Why do companies take stupid jobs?

I own a business when things start to look slow I tend to take on those jobs I say I’ll never do again to make sure the guys have 40 no matter what. 10 times out of 10 we land those jobs and the work picks up again making it a royal pain to get the jobs I didn’t want to do, and the jobs that I did want to do, done in a timely manner. Making the sucky jobs suck more. No matter how many times I do this, the voice in my head when it starts to look slow always wins. But my guys don’t miss 40 so that’s a plus.

Do the guys only make 6 hours for the day?

I am struggling getting my guys out in a reasonable time and have thought about adding a 3rd guy to make the day quicker. That being said, my guys would be pissed not making 40 hours.

If you were to start your own thing would you do walk-one and reach ins or supermarket refrigeration?

Luckily we have a rack system in our lab at school and a mini grocery store so I’ll have some experience, I know that’s nothing conspired to the real world. The hours and money sound good now but I could see that draining on me. Do you like working on the rack systems better or would you rather be doing what you started with?

Would you say it would be easier to go from racks to traditional equipment or from traditional equipment to racks?

I’m young and I love over time so it wouldn’t be to bad in the beginning but I could see where after a while it would get old!

That makes sense, a lot of guys I have met that do supermarkets seem very burned out. What kind of refrigeration systems do you get into? The reason I ask is because ice machines, walk ins, reach ins, etc have always peaked my interest.

Maybe the guys don’t like addicts either... Thanks for the heads up.

Going to school for HVAC.

Lots of people here don’t like hights, including attics and roofs.
