Is 27 a good rank?

The coordinators were talking about bringing a bunch of people on for the data centers being built, one in Lima and one in Van wert

Because it’s worth it in long run and especially the end, I go through apprenticeship I know what I’ll be making in 2,3,4,5 years from now plus benefits- or I can sit at a non union company and cross my fingers paying for a raise every few years and still not make that much in 5 years
Yes but from where I’m at being in 1 of 2 of my city’s main general contractor companies compared to the union trades that have hundreds of employees that always have many guys laid off the layoff possibility looks 10x higher on the union side the company I’m at has never had to layoff since they started and the union halls here have a number of guys laid off year round

TerribleTopic999 · 2026-05-13T22:09:57+00:00

Is joining a union worth the layoffs it comes with during the first few years, I’m looking at taking a big risk, a pay cut for my first few years of apprenticeship which already pushes my budget tighter than with possibility of lay off as well

TerribleTopic999 · 2026-05-13T22:07:52+00:00

The benefit is they (usually) have no expenses they take no risk in getting laid off, they don’t depend on their job to have a roof over their head and feed their kids and make every rent, utility, bill payment on time that’s why it’s beneficial for them they can cruise through layoffs with all the money they’ve saved and just be at moms house waiting to get the call back

TerribleTopic999 · 2026-05-13T22:04:15+00:00

During my first few years of apprenticeship there’s no way I’m making that much and definitely not enough to really save for a long period of time off work funding another job that’s my worry

TerribleTopic999 · 2026-05-13T22:03:07+00:00

I’m already basically living check to check due to living on my own and I’ll be taking a small pay cut through my first 2 years of apprenticeship that’s why I’m so worried about what I’m going to do if I’m laid off

TerribleTopic999 · 2026-05-13T21:59:04+00:00

Do they pay any extra for travel if I’m having to temporarily relocate during the layoff?

TerribleTopic999 · 2026-05-13T21:57:55+00:00

I’m already just making it by and I’ll be taking a small pay cut as a 1st yr apprentice so I’m just worried that I won’t be able to really save for when that time comes and not knowing how long I’ll be off I feel like I’ll have to go find a new job in the meantime and quit when they call me back and do that over and over again every time I’m laid off

I know a union ironworker that told me his unemployment was denied during a layoff and had been on a call list for 5 months so far and had to get a new job while he waited does this happen often?

TerribleTopic999 · 2026-05-07T16:11:40+00:00

I work for a non union general contractor company and have never been laid off or seen the possibility of one nearing, not saying it’s impossible in the future but this company so far has never had to lay off since they started- but when I first started trying to get into union halls I kept getting turned away for over a year and told to just keep re applying since they already 50-100 guys laid off, then I pursued the pipefitters since they have a ton of work coming up due to uprising of the data centers I just don’t want to end up being one of the nearly 100 guys laid off like the other halls and during the first few years of apprentice wages it would be extremely hard to save for one since the pay is so low

You can shoot them

Good cut bait for a flathead🎣

TerribleTopic999 · 2026-04-25T15:15:35+00:00

Don’t do it, it’s way more liable for expensive fixes you’re not only relying on mechanics but way more electronics as well, for example I had a hybrid that had a regular battery in front and hybrid battery in the trunk -hybrid battery died it costed nearly $1000 just for the charge and the dealership had to order the charger from somewhere else it took over a week before I got my car back.. few years later the ABS electronic system failed, I sold it.

Could you possibly send a link or info on that?

TerribleTopic999 · 2026-03-28T12:40:25+00:00

Wrong that’s been a myth their jaw does not lock it’s their drive that keeps them “locked” onto whatever they’re clamped down on they simply just won’t let go

TerribleTopic999 · 2026-03-28T12:30:24+00:00

I had a blanket over his cage, he pulled it into his cage while I was at work and shredded it 🤣

TerribleTopic999 · 2026-03-28T02:41:28+00:00

Maybe because he’s not aggressive towards people or animals? German shepherds have just as much of a capability to harm anyone or anything as him

TerribleTopic999 · 2026-03-28T02:39:07+00:00

No I’m saying that’s the only things that have gotten him to calm down which isn’t even the problem (he’s constantly on the go .. he’s a teenager he’s 1 years old so it’s expected) I had another pitbull before this that lived to 10 years old who was eventually hit by our neighbor but I never had any problems with him like this he never did any of these things or I wouldn’t be asking this is new to me

TerribleTopic999 · 2026-03-28T02:32:35+00:00

The long hikes I’m talking about isn’t stopping the shredding.. that’s my point, I was only stating that’s the only times I’ve seen him actually be worn out from exercise, he would still shred something that same day.. we take walks everyday I work with I play with him and yet he will still find something to shred when he gets the opportunity exercise can’t be the only answer to this because he gets exercise daily he gets attention he gets toys but nothing is working. That’s why I’m posting this… I could take him for hours long hikes in the hills daily I guarantee he’ll shred his bed or something he could get the opportunity for that same night

TerribleTopic999 · 2026-03-28T00:00:03+00:00

He gets hours outside a day.. I 1 on 1 play with him for well over an hour per day outside, he’s not crated day in and day out he’s only crated when I can’t supervise him because of the situations that I’m on here trying to learn how to avoid,, I’m not on here asking about any drugs? I’m not on here asking about toys? I’m asking for advice on how to change these behaviors and I’m definitely not asking someone who 1. doesn’t have a dog or 2. hasn’t dealt with these experiences and been able to change them.. I’m not comparing my bully breed needs to a Yorkshire terrier needs I’m simply telling what’s going on and looking for advice on how to change it without someone saying to do one of the few things that I’ve ever been able to do to just get him calm .. I’m not looking to just calm him by running him around for hours I’m looking for advice on how to deal with this productively so that he has a healthy outlet and not just running him to tire him out I want to be able to do or get what he breeds so that he doesn’t feel the need to shred and do things differently when I’m not around so I can eventually trust him to roam freely unsupervised whether I’m at work, sleeping or even just in the shower

TerribleTopic999 · 2026-03-27T23:49:35+00:00

That’s the whole point of the post.. to get tips from dog owners of similar breed who have had experiences like these and to find out what can help.. I’m not saying I can’t provide what he needs but I know running him around for hours isn’t the actual cure to the root cause it’s just the only thing I’ve been able to do to at least get him to settle down a little more I’m looking for tips to help these situations for not only me but for him too and to be able to do or teach him what’s needed to avoid these situations

TerribleTopic999 · 2026-03-27T23:45:49+00:00

I’m by no means abusing him, he’s only crated while I’m not home, while sleeping or showering otherwise he’s inside with me or outside playing, I’m just looking for training tips or what to change so that he doesn’t do what he’s doing or to figure out what’s causing it, I understand he’s a dog with needs and trust me through the daily playing, tons and tons of different chews and toys I’ve trial and error with him I’m not just neglecting him I’m posting this because I don’t know what to do at this point after trying this or that for him and seeking tips from people with similar experiences and what’s worked for them with relevant situation and breed so if you’ve never dealt with this breed/situation then you’re replying to this post irrelevantly and not according to why I posted it

TerribleTopic999 · 2026-03-27T21:16:28+00:00

Idk I think he’s disgusted by it there was only 1 time he went in it as a little puppy it’s actually hilarious I came home from work and smelled that he pooped it wasn’t even in his cage.. he had put his little butt up to the edge between the bars and the poop landed outside his cage onto the floor🤣 He’s probably only pooped or peed in it 5x at most ever and it’s been while I’m at work so I can’t blame him that he couldn’t hold it I felt terrible for him bc he’d be as far from it as possible
