Electricians are being pushed into aggressive sales roles that prioritize closing high-margin deals over honest electrical work, undermining professional integrity and making it difficult for tradespeople who just want to do quality work to find fair employment.

Workarounds Described

• electricians being forced to attend sales training that involves lying to customers
• job postings explicitly demanding sales killer mindset instead of technical skill

• bonus incentives tied to 5-star reviews

Implied Software Gaps

• Job platform that measures and promotes technical qualifications instead of sales ability
• Anonymous employer rating system focused on ethical practices and technician respect
• Compensation comparison tool that breaks down base pay vs. commission pressure
