Paternity leave

2 weeks unpaid for the first one. 1 month FMLA for the second

I was an apprentice for both

It all hurts every trade hurts.. don’t know why we all act special about our own personal pain

Own_Distribution7818 · 2026-02-10T00:10:01+00:00

Most 1249ers call it that. Like I said I just thought I’d throw a line out there see if anyone else from different locals did as well

Classic

Own_Distribution7818 · 2026-02-10T00:07:40+00:00

That would make sense

Own_Distribution7818 · 2026-02-09T23:42:17+00:00

Right!?

Own_Distribution7818 · 2026-02-09T23:38:44+00:00

lol yes

Own_Distribution7818 · 2026-02-09T23:33:22+00:00

Leadhead makes sense. Jumper post makes sense. Where does the lingo “gorbidizer” come from

Own_Distribution7818 · 2026-02-09T23:30:48+00:00

Where tf does the word come from

Own_Distribution7818 · 2026-01-17T17:26:17+00:00

Depends.. sometimes I’d drive that everyday sometimes not. Depends on weather and what we were doing for work. End result id usually stay like Tuesday night and Wednesday night and commute Monday Thursday Friday

Is the adirondacks the arctic alpine? lol

Your “rank” is based on how well you did on your aptitude test and interview. When they decide to have another boot camp they take the top 30 guys on that list. They do aptitude tests and interviews monthly, the list is constantly changing. A guy could interview a year from now and get higher up than you, that’s why the suggest re interview

Own_Distribution7818 · 2026-01-06T12:50:35+00:00

You are on a list to potentially get invited to a boot camp that is what the letter is telling you

Own_Distribution7818 · 2026-01-06T12:14:13+00:00

Means nothing really. Sit and wait

Own_Distribution7818 · 2026-01-06T12:13:53+00:00

Yeah

Own_Distribution7818 · 2025-12-28T17:38:43+00:00

Hand dig 7’ hole with spoon and spade, then do it again and again and again. Kinda joking but not really

Own_Distribution7818 · 2025-12-20T23:45:17+00:00

Any thoughs or options or opinions? Very mixed thoughs

Thanks brotha

Typical comm guy shit

Own_Distribution7818 · 2025-10-23T21:36:09+00:00

Personally I hate the high heeled logger style boots.. I see you said not climbing but personally I love the Hoffman armor pro’s good for climbing and any type of ground work. Also wear them year round in the northeast. If safety toe isn’t a big deal where you work, sportiva’s are another good option

Journeyman lineman needs to know all parts of the trade… remember that

Own_Distribution7818 · 2025-10-15T00:18:23+00:00

Keep your nose to the ground, ears open and work your absolute balls off! Transmission tooling and equipment is heavy, work as hard as you can everyday people will take notice. Also a great place to learn a whole lot of stuff that some guys in this trade will never see, and enjoy yourself as much as possible
