When I started in construction 20 years ago minimum wage was $10, but most trades start at $18.
After 4 years I was 33.50 an hour and still had room to move up. My direct supervisor was making $50, but he had a cash bonus to pay for his truck, instead of them giving him one.

That’s just how it works though?
Not every tradesman is going to working panels, some just wire plugs instead, people specialize and are payed differently depending on the tasks. Very rarely do you find someone who does the entire trade regulary. They’re not going to be as good or fast as the ones that specialize, so it’s a delicate balance.

Where aren you that a trade doesn’t require 4 years of schooling and on the job training?

In other places, a deductible is what you pay to get insurance coverage for an event. So yes, it is essentially that to the rest of the world.

Essentially a deductible.

And you can too? Why haven’t you? Oh because you think you’re right.

Uhh… I covered that, I said it wasn’t remotely funny, and said it wasn’t a joke, Now you’re trying to use that defence? Lol, lmfao even.
Seems most people agree with me, take the L and move on. You fucked up and are now attempting to save face. You can try, but it’s not gonna work.

You’re the one that corrected someone and falsely assumed what they should have said.
Look in the mirror, I was politely pointing out you were being an ass, but clearly you are just an ass.
- Comment on Hannibal was right 🔥 5 weeks ago:
Than why try and correct them and assume what they probably meant? You actions don’t match your words dude. You got caught being an ass, and are now doing the usual “no I wasn’t”. It’s plain to see for anyone.
Give it up.

Awwwhh someone’s lame joke failed and now they’re doing… whatever you call this.
If I’m the one that’s “triggered” what do you call what you’re doing here? Lmfao.

Hey, I’m gonna printed to be smart and be an absolute idiot, that’s funny.
Editors note, no it’s not.

Do we need to specify a new made up sentence means it’s the first time it’s said for certain “pedants”? You’re not being pedantic, just an idiot.

A piece of metal heats up in both.
One melts, the other activates an electromagnet disconnecting the line, like the melted metal.
Material wise, they both have the same parts, one just has more.

Gotta suspend some reality though. I get walking simulators are a thing, but to do a quest you would need to travel a couple full days by horse? And filling in that content too.

That’s… one designed around being able to travel in a car…

You kinda still need to protect them from the elements, they’re supposed to be covered to prevent water and dust egress.

ends up with exactly this kind of “six guys staring at a hole in the ground while one guy works” dynamic - because corporate only delegated one shovel for six people, to save money.
Nope.
Each one has their role, and can’t start till the one before is done. But it’s too difficult to coordinate and people don’t like sitting around at home not being paid. So they just pay everyone to stand around.
It’s why union jobs cost 10x as much as private, and do the exact same job.
- Comment on The bosses are never going to just hand workers a 32 hour workweek. 2 months ago:
Right, but they handle the full shift of their duties in that time, and get their REST after. They get no breaks.
Thank you, that’s a union job, makes my point quite well, other tradesman would be canned for doing that. They can go a full shift without breaks.

I think it’s unreasonable to call it “wasted”. Like telling a pro-athlete “if you’re not running the ball continuously for every minute of the game you’re wasting your potential”.
Marathon runners take no breaks. If you’re requireing constant breaks due to mental fatigue, like any other muscle training and work it.
How do you think tradesman handle working 8 hour shifts with only a 30 minute break? They’re constantly on their feet, being physical, they are also doing calculations, looking around at their surroundings in case something is wrong or going to happen.
So yes, it is in fact wasted.

It’s not a joke, there’s be studies done that prove it. Its closer to 50/50 iirc though.

I’ve seen unions in plants reinstate workers and remove machines because it reduced labor.

Your friend can be driving the vehicle, they know the vehicle sped, but not who was actually driving. So demerits aren’t issued.
