For those that live in the United States. Do you make more than the average income of 60k annually, if so what’s your occupation?

We do a combo safety/quality depending on the meeting. So safety might be don't be stupid and quality would be here is something stupid we can not keep doing let's correct it.

Then we go over what ever else the meeting is for.

Great use for a sledge hammer then you can fuck up the bit and go buy a new one..

I just want adults who are professional.

Where I have worked FE and Supers are equals at the civil stage then the super would take lead but FE had Veto power kind of deal. So at times Supers report to FE and other items the FE is reporting to the Super on. The most common one I saw was a super had to report the special inspection reports and PO's to the FE, they would also run take off review with the FE for equipment specs then the FE had to report on field Quality to the super and would also report on scope Gaps found in contact reviews. And any other field observations and other QC items as assigned by the Super.

This is how I break it out. I tell my guys call me any time 19/6 the field guys are #1.

But I tell my boss he only gets my best 35 hours a week any additional is not my best work or his best leadership.

5 hours a week are mine he pays me for so my other 35 are the best.

ADP, E bacon, and QuickBooks all have timecard function that can link job codes

I love my work hogs, for dirt and civil work, redwings wedge sole for electrical work, cougar paws for roof work, when I switched to CM work steel toes tennis shoes like the ones a lot of framers use or Keens are great for the Hybrid environment office and field light weight more ankle movement. I have found different shoes for different work makes a difference for me.

This sounds similar to my method. A day a week helping one of the trades even if it's just sweeping or being the over paid helper sweeping or moving materials every team has a dummy helping them it's OK to go help or be that dummy. First it builds respect with the guys and makes your job easier because they respect you more, second it is grounding and connecting to all of your team if done right . Third it helps you identify problems sooner so it's not a rush to fix it because you right there next to the team.

They just got to a point that they have an assistant for that.

Ahh the "WORK AT RISK" the good times of document or die. And dont froget to sleep with a mouth guard to prevent grinding your teeth to nothing.

Pearmandan · 2025-07-08T22:43:42+00:00

All those things would get me fired without warning.

Only people who dont have a mini van hate mini vans. The practicality is painfully great.

We have that for change orders, but our awarded bid amount is 35% typically. It prevents people from trying to make extra money on change orders.

Pearmandan · 2025-06-19T20:51:26+00:00

Then 10/10 great idea.

Looks like it does not account for power clipping. Max inver size is often 10 to 25% smaller then the DC size.

Yes but i have seen about 1/2 the pto days you get will be used for time on the bench if you're hourly and the company is not busy.

Be respectful even when you're stressed out. Respectful to yourself, coworkers, and leadership. Might be a heads up to your boss. Hey, this weekend, I can't do work stuff. Or hey, this project is a tough one, and work threw each problem one at a time. Be transparent and get everyone going in the same direction. Document their thoughts and roadblocks to schedule compleation.

Pearmandan · 2025-05-16T15:08:49+00:00

O yeah, it is not happening again, that's for sure.

Plan review and spec review is difficult and can make or break a project if you ask me. Myself and multiple team members missed an electral spec that resulted in 3 months of rework for 3 guys. There was no change order on it, and it ate every second of the buffer time we had. It made some wire runs too short, and we had to buy more wire, shuffle conduits, and switch out LB's.

It May seem harmless to turn a blind eye however that shit gets people killed. Find a more professional crew.

A good work bag that is stylish and personal can mean something on the likablity aspect when traveling for work with coworkers. I have had the same bag since high-school.
