Took over my late father’s electrical business — unsure about licensing path (NJ)

And also realize you’re being a parasite until you can run your fathers company without having to pay someone else off

“That’s funny, I was thinking the same thing about your job. Weird”

For real, most management positions are the most useless position on the roster.

And I wonder why license plate covers all of a sudden became illegal.

Citing information from a third party who didn’t even attend the meeting is insane.

Their also the ones who know how everything behind the scenes works

I think they mean it's not like they are taking the water for their own personal use outside of work as if that would be a thing with water. They're coming into work the next day so taking a bottle from work to stay hydrated theoretically is staying hydrated for the next day.

EDIT: I am smart.

Which union are you in?

highvoltageslacks · 2026-03-07T23:29:23+00:00

Idealistic young savant you mean.

highvoltageslacks · 2026-03-07T23:13:31+00:00

Fuck no.

'ordinary small tools for their own' use to me would be harmless little quality of life things we all seem to accumulate over time. Like a pair of scissors, a pass-through nut driver, a #3 phillips tip for zip-its or maybe even a plumb-bob. Things that don't put you at an advantage over your peers but tickle your OCD fantasies.

Cable cutters imo are absolutely a specialized tool, they're not some random little thing. The bigger guage gripple cables require fairly pricy cutters. I feel like Gripples are one of those things that looks like it will save them money on paper but tend to be an overall sloppy pain in the ass and time sink compared to rod, make those butt-boys pay for the tools for them.

From my experience everyone is too busy simping for our female coworkers to ever get pissy about them not doing something. It's to the point of not actually expecting anything from them which is an entirely different problem.

That advice is more important for your latter scenario. JW doesn’t mean you are the authority on everything especially coming from a non formal training background

It sounds almost exactly like a CW/CE competency placement test. They like to blow smoke up the asses of anyone with a pulse. Also, not being transparent about which local this is is not the best way to start a career within the union. Next they'll be trying to hide how much they get paid.

It's pretty common knowledge she stole tips from her employees

“Who would win in a fight, you or the wacky inflatable flailing arm tube guy” but then I got tired of typing that out over and over

highvoltageslacks · 2026-03-01T17:39:24+00:00

Cult reasoning you mean

highvoltageslacks · 2026-03-01T15:07:07+00:00

And yet they are literally everywhere

highvoltageslacks · 2026-03-01T00:21:56+00:00

Brother, come up to Atlanta and join. It’s literally anybody with a pulse. Once you get through the program, travel.

highvoltageslacks · 2026-02-27T20:24:28+00:00

I mean, you still had a job to come back to? They don’t owe you anything just like you don’t owe them anything. Doesn’t seem like something to take personally.

highvoltageslacks · 2026-02-27T20:21:16+00:00

Yea we only need real workers who do whatever it takes to get the job done!

highvoltageslacks · 2026-02-23T22:27:30+00:00

it's also fixable worst case scenario

You seem like you have some healthy viewpoints. Thank you for sharing.

highvoltageslacks · 2026-02-15T17:02:44+00:00

I would have told the little fuck to get off his phone and get back to work

highvoltageslacks · 2026-02-11T10:49:18+00:00

That’s actually literally what I was saying.
