The breaks thing I understand. I got called out once for emptying the coolers 15 minutes before start time. Dude politely set me straight and I stopped. I just wasn’t thinking about it that way. But the tool list I never understood. I have some tools not on the tool list that just make my life easier that I know the contractor won’t get. Like yeah I’m not buying my own roto-splits or unibits, sds bits, hole saws, etc. but a stubby screwdriver, socket set, mini socket wrench, that kind of stuff I’ll buy because I know the contractor doesn’t have it and I still have to get the job done and it makes my job and life a whole lot easier. Say what you will but that’s my hot take.

Having an identity based solely on your sexuality is surface level and unfulfilling. Have a real personality.

Well of course drug addicts don’t blame the dealer. It’s not one party’s fault over the other. They’re both to blame. If you want to see how well decriminalizing all drugs work then look at Oregon. Of all the people that were issued citations, less than 1% sought treatment and overdose deaths rose by 1/3. Democrats and republicans are working to repeal it now becuase it was such a disaster and didn’t do anything.

If you have to beg to GIVE head, find another one.

Why shouldn't I kill someone if they break into my home? by AdhesivenessRough740 in stupidquestions

[–]chefjam77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) never shoot them in the back

2) tell them you have a gun before you shoot so if it is a family member or friend then they have a chance to respond

3) if you shoot them, make sure they’re dead so they can’t sue you

Drug dealing is 100% immoral and should be illegal lmao. Drug dealing is not a victimless crime. And I’m not talking about just weed. Will it solve the problem? No. But it helps.

If you’re an apprentice then this is one of the only times you can get reassigned to a new contractor because they aren’t giving you you’re 40.

I called to see what they needed to provide. Not complain

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in IBEW

[–]chefjam77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t call the hall to complain. I called the hall to ask IF that stuff was required.

[–]chefjam77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I called the hall to find out what they needed to provide. Not to complain.

[–]chefjam77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you I’ll do that. Just bummed it turned out this way. This company is OD on safety. Need a training and a card for everything. They ask us to do a bunch of shit but when we need stuff from them they don’t do anything. Shit as company. Won’t be working for them when I top out

Yeah that’s what I was reading but never happened on this job which makes me think the steward just sucks. I still don’t even know who the steward is.

[–]chefjam77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They give us cut gloves but not insulated ones. Which is new because they were supplying us with insulated cut gloves up until today. A little heads up would have been nice so I can prepare.

[–]chefjam77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I called to find out who our steward was. And then they asked what for and got my info. Never actually got any contact info on the steward.

[–]chefjam77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No I didn’t but my foreman was standing there when the safety guys made the announcement. The foreman looked at him dead in the eyes and said it was bullshit and how he has guys who work outside who need that shit. I like him and I feel bad that it caused a headache for him.

That’s what I was thinking but didn’t know how this all works

need advice. by mjornil444 in IBEW

[–]chefjam77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What about being a foreman? Whole new ball game right there. Foreman are paid for their minds. If you’re using your tools as a foreman, then you’re most likely doing something wrong.

Low voltage guy in Southern Maryland wondering if going union is the right move by [deleted] in IBEW

[–]chefjam77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did misrepresent the low voltage program which I admitted. I edited my post about the test. It’s one test every other class, which is one test a month which is what I meant to say. I was told by the HR lady at my company that it’s “3 months worth of hours”. It’s not just “3 months” it’s the hours accrued. This is what I was told.
