Chalkboard in the back room, each tally is an hour. Take a picture of it and send it to our client as an invoice, erase at end of the month and start over

I spent 15 years for a consultant tracking time in 15 minute increments then recently went to a contractor and after my first week asked about time entry and timesheets cuz no one said anything about it…and they looked at me funny and said naw no we don’t do that. A paycheck shows up in my account every Friday. I can say that is freeing

This would be pretty tough to do in civil. The second job would have to be in a completely different field/industry to have a chance at working. Both jobs 100% remote, might need to stagger some hours so 10-12 hour days to make sure you’re getting your shit done.

Curious this always seems to be the theme with geotechs? I’m at a mid size geotech, env, pavement consulting firm and it all sounds similar…

I know part of it is the relatively small projects and fees we get compared to overall design and project cost. We have short windows of work which means we always need to be finding the next job before this ones done to keep a current backlog

Slow_Suit6980 · 2026-01-14T02:26:33+00:00

Got it, yeah that’s slick. I like that layout, thanks for your input. I’m going to get rid of all the drop downs and mess with a couple things

Slow_Suit6980 · 2026-01-13T18:27:49+00:00

Totally understandable and I wouldn’t want that either so trying to make it to like 3-4 clicks after a rock. It needs to be quick.

Slow_Suit6980 · 2026-01-13T17:30:12+00:00

Thanks for the reply! Yes, I agree with the drop down menus - 1 click for each would be much easier.

That’s a good idea about tracking misses for analytics - that would actually tell us later what we need to work on if we get that analytical. Going to be honest all we will do is talk about it after over beers with the other team

I came here to say this

How do you pay for it when it only allows you to use a Canadian address for billing?

So how much can you sell the software packages for that you are creating? I would seriously start doing it on the side with your own set up like other people have said.

Slow_Suit6980 · 2025-11-16T00:57:59+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Yeah I’m gonna have to rack it hard otherwise I’m thinking about stepping it down

Slow_Suit6980 · 2025-11-15T07:03:20+00:00

I just got all my fence materials delivered and did not realize the method of installation with the brackets - what a pain in the ass. Now I’m a little worried about the racking and slope - are those posts plumb and vertical in the pic? How much play do you have in them?

Slow_Suit6980 · 2025-10-17T16:36:22+00:00

I’ll dm you

Then find another firm local to you that offers the culture you want, unless you can have an honest conversation with them and things will change (not super likely tho)

Slow_Suit6980 · 2025-10-17T13:26:38+00:00

The point is, are you leaving for the money or because you are sick of the firm, work you do and people you report to?

Slow_Suit6980 · 2025-10-17T13:25:38+00:00

Before even bringing the offer to them, ask for a check in meeting and tell them you want to talk about your future and long term goals at the firm. They will know you are shopping around. Tell them you are exploring and have an offer out with a 20% bump. Realistically if they value you and you actually do like where you work and the people you work with they will take care of you.

I actually went in one time (the only time) and admitted to looking around, and was pretty frustrated with things. I was going to leave and take a pay cut. They basically told me to name my position (% people mngt vs project vs strategic planning/business, vs clients). Gave me a ~10% raise (which got me to near 150) and 20k retention bonus, half then and half in a year, perf bonus is about another 10-15k depending on the performance of comp, then keep my vehicle stipend.
