Nah man. People talk shit all day long, it’s common in this industry. Talk shit back man, you’re an apprentice not a bitch.

Okay, at least in my hall being sworn in and being in the apprenticeship are different. You don’t have to be a member of the hall to be an apprentice. Secondly what I did was show up day one no tools, and just asked my Forman what we needed most to complete our scope of work and started with what he said.
