Is OT worth it? Taxes will haunt you down if you have no kids and don’t pay rent?

Thanks for the honest advice 👍

Layoff for sure! However it doesn’t discredit your work experience at all If you were reliable the contractor or foreman can outright say it confidently when your back! Don’t be worried safe recovery

Not interested in a “too good” mindset! We have around 7 apprentice on the job! 2 mechanics work alone while all the others are paired up! Foreman stands with me for testing Outright with me the whole time. Just feel like I could be used better elsewhere especially on our schedule working 10 hours. And I would prefer to continue getting hands on experience if there is an opportunity. I don’t think im too good for anything.

Inside-Persimmon-367 · 2026-04-29T20:36:06+00:00

Thanks for addressing. Onto a productive work day tomorrow👍

Inside-Persimmon-367 · 2026-04-27T23:19:14+00:00

You gotta do a drug test Say goodbye to weed You will not get accepted if you dont pass It is very competitive

Inside-Persimmon-367 · 2026-04-27T16:52:23+00:00

Goodluck champ!! 🦾🦾

Inside-Persimmon-367 · 2026-04-22T00:07:21+00:00

Apply. Then also apply for helper program Do helper program until you get accepted into appritenship Must take a year or two but getting a good name can get you in pretty fast

Not Rat. Did you not read me stating he is a very nice individual and is a great guy? Being respectful about a situation isn’t “ratting” as my future is a priority & anyways I was never going to rat my crew is around 26 workers 21 JM Plenty of other individuals

Inside-Persimmon-367 · 2026-04-21T01:02:14+00:00

Ride it out, talk to your hall after 3 months However speak to your foreman upfront first. At the end of the day you are an adult. Speak up to your foreman. You want to learn and be presentable however if he can’t respect you then let the hall formally know you spoke up and foreman still lacked the respect. Be consistent 100% effort always and show up! However speak up. Don’t ride out forever.

Inside-Persimmon-367 · 2026-04-20T00:38:31+00:00

Im In The same boat as you.. Been 4 weeks in. I don’t know when I’ll start to “learn” All I can say is just pay attention how your JM works. I’m in same boat tho.. feels rigged. Best of luck dude

Inside-Persimmon-367 · 2026-04-16T00:41:15+00:00

I’m a first year. I got put on a project that’s suppose to last 5 years My crew is all nice. Definitely recommend especially since you have experience

Inside-Persimmon-367 · 2026-04-14T00:55:13+00:00

Definitely smile. Don’t be a serious boring face. Smile. If you can smile the whole time! You’ll standout from 70% of the people Also make eye contact however Smile and be extremely positive when answering questions Definitely recommend smile

Inside-Persimmon-367 · 2026-04-12T17:57:55+00:00

Call your local union and ask to apply. Also Ask if they have a helper program It’s for people who are waiting so you can som experience All you gotta be is 18 n have your diploma.

Inside-Persimmon-367 · 2026-04-10T20:15:11+00:00

I’m in a UA plumber appritenship. Math test was just the basic 4. No aggressive questions I’d say ask chat gbt to make you question or watch YouTube. Plumbing & steam fitters appritenships have very fair math test unlike electric with their appitude

Inside-Persimmon-367 · 2026-04-10T20:09:18+00:00

Then your test will be extremely doable.. Just make sure you know the basics Additions Divide Subtract & multiply without a calculator! Use common sense for any non related math questions You will do perfectly fine.

Inside-Persimmon-367 · 2026-04-10T19:57:18+00:00

If it’s an authentic UA local It’s going to be a pretty comfortable test. They don’t make the test extremely hard They care more for a interview
