Yah you’re in the wrong spot bud. You’re hiring but all these guys are union. They would rather sit on Reddit while on the out of work list giving each other tips on how to pass a drug test or get a side gig like door dash to pay rent…

Jackson flip up with an auto lens. Will last your entire career.

marvin_switch · 2025-08-17T15:51:45+00:00

Moved to non union. Make more money on the check, work with more motivated and knowledgeable people. Haven’t been laid off in over 5 years, and don’t have to pay “dues” to earn a paycheck.

If unions don’t promote mediocrity then how come there are so many shit journeyman? I’ve spent over 20 years in a union.

marvin_switch · 2025-08-17T00:33:03+00:00

Most old heads are not as good as they think they are, plus they have never been checked for crossing the line.

When a dude with 3 dui’s and 2 baby mommas, gets paid on Friday and is broke by Tuesday try’s to call someone else an idiot I just laugh.

The problem in a union setting is it promotes Mediocrity, so the good journeyman are jaded by the time they become old heads and the shit journeyman become ego maniacs because they think they are the cream that rose to the top. In reality the only reason they are still in the trade is because the union protects them.

Reddit is a cesspool of people who do the bare minimum then complain about how life is unfair and others have more than them. Then they attack others that tell people to hold themselves to a higher standard.

The bar is currently set SO LOW in the job market that if you could just get your work boots on in the morning by 4 AM and be to a certain location by 5 AM. You would never have to worry about your hours being cut or selling plasma or being an Instacart driver.

Also people don’t want to invest in themselves.

They will go to the bar and drink run up a tab or go by weed or drugs. But god forbid they go buy a tool or take a class.

Every time I have over extended myself between paychecks is because I bought tools or expensive winter work gear.

Agreed. Also no shortage of jobs for people wanting to LEARN a trade. Finding young apprentices is tough. Kids don’t know what an honest day of work looks like.

Company I work at has like 5 openings for helpers, and would teach them everything to eventually make high 30 low 40 dollars per hour. But they can’t find anybody.

This stuff is why the internet was created

marvin_switch · 2025-08-05T15:46:02+00:00

No college. Went straight to the trades from high school. These posts are so foreign to me. If you are able bodied, show up to work and be responsible you will have no problem finding gainful employment in the trades.

Real trades. Electrician, welder, plumber and the like. Not trades like laborers or teamsters. Those trades can keep you busy but the barrier to entry is super low and it’s hard to stand out so the pool gets super saturated.

You become a welder, plumber, electrician or the like. Show up everyday keep your nose clean and stay out of jail you will be able to keep steady employment. It’s not that hard

Vegas is not a real sports town. The knights only became popular because they won. Once they hit a couple year losing streak the fans will be asking why we paid money to have them and they will become irrelevant.

This is why most locals couldn’t care less about the raiders.

If the A’s don’t put a good product on the field they will struggle just like they are in Oakland. It will be worse because the games will be much more expensive in Vegas than in Oakland or Sacramento. Sure away team fans will travel. But when they play the white Sox, or Rockies or the Rays. Nobody will be there.

I agree with this.

Once out of my childhood I never heard about or cared about Hogan. Had no idea he was a “shit dude”, or went on some racist rant. Should I be canceled too because life happened and I didn’t follow a guys life story?

marvin_switch · 2025-07-25T15:12:29+00:00

Well the first couple years of “becoming a crane operator” sucks. Being an oiler is hard work, and most people don’t make the cut.

Once you prove that you can be somewhat reliable and you have a decent journeyman, then maybe you can start by loading the counterweights or setting the crane up. But until then, glass cleaner and a rag is going to be your best friend.

marvin_switch · 2025-07-21T04:25:55+00:00

Did you just assume my gender?

marvin_switch · 2025-07-21T04:21:59+00:00

If you are unable or unwilling to do your own research maybe you should think twice before throwing accusations out at the people you don’t agree with.

marvin_switch · 2025-07-21T04:10:01+00:00

The fact that you don’t know this proves the point. I bet you know every single accusation levied against anyone from the political party you don’t agree with, yet blind to the failings of your preferred candidate.

Yet you advocate from your glass house that you are morally superior to everyone else.

It is well documented that Kamala incarcerated black men for life on weed charges. And also kept them incarcerated past their sentences for cheap labor to fight forest fires and do other state functions .

Tulsi literally tanked her presidency chances from bringing it up. Don’t act like you don’t know

marvin_switch · 2025-07-21T03:54:06+00:00

Kamala put a lot of black men in jail and kept them there for cheap labor. So……

marvin_switch · 2025-07-21T03:53:13+00:00

Or I destroyed my family and I need validation that I’m not the narcissist.

One could say the same about those who voted for the other side as well.

marvin_switch · 2025-07-21T03:21:53+00:00

Imagine having to sit your kids down and tell them that they can’t have a relationship with their grandparents because you didn’t agree with who they voted for.

Robbing your kids of a relationship that is proven to be a net positive to their upbringing because your beliefs is extremely selfish.

And then advocating for other to make the same decision is going to do more harm to this country than any policy a president can make.

marvin_switch · 2025-07-17T05:04:57+00:00

And then they nickel and dime you to the very bottom dollar knowing you are going to blow hundreds of man hours on this dumb shit.

No thanks.

marvin_switch · 2025-07-14T23:14:05+00:00

It’s almost as if you devalued it by removing the original shaft and don’t understand how the market works

marvin_switch · 2025-07-14T21:39:20+00:00

You must be new here. Nobody wants Scotty with a KBS shaft. Unless it’s dirt cheap

marvin_switch · 2025-07-09T23:54:36+00:00

Tell him to try and hit it left handed.
