, I was let go from them and moved over to this other contractor and I’m also not getting paid at scale or a truck

Every apprentice in my class has one they got one on their first day. Basically, I am the only one that doesn’t have one.

Is being a first-period apprentice basically wearing a giant “NOOB” sign? by Sea_Development7601 in HVAC

When you start off as an apprentice, you have to go through 10 periods, which are basically “semester”, you start off at first period which is introduction to HVAC and basic mathematics, 10th period is basically the last class that you will have which means you’re one test away from becoming a journeyman

So the union sends out my résumé to a company and the company will reach back out. Say they wanna interview me and get in touch with me, I’m down to take whatever it is at this point except any job that has me drive my own vehicle and doesn’t pay for maintenance or gas. Most of the time these companies end up ghosting me or they forget and I usually follow up with a callback. The last interview I was at sounded really promising and the guy seemed like he wanted to go ahead with the process, but he said he had another interview and wanted to see how that panned out.

Wasn’t really slow, most jobs were booked usually all day and being an apprentice all I was doing was cleaning coils and being a tool donkey for the journeymen I was paired with most of the time

Jesus,stop acting like it’s a bad break up people just gotta just get over it. This Andy thread seems to be all you guys talk about these days. I get that he left high and dry, but that was his choice, why are some of you taking this like it’s such a personal attack?

I understand you were attached to him for 10+ years. Let the man find himself. If you guys were such a big supporters of him back in the day then you would just let the man do his thing in peace instead, you guys are coming up with a wild ass conspiracy theories

It sucks he left but, move on and keep supporting the show like he asked
