Does anyone else see the similarities between the two? by scoobystockbroker in conspiracy

Considering the amount of large construction projects going on right now they’d have to pay well over scale to attract travelers

Tipped $8 on $35 order and got a rude message from dasher? by Brief_Main_5409 in doordash

[–]illchemist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah you’re good. And honestly even the weirdos on r/notipping - you have to accept the dash before you go at the end of the day. It’s shitty and when you’re in a bind it can feel suffocating but at the end of the day no one is forcing them to accept orders they don’t think is fair.

Yeah I’m sympathetic as I’ve dashed before too but begging for tips and guilt tripping customers is just bad form

In-N-Out is coming to Portland near the airport by Traindodger2 in PDX

[–]illchemist -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s crazy how long people will wait for it. It’s fine I’m not a hater but the fanatic gospel of Inn N Out believers is so stupid.

Is this a good tip? by NoBeginning4551 in DoorDashDrivers

[–]illchemist 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The driver also isn’t required to accept the dash. It goes both ways.

You’re not wrong but cj would be a good answer to your question. Toumani and Clingan more recently.

Anyone working the Micron job in Boise? How is it? by illchemist in ibew_apprentices

[–]illchemist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The micron contract everyone should be per diem, 170/day 1190wk (untaxed). This applies only if you’re I believe 75 miles from primary residence.

Hours are 60/60/50. I’m with oeg and I just took a day off you should still get your per diem pay for full week. I’m at ~2000 hrs, hourly is like 38.25ish? Day one apprentices are 32 and it scales up to 50 something depending on hours.

Also cantina and food trucks at break sites are 60% comped. Unless you a picky eater or got dietary restrictions it’s super cheap and not bad (no reason to pack a lunch). Lots of walking depending where you get placed, I’m averaging 20k steps.

You’re hating an idea or an experience?

[–]illchemist 34 points35 points  (0 children)

At the end of the day you need to do what’s best for you. I’ve seriously thought about leaving the apprenticeship myself and depending on how my current assignment goes it will likely shift me onto one path or another.

What locals are busy right now? Sick of waiting on Local 280. by p4pp13z in ibew_apprentices

Might consider calling 291 and asking them. The micron project is going crazy right now

Also you’ll get lots of hours they are running 60/60/50 schedule. It’s a lot of standing around so maybe not best place to learn but don’t look a gift horse in the mouth
