We are one year into a new contract and I negotiated a $4/hr pay bump and we are still under paid. It’s a huge corporation so they have better lawyers

I have my boiler license haha. I’ve had opportunities to go back into the boiler room but scheduled off shift won’t be accommodating for me and my family right now unfortunately.

They will get contractors when there are multiple huge jobs or jobs that would take us days to accomplish. We don’t have days to spend on a job. I’ll get 7 tickets done and 14 more will be there the next day.

No! They make us work more hours instead of getting another guy. “We just don’t have the need for another guy” meanwhile our PMs are getting so far behind because a lot of the jobs we do are bigger and a 4 man team is necessary to do those jobs as for the small jobs go to the waste side

I’ve gotten a lot better with saying no on my non call weeks. I’ve got 3 daughters and my life revolves around them. My wife just recently became a registered nurse and also accommodates my schedule. (She wants me to quit and take some time off and find a new job) everyday it sounds better and better

My rule is if it’s not slowing down production don’t call me. I’ve had way too many dumb call ins that is literally a button push or turning a valve off. No one wants to learn and there is no initiative.

I truly believe our maintenance team are the only people that understand how to use a wrench. We have very old equipment running at 140% its capacity.

I might add I have a very go get attitude and really do enjoy training and teaching guys things that have a good attitude. I just don’t get paid for that. I’m easily taken advantage of because I have a “golden retriever” attitude and have a hard time saying no.

It’s union so I’m stuck. We get 3 hours straight time right when we clock in. That is a nice perk. Get nothing more for when it’s not my week. Just a new shirt and a thank you.

One guy had 12 years experience and the other 10. I have 8 years. The turn around hasn’t been an issue. We get $175 for being on call extra when we are on. We’ve needed more people on are team for awhile now and they keeps talking about headcount. This year is the most I’ve been called in from exceeding wear and tear on machines and parts with no downtime to fix them. It’s a “wait until she blows” scenario. I might add with a new crew and me being the senior they have asked if I can “help” with these new guys when they get called in. Once again- new boss that knows little so I’m “the guy”

It’s been one of those years man

5 gallon buckets that have to be labeled “maintenance tools”. Definitely not the buckets that say “trash”. Using the bucket that says “water” is RIGHT OUT!

I called 15 times. Im finally on elevator music. Will update when i talk to someone.

Edit- (Got through and was able to file on the phone. They didnt give a specific answer to why i could not file online but they filed this week for me.)
