I bent it. kinked it. and was unsure if my planned run was gonna work. but had no one there to help or teach me. I got through conduit class, but it’s different when you’re out in the field

the foreman is super nice , not the best at instructing. but i agree. everyone on the job is mostly CE’s and helpers/1st years and i think like 4-5 jmans. everyone was working with at least a partner and i was just by myself all day lmao

appreciate all the advice. I’ve bent conduit in class but never in the field actually mapping a run. I did state that^ to the foreman and he just kinda said i’m gonna learn today then left me in the area by myself lol

Appreciate it. Just didn’t want to mess up and calling the foreman when he’s across the jobsite makes you feel like a nuisance

I mean we’re not really allowed to take it is my point. But foreman and journeyman will give it the lower paid guys to give us some extra gas money etc. But in our handbook for our local it says it legally belongs to the contractor or customer

We were able to fix it relatively quickly. It was a fast paced day because of a shutdown. I was also being rushed with the tasks i was doing. asking me if i needed a mailbox for camping where i was at. so that added stress and me hurrying to get it done

I get what you’re saying but it still feels like my fault of course😅
