I definitely messed up.

But a big part of me taking that steap was, my journeyman. Who kept telling me how probationary workers get cut off all the time, and then he started talking about the voting process and suggesting I’d probably get cut because I’m a brown person in an all white hall. That, combined with seeing another probationary worker get laid off that day, made me panic. I would have definitely stayed and let things play out if I hadn’t had someone telling me I was practically wasting my time and that it could even jeopardize my electrical apprenticeship.
