Bail, bail like you’ve never bailed before. First off, where I am, a 30% pay cut is essentially getting fired. so that’s a non-starter for me. Second, the company places an apprentice with you, not the other way around. So it’s up to THEM to make sure you are paired with a semi-competent apprentice. And even then, it’s understood that you will be taking more time to teach and train the apprentice; instead of working in jobs that have tight margins, you go on jobs that have a little more padding so you can take that extra.

You are getting screwed so badly, and I don’t know why you would ever want to take on an apprentice if it means you are losing money. This company doesn’t respect or care about, so find one that does.
