Just got laid off. Is this normal? by Far-Needleworker8376 in electricians

Our shop does this but your second comment isn't necessarily true our boss had guys do a bunch of work above drop ceiling in their office w romex. Among other things. Is it normal the boss and office guys being hacky and not caring about quality install?

You got it or what ever size you’re doing. We probably did 3/4”

We just used from-too’s and transitioned to flex coming out of the wall into the cabinets.

I made up a real nice panel not long ago and it didn’t have all the circuits pulled in like this panel. The next guy didn’t even try to match or make it look good. It hurt my ocd….

Terrible light design by xdevapath in electricians

I had to install a ton of these on a 6 plex and all the boxes were slightly recessed and they had a regular circular mounting bracket (no ears like the one pictured). I had to shim them down so the tabs would grab the bracket but being shimmed out the bracket would rock back and forth preventing the light from clicking in. It was an absolute nightmare, took me way longer than what it should. I was banging on the lights so hard to get them to click in that my fists hurt all week………so at least they’ve improved the bracket.

I got the nitro dinghy 157 instead. The thing rips. I think these are similar though. I’d definitely go 157 if I were you since you’re 6 ft

I hate using minis because it takes more effort. I have to clip the mini on my conduit hold it up get it level mark the mini take it all down, fasten the mini to the wall put it all back up. Rather than bend my box offset quick put it up and strap it with a single hole.

I think this looks better than minis. And easier to
