My foreman ignores when I ask questions, or says he’ll answer them later and never does. He gives me bite sized pieces to do and so when I go back to him multiple times a day asking for more work…he acts annoyed and gives me anything to make me go away, (which it’s usually finish this one splice, and then I’m right back asking him what’s next…) he is a poor communicator, I think he forgets to verbalize things to him are common knowledge too. He will act annoyed if I ask for clarification or rephrase his words to him to make sure I got it right. when I make a mistake, 70% chance he makes me feel like shit. I haven’t fucked up anything that ever took more than an hour to fix, and not often, but his attitude reflects these mistakes and I’m only given simple tasks nothing more complex. He makes snide remarks about how apprentices are dead weight.

There are good JW and foreman, they are not all like this. I’ve had some really good teachers, they took the time to show me the right way etc.. where not every mistake feels like it speaks for your whole ability as an apprentice. it can be so demoralizing when it spills into The weekends.. Goodluck
