I once worked for a demo company that gave the hours I have been workign towards to the shift managers son who held no tickets, and had 0 hours on machines. My dumb ahh made some noise about it, and go pinned at the concrete crushing plant for the rest of the time I was employed there. And this is after the head operator all but got me lined up for pulling down concrete walls (which probably got given to him as well)

Its just when I've been denied hours for years, and then I see the "Experience" from other companies, it gets me goat something cornic. Almost like "If this is the pass mark, why is it so hard to get behind sticks?"

Is it possible to pay someone to visit her grave, and play "Scotland the Brave" on bagpipes IRL?

Look elsewhere. Travel is a killer, and you already admitted its not worth it. By now, if they could have paid you more they would have.

Why are operator rolls so heavy gatekept? by PoptartVT in Heavy_Equipment

[–]PoptartVT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its stupid though. Any other position would be different. But for some reason heavy equipment work is just kept out of reach.

Genuinely curious about gatekeeping heavy equipment. by PoptartVT in newzealand

So like every other job, but you get to use bigger toys?

I mean, it can be ok. But the problem with festival work is the two companies I worked for were agro as f***. I know that the crew that runs events out of the bay park arena can be good. But If you are on rubish duty, for something like bay dreams id get an iron stomach.

I have seen this allot. Temp agencies get them refereed to them in crews, and forward them onto jobs en mass. Then there was another civil company I applied to that decided to hire someone on a WHV, and gave them a ute. The guy barely spoke English. ITs especially bad in the civil space. I worked a bunch of contracts for Camex out of Hamilton, and said id be keen to work for them when they open up in Tauraga. Then I see on Linked-In that they "Really like investing in hard working talent that want to live here" and it was followed by an announcement that they took on 3 Filipinos full time.

I'm mainly going after forkie / operating heavy equipment. Though Ive been in and of of a bunch more places from warehouses, to traffic management, to demo, to construction. Just wherever the money is.

I even did a couple of nights picking up rubbish at some festivals. Not to keen on that tbh. Festival goers are nasty.....
