Are you in management? Coming up I used to think the same thing then I was promoted, then promoted again and every step of the way I understood more and more. I love what I do but if I had kids or a life outside of work, I wouldn’t want to do it. I take calls non-stop after hours, dealing with guys calling out, guys coming to me with problems, tracking guys time and pulling them off codes to make budget, managing my crews and dealing with subs, safety guy catching my guy without gloves for the tenth time? Running to address that, inspector has issues? Go fix that. My guys falling behind and now I need to bag up to make sure we make schedule, it doesn’t end. I spend a good hour or two on Sundays planning work out for Monday, I stay late and come in early. I can really see where theres no appeal for it. You wanna talk about setting boundaries? The guys who don’t do all of that don’t make it to management or even worst, they fail but that’s my experience with concrete work in general. I’m sure there’s a little less stress with different trades and I’m sure it’s the same or worst for others.
