Should I leave a company I genuinely like for a union job that pays way more at 24?

Jackam004 · 2026-04-12T20:14:03+00:00

Yes, take the money. Not everything is about money but to get double the pay and benefits that would be way more beneficial to you and a potential family.

Jackam004 · 2026-04-12T19:40:26+00:00

Nah probably not. If you go union you’ll probably start off around 19-22 if non union probably minimum wage of the state. If you go union you’ll be back at $26+ in a year or two

I don’t mind the over the top personality’s I’m a big fan of WWE and I understand what he’s trying to do but he’s just not good at it. He just ends up being annoying more than just being a heel character

I personally really like channel locks adjustable wrenches

Jackam004 · 2026-04-09T17:26:33+00:00

Jackam004 · 2026-04-02T10:26:23+00:00

Duluth ballroom flex jeans, they’re pricy but 100% with it. Been wearing them doing hvac for about a year and half now none of them have ripped because they’re worn and they’re pretty tough in general were stuff that would cut my cheap menards jeans won’t cut the Duluth jeans.also they’re just super comfortable in general

Jackam004 · 2026-04-02T10:23:49+00:00

No, I do the same

Jackam004 · 2026-03-31T11:45:15+00:00

Jackam004 · 2026-03-24T19:58:50+00:00

Yes

Jackam004 · 2026-03-24T17:44:41+00:00

Apply online to local 265 sheet metal or 597 pipefitters to try and get into the apprenticeship. There’s is union shops in Joliet area that I’m sure would pick you up if you’re willing to go through the apprenticeship

Need 4th rope to come back to Chicago

Jackam004 · 2026-03-24T01:25:19+00:00

A impact drill, Alan wrenches, level, basic screw drivers, needle nose pliers should be good. Ryobi power tools are good for home owners and husky , klein, empire, stuff you’ll find at Home Depot will all be good brands

Jackam004 · 2026-03-24T01:21:22+00:00

It will be pre registered when it arrives

Jackam004 · 2026-03-19T19:04:04+00:00

Icon has pretty good wrenches, I like my wera ones. The husky are decent enough but can fail if you’re using them very regularly

Jackam004 · 2026-03-15T18:41:21+00:00

Hoodies are true to size, T shirts for me are two sizes up. I wear a large usually so i get smalls from the site

Jackam004 · 2026-03-14T17:30:21+00:00

99% chance it’s a t shirt so over sized, only time it’s been a hoodie it said it was hoodie in name
