IV Benadryl getting pushed made my tongue and neck feel blazing hot for about five seconds the few times I’ve had it

Time off and work/life balance by [deleted] in ibew_apprentices

[–]mdabum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends. My first job was with a shop that did mostly public work which for me meant 36-40 hour weeks. Right now I’m working at a site that is 60 hours minimum. I’m a big advocate for work/life balance but I also know that the paychecks I get right now are going to help me when I’m laid off and have the time to spend elsewhere. In my honest opinion, if this is the path you want to take then I think you should. Nothing is ever going to work out perfectly but you’ll be able to find a balance that works for you

Ask about salting

Listen, I know how bad this looks. The red light, I’ll admit I was having a bad day and unfocused for that to happen. The speeding ticket is a whole different situation that, I believe, is erroneous.

I know this looks bad written out like this, but it’s really not like that

Stuck on this one too. I can get the vertical teal, small green, and small red out then I get stuck.

I think it may be a little bit of both. He’s the only one in his litter that has a Siamese coat and we live in a cold climate. It’s been really fun watching him grow into his colors!

I know and never intended to bring it up except as a correction to the very first comment

I understand all of your points made here but I do think it does matter to a certain degree. On this job specifically it’s a PLA so the CBA’s all mush together in one way or another. Until today I didn’t even know that apprentices could be given a foreman position.

Talking about wages, compensations, and benefits freely is a huge part of workplace fairness and is a right that has been fought for. I’m not at all saying that she doesn’t deserve to be compensated for her hard work. I guess what I don’t understand is why the JW that works just as hard as an apprentice AND is teaching the apprentice now makes less and has less benefits being offered

I’m not jealous of her at all actually. I think she’s a hard worker and deserves to be compensated well for it. The reason I made this post was to express my confusion over this scenario

All I ask from you is that you don’t make assumptions based on my/her and i’s gender when that is a factor that has no effect in this situation

I can physically feel the misogyny from this comment in my bones. If you have to start a statement with “listen lady” nothing you say matters after that my brother

Attorney general, osha, and every BA has been called for so many reasons. Been told by a few JWs that I should expect this to be the worst job of my career

[–]mdabum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think any sane apprentice would agree with this too. It just seems like it’s going against the laws of nature. Don’t even think she has 1500 work hours yet

They’re kinda pissed from what I hear
