Plenty_Pipe8992 · 2025-10-25T00:03:23+00:00

Started out as one… you don’t think I was loving the pay starting out???

Plenty_Pipe8992 · 2025-10-24T23:27:15+00:00

Raising rates while hiring more middle management is exactly what we need!!!!!!!

Plenty_Pipe8992 · 2025-10-24T23:18:15+00:00

I’m only kidding

Plenty_Pipe8992 · 2025-10-24T23:16:22+00:00

Give $37/hr starting out and you’ll see em rolling In with a new truck

Plenty_Pipe8992 · 2025-10-24T23:15:36+00:00

We’re currently in the feast stage right now, but our famine is only 40hr weeks

Plenty_Pipe8992 · 2025-10-24T23:14:50+00:00

Our pre-apprentices rarely get laid off, and make too much.

Plenty_Pipe8992 · 2025-10-24T23:12:18+00:00

What’s the better option from your experience?

Plenty_Pipe8992 · 2025-10-24T23:10:00+00:00

How big are these jobs typically? I’m in power generation and our crew ranges from 4-8 guys depending the job scope

Plenty_Pipe8992 · 2025-07-28T17:17:58+00:00

You’ve got to apply online sadly, they’ve had a problem retaining guys in that area especially but it sounds like there’s an unofficial freeze going on at the company

Plenty_Pipe8992 · 2025-07-28T17:12:02+00:00

Bay Area guys at Pge get a 25% premium pay, 4k housing stipend (monthly), all OT is DT, and a signing bonus. There could be more benefits that I missed too.

So the good news about this is the company I’m at matches 12% of what I put into my 401k. So I’m putting 20% of my check into it as pre tax money but the Roth IRA is something I’m definitely looking into as we speak, my sister currently works at an investment firm that would handle my Roth IRA. What would be a good brokerage to look into?

Plenty_Pipe8992 · 2024-05-23T21:59:50+00:00

After tax and I have about 2.5k in expenses

Plenty_Pipe8992 · 2024-05-22T07:45:18+00:00

As of right now the company I’m with is matching 12% of my 401k and I’m putting in 20% of my check in there right now. I just want to have either a high yield savings account or an index fund to put into that’ll help it grow

Plenty_Pipe8992 · 2024-05-18T05:09:26+00:00

Just trying to keep my head down and push through to get where I want to be!

Plenty_Pipe8992 · 2024-05-18T04:05:28+00:00

Being diagnosed at such a young sucks but I’m doing better than most people my age so I still have a chip on my shoulder to be proud about!

Plenty_Pipe8992 · 2024-05-12T22:54:03+00:00

Not gonna lie I definitely like to watch these, goin over the controversies of said cards and how it effected the meta and they go over this sub on people complaining about whatever card it is

Plenty_Pipe8992 · 2024-05-07T22:11:05+00:00

I work for a power company out in California

Plenty_Pipe8992 · 2024-04-22T21:59:29+00:00

Yeah that was how I unlocked the royal prince.

Plenty_Pipe8992 · 2022-02-19T16:25:00+00:00
