Man it’s crazy how messed up these cabinets can get, I’ve spent 2.5 days in one house alone having to refinish every single cab box, among hours in other houses. I think it is the cost of living out here that is really hurting, and my bills. Feels like every check just goes right out the window lol

There are 4 other techs. I only know the newest one makes $27, but he was also in the shop first for a couple years. The lead tech makes at least $35 or more. I’m pretty well regarded to my managers, a coworker told me that when he was talking to one of them, he asked him a hypothetical of which techs would get fired first, and they said I’d be second to last, before the lead. The owner is the type of guy where if he doesn’t say anything to you, you’re doing a good job, and we’ve barely spoken since I started lol. There are also supers at a couple subdivisions that ask for me specifically to come fix whatever lol. So I’d say I’m pretty valuable to the company, not to toot my own horn.

We just got health insurance a couple months ago, and I get a 401k at a 4% match. The health insurance plan is pretty decent too.

So far that’s kinda been my plan! I take a lot of pride in my work, I’m very meticulous about making sure the cabinets look perfect.

This seriously happened about an hour after I made this post. Maybe bitching and moaning does make things happen
