm should be in responsible charge of every project? Many are not even ware of some of the smaller projects.

Just my opinions.
