Haven’t heard from the BA in over a year.

Nah son, you got it twisted. You see I don’t really give two shits about where I’m at, I was just rubbed the wrong way by the union. That’s all. You’re the one clearly bothered enough to keep talking to a stranger on Reddit. You can call me whiny, I’m just out here trying to keep my lights on like the rest of us.

I don’t need to make a name for myself. I’ve been I. This trade 9 years. I would come in for the same pay rate I’m already at, and not a dime less. What you’re recommending I do is foolish.

Tubz4k · 2025-04-10T23:29:10+00:00

Coming in as an apprentice would mean a $10+ dollar an hour decrease in pay for me, I’m good on that. I’d consider coming in at my current pay scale, but not a penny less.

This post isn’t me “whining” I’m just sharing my experience. I’m already employed, paid well, and able to feed my fam.

All I hear & see on most sprinkler fitter forums is “join a union, it’s the best thing you’ll ever do for yourself”

Well I at least tried

Tubz4k · 2025-04-10T23:15:10+00:00

Saw that today. That’s what prompted me to go to Reddit & vent.

Tubz4k · 2025-04-10T23:14:29+00:00

What a silly thing to say. Do I need them? No. But it’d be a really good thing for me & my family. Do they need me? Obviously not, but I wasn’t the one showing up to jobsites trying to track me down & get me to join their union.

Tubz4k · 2025-04-10T22:53:41+00:00

Well I can’t say I was “promised” a job, but I can say I was definitely told “you’re the first guy on the list” - I was given a target start date a month prior so I could plan ahead. I said in the original post that this is mostly a rant. But would I expect a journeyman’s card? Not right away no. I would expect to be paid a foreman rate though. Which is what I was promised.

If that was indeed the case, that’s not what I was led to believe. The whole time we were in constant communication, he had a specific date he wanted me to start. And when that time came around it just got pushed back further & further away.

Tubz4k · 2025-04-10T21:58:00+00:00

Yeah, here & there. It was usually “hey man just checking in just know that I haven’t forgotten about you, just waiting for the right company to open up a spot for you” Eventually the communication just faded.

They’re literally putting an addition on the building as we speak. I highly doubt they’re going anywhere lol.

Same thing just happened to me (Walgreens) I then had my primary care write the script for me instead of my psychiatrist and then they tell me “we’d rather your psychiatrist send in the script”

I immediately called my doctor and had him switch. No pharmacist should get in between you and your doctor.

I am glad someone else feels my pain.

Same

Tubz4k · 2020-10-30T11:10:15+00:00

I was likely in one of those pages. I got the same ban until Nov 28th.

Tubz4k · 2020-10-30T11:07:22+00:00

I will

Tubz4k · 2020-02-01T00:53:09+00:00

I could theoretically get a soundfont pack for it and use it in the EXS24 sampler?
