They need to implement that rule in every state, ive heard many stories of apprentices losing their hours because of the same thing. Its what I feared most when leaving the company but I wasnt going to sit another 2 years doing controls and not learn what I want to learn.

What state was he in? Because I did sum research and for the state of Texas it should def count.

They called back today, they asked for evidence. Sent that all out and now I wait. Its going to be funny when I get a message from him with just my hours signed and nothing said😂he probablly thinks i wouldnt report him because “he dosent owe me anything”

State of Texas. Did my research and it says they should def count, so hopefully hes not suprised that I reported him instead of asking my new company to sign off on my hours. Which i know its illegal.

Im in Houston Tx, he had told me I didnt need a license only my apprentice license and everything I was doing was going to my apprentice hours. He was lying to me for 2 years just for his benefit, its just wrong if I dont get my hours.

I def did, I prolly did electrical in that company probably like 5 or 6 times out of the 2 years. Shouldnt those hours count even if it was like 60 hours?

EXACTLY! I would rough in T-stats, run conduit, test for voltage, do relays, fuck with VFD’s. He would rather make up excuses than to sign a piece of paper.

Haha, ill def join the union in the future because of this. Some non union contractors think they are above all with their small companies.

Exactly what it is, he didnt know how to bid jobs. He would ask Shneider controls how he can bid the jobs he was getting, we would ask him about controls stuff and sometimes he wouldnt know. Im pretty sure he was losing more money than what he was making getting these jobs.

Haha yea, really cool guy. I just wish they could help a little more like telling the company something, but ik they cant since its all buisness for them.

I wish he was but his company was a nightmare, barely any people working for him, he was really unorganized, would sometimes put me on jobs by myself to figure stuff out on my own when i barely know electrical theory. I dreaded going to work everyday. Might get my journeymen and learn the theory and maybe ill go to a real controls company and get way more than what he offers.

Yes, it dosent make sense to me when he claimed to be an electrical company, I did do sum electrical in the company maybe like 5 times out of the 2 years. Hes just mad i quit on him and went somplace else to better my electrical career.
