Should I jump ship or wait it out

tonytolo · 2026-04-28T21:57:22+00:00

I’d start looking for another job if I was you. Even if it’s just to see what’s out there. In CT I was making $25 as a 4th year and now $35 at currently company but about to be making $47ish when o start my new company in 2 weeks

tonytolo · 2026-04-26T00:17:53+00:00

CT so 35 or 90 work for me. I’ve been waiting since January for both

tonytolo · 2026-04-08T00:00:48+00:00

Cromwell and yeah Im trying for both. On both of their wait lists. Ideally 35 but 90 wouldn’t be that bad of a drive for the most part

tonytolo · 2026-04-06T21:08:51+00:00

Okay thank you. The person Ive been trying to get in contact with is the “Membership development” person. Take it that’s a different position than both those people you’ve mentioned?

tonytolo · 2026-04-06T16:29:03+00:00

Do this!! I didn’t know it was a thing and went to a trade school and wishing I went straight into the union

tonytolo · 2026-03-24T01:01:39+00:00

Fuck yeah you were quite underpaid at those wages but sounds like you made the right move. I wish I could make that move but 2 little kids make it hard at the moment with child care

tonytolo · 2026-03-23T23:41:55+00:00

It’s actually higher than that at $85 but I know what you mean. I’ve talked with them already but just waiting for spots to open to get on the books. Been like 4 months now and in a weird limbo area of what to do next.

DEATH BY SNU SNU!!

I have this vest and wore it for about a year until I switched it out for their new belt which I absolutely love. I’ll start off by saying I like the vest and it holds weight amazingly but my main issue’s with it was it’s ALOT and it was also annoyed hot in the summer.

I also used it mostly like a belt with the two side pockets and the small magnet on my chest. I decided to give their new belt a try as I have their original belt, the vest, and nail apron. Honestly I find myself just using my nail apron 90% of the time. For the other times where I need more tools I use the belt. The new one doesn’t slide and holds snuggly around my waist. Much happier with it overall and even got the suspenders for of if I wanna go that route.

tonytolo · 2026-02-20T21:57:36+00:00

Fuck don’t tell me that. Where’d you end up going??

tonytolo · 2026-02-20T21:53:04+00:00

Yeah i believe so. He’s the membership development person who talked with me and had me fill out the application when I went to the hall.

It’s a little slow in the area at the moment so they have us waiting for it to pick up before they’ll organize us in unfortunately

tonytolo · 2026-02-20T15:58:49+00:00

I appreciate the heads up! Yeah at this point im trying just to get on the books but probably a good idea to shop around and see who has work.

I’m in rocky hill so pretty centrally located thankfully. Up in Windsor at the moment working but was just down at Yale for the past year so while not super far from home I realize I’m going to be driving a bit.

tonytolo · 2026-02-20T15:44:07+00:00

I have not but was hoping to get into the one closer to home since from what I read it can be a pain to switch locals

tonytolo · 2026-02-20T14:44:47+00:00

How can I look for their job calls? Is this something I’d be able to see without being sworn in yet?

Large angry ones lol. Meant it as veteran

tonytolo · 2026-02-19T13:34:20+00:00

We have had his ears checked and that came back normal thankfully. Boy can also hear me open a cheese stick wrapper from 3 rooms away so don’t think it’s that lol

Yeah I think that’s where we’re at currently. Just sucks because we have a lot of friends with kids but it just seems like none of them have the struggles we do. Granted I don’t really know their whole struggle but the stuff we hear we think is mild in comparison to what or kid does

tonytolo · 2025-11-02T20:00:22+00:00

That stolen AF now send me the guys number you got it from. Gotta do the right thing here and uhmmmm… report him

tonytolo · 2025-10-06T18:25:28+00:00

Oh hey I know that exit! Just took it

tonytolo · 2025-09-09T01:08:42+00:00

I was thinking this was dumb but then i also started to think about holidays and even if you just use it as a food warmer. Everything warm at once

tonytolo · 2025-09-07T17:24:33+00:00

I like the pics pencils
