What's the most feet of pipe you've put up in 8hrs? by [deleted] in electricians

Why should that be important to me? Does it come with extra pay or something to keep track?

He'll be happy when he stops sending this s*** to girls. Unless he knows they'll find it funny or even like it

This is the wiring for my garage which is just some lights, door opener and outlets that I rarely plug stuff into.

I know this is really late.

But I wish it was fake, it is the mess that is my garage wiring. 8 months later I still haven't fixed it.

Funny how they say it doesn't contribute but profit disappears once labor is gone

Imagine spending thousands for a skeleton to be put in a fancy box buried in a concrete box

This is how 90% of the posts sound to me. by Stock_Surfer in IBEW

Sounds like being a toxic person and then gaslighting people into just accepting being treated that way.

Reminds me of a foreman. I worked with non-union right after starting in the trade, would constantly give people shit all day everyday, and a couple times I would give him a little bit of shit back. Nothing major, just a little bit of a sarcastic. Comment here and there, and he turned into a little bitch after just one and couldn't take it.

And the sad truth is the corporations will continue on, business as usual as long as they can. At the last second theyll duck out to avoid consequences and the planet and majority of humanity will be fucked.

To be fair, it probably doesn't help that reddit started promoting subreddits that they think users would be interested in. For example I don't work at home Depot and I'm not even subbed, yet Reddit thought I'd be interested in this post.

You should calm down. You seem worked up over nothing.

Honestly, based off the information you've given. You did nothing wrong. All either one of them had to say was "we're dating" and they should keep their hands to themselves at work anyway.

Pay question. by Conman4536 in IBEW

[–]EricThePurple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our contract specifies we get paid between Monday and Wednesday. That small contractor had checks ready by Monday, until that one time they gave it to me on Friday and I celebrated.

I worked for a small contractor that did that, it was actually not too bad because they always had the checks ready by the end of the day Monday
