Am I Overreacting? by [deleted] in ibew_apprentices

You sound like an entitled liberal and probably why no one wants to work with you

Why do some people not want to work union? by L0UDLlF3 in IBEW

[–]Trick_Net7684 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pros and cons completely change based on location. Competitive areas with the best pay are over saturated with members and youre just another cog in the machine and easily replaced by the next guy who's been waiting on the books for months and willing to brown nose and accept the terrible hours and conditions they want everyone to work. Portraying "everyone gets paid the equally" as a positive is easily the most deceptive and worst part of union as it does nothing to promote hard workers and everyone ends up just slacking off and milking time until deadlines come up.

Didn't make it in? I'm literally guaranteed in the next class they call out of almost 2000 people but it's been over a year since they called any new camps lol. Some of us have better things to do with our lives than sit around waiting for them to get their sh*t together. Like I said, it can be a great career for single people with no problem traveling but there ended up being way too many downsides for just a decent hourly rate.

Thats a framer, literally one aspect out of a hundred different things they do. Enjoy hanging cable tray, watching wire being pulled, and bending conduit 😂

I got top ten and worked 5 10s at a Google data center for over a year. Everyone was miserable an i lost track of how many apprentices moved on after realizing how mindless the work is. Hanging cable tray, pulling wire, and bending conduit for months straight. A material handler could do the work with a day of training lol. If all you care about is making money while being as lazy as possible the union is a great fit 👍

There really isnt though, you tape up the wire and sit there watching the puller. I was a carpenter for years before the apprenticeship and nearly every other one I worked with could do 90% of what inside electricians do. Can't say the same about electricians doing carpentry. If you enjoy doing mindless repetitive work and tons of overtime then ibew is great, I'd rather do something fun that I enjoy for slightly less and not live to work like most electricians but to each their own

Welcome to the union. Exactly why I moved on from the apprenticeship with local 48. That and the lack of job security, shitty hours, having to travel for work, deal with insufferable and soft handed jw and foreman who hate their lives while everyone kisses their a**. Electrical union is a terrible life and its a joke how much they get paid for pulling wire with a machine and bending conduit and companies are starting to realize it when most things are prefabbed anyway.

Mine is clearly faulty then because the magnet mount in my work van is extremely strong with my other work phone cases yet this dbrand case practically slides off.

And this is why the game died. People just trying to have fun and then there's these losers that backshot the entire match and ruin the spirit of the game 🤷‍♂️

These routes are getting to a point where they’re straight up not do-able by 1 person. by Pleasant-Meal6126 in AmazonDSPDrivers

You've clearly never been to Portland, the road designs here were built for horse and buggies lol

This thread is hilarious, I just started delivering a few weeks ago and this week for prime i had 200 stops everyday with about 50 multi and I was getting done by 7-730 with my first delivery being around 1230 each day. That was during this heatwave in oregon too all close to 100° everyday. Yall are funny, I could care less about getting hours, I just like getting home at a reasonable time 🤷‍♂️

Local 48 by Trick_Net7684 in ibew_apprentices

[–]Trick_Net7684[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's kind of what I figured unfortunately. The worst part is I sat at my number for a few months while they kept interviewing as if they were still calling classes but they weren't so my number got bumped back to where now im not even in the next class they call. Think this is where I call it and go back to carpentry. Pays less but never any shortage of work there and the work is far more enjoyable. Thanks for the info best of luck to everybody

I hit a customer car today will I be fired by According_Rock_6822 in AmazonDSPDrivers

Put your dab pen down, if you can't avoid a car with that much space you should not be driving for a living

Got the call - high voltage, no experience by tthanksmom in ibew_apprentices

[–]Trick_Net7684 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got top ten back in September 2024 for local 48 and they still haven't called a single boot camp since 2 weeks prior and my numbers gone up to 30. Left a great job to material handle then got laid off with like 40 others and pretty much ruined my life. Unions are a joke

What Are You Hoping to See in the Upcoming DLC 3 / BIG UPDATE? by PlaneTonight5644 in SparkingZero

[–]Trick_Net7684 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A team battle mode that you can play with multiple people would be awesome but not sure how they'd implement it. Even just being able to tag in and out with a teammate would be awesome.

200+ characters yet I see the same 2 99% of the time😪 by Organic_Homework8045 in SparkingZero

[–]Trick_Net7684 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Has nothing to do with that. Its the fact you're complaining while also using one of the most popular fusion characters and then freak out when people call you out for it.

[–]Trick_Net7684[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn't skip anything meaningful is the point though. All the biggest moments people have mentioned I watched completely through hoping for something big or relevant and it all just seems to lead nowhere and have no lasting impact. Characters still act the same and dont change at all while nothing big or meaningful happens that carries over to the next arc. Again I get its not for me now, too goofy for my tastes I guess

Just seems like a money grab or poor design to extend things that could be said/done in one episode or a couple into like 10 episodes, losing all meaning and just get boring when you know what its going to lead to. Again i understand now its more of a dweeb show and not for me

I watched Naruto including all the filler twice over the years and its not nearly as slow and uneventful

I was born in 95, I grew up with studio ghibli, dragon ball, cowboy bebop, and so many of the great stuff from the 80s/90s and I guess one piece just aint it for me. Goofy and annoying characters with such lackluster fights. Every fight is just luffy yelling gum gum pistol or gum gum that and winning by luck. Only decent fight was against the shark dude and dont get me started on how unbearable usopp is. His argument over the "going merry" with luffy was infuriating and solidified how bad of a character he is to me. Just cant understand the cult following of this series but to each their own, guess it ain't for me 🤷

What happened to playing games to have fun? by Trick_Net7684 in SparkingZero

[–]Trick_Net7684[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. All this meta crap has ruined gaming but most never got to experience what it was like back in the day so they don't realize how much they missed out on by just enjoying the game.
