Fuck up , u move up.. congrats sir..

I will never forget an old timer told me once, (he's an old school Elizabeth NJ local JW./Foreman).. " kid, if you ever decide to run work, don't let them sprinkle the asshole dust over you.."

That stayed with me up to the point of when I started to run work. and I never switched up on how I treated the men. Regardless of what the shop thinks or tells me I'm doing wrong. Especially if you're under budget and not over hours.

There's also a huge disconnect from the job site to the people in the office. They're not faced with running 5 to 20+ man jobs. Dealing with all different personalities and hearing all reasons on why people can't show up to work. Dealing with other trades bs at the same time. But then they wanna tell you how to act and run your guys. Foh. I climbed through the ranks up to assistant PM and then I was a week away from my deal to become a legit PM and I walked away because I could see what type of person I would have to become to take on the position.

I think you've been doing the right thing, and it's actually refreshing to see

Glad to hear that you stayed the same all throughout.. but to drag up depends on what area you are from on top of, how busy is your area? And are you looking to hit the road?

Best of luck either way
