How the fuck do I get away from this trash shit poison and abuse yourself, beat up on self preservation in others and wear it as a badge culture working in the trades?Dudes that need to hit the bowl every 20 minutes and leaving the truck floor covered in blunt raps, constant grumps needs his nic hits rapidfire everywhere cigs pouches vapes etc, dudes not wearing a mask or hearing protection when they bust concrete and the air is just an ocean of sound and silicosis.Having a sore back and stiff joints is one thing that's somewhat unavoidable but I stretch for 2 minutes in the morning and get nasty looks.I drink water throughout the day and take a 5 minute lunch and someone needs to get their vaping wigger gague earings panties in a jiff like I've failed the crew on an entire days worth of constant work.I carry a 70lb generator on site myself just fine and it's somehow too heavy to carry by yourself blah blah don't do that if I catch you again.Every job I've had is like this. And when you try to play their game like GOD FORBID I swig my flask to humor them and it's some major travesty and now I'm breaking the rules somehow.Shows you one way yesterday and then blows up at you calling you an idiot when you go and do the same thing they showed you.Forgets what know and what they taught you and assumes you know nothing about something you've done several dozen times with and without anyone's co-presenceThinks you ain't shit because you aren't a single dad with 2 babymamas.Is everyone in the trades a fucking egomaniac mongrel dickhead with the emotional maturity of a fucking 13 yearold juvie inmate?What do you do about this other than shoulder your inevitable resentment and keep pressing on?
>>2974778Crochet or patchwork sounds more up your alley.
Shipper straight up gave me a wrong address for the shipping label and i caught it. I assume he was high.
>>2974778It's all about culture.Surgeons will correct each other for craning their necks or backs too much while operating. Partly because they know how bad it is for the body, but also because spinal stenosis will shorten a surgeon's career and make him miss out on millions.Trades get injured at work young and then just go out on workers comp at 45 keeping their full salary and benefits and not having to work.
Join a union.
kill them all?
>>2974778Pussy
>>2974778Join the Air or Space Force. Construction is worth knowing but draws morons. Lifting heavy shit WILL destroy you. Federal retirement is worth killing for.Ignore the Army and Navy completely. Get that Federal retirement which is by far the most important aspect of any career. Retirement is everything, your working life is short, and the benefits are sweet which is why i fully retired in my forties.
>>2974778>Is everyone in the trades a fucking egomaniac mongrel dickhead with the emotional maturity of a fucking 13 yearold juvie inmate?a lot of them are like this, yes. it also sounds like they don't like you, because you aren't an alcoholic dipshit with several bastard children or whatever. i went to college so i dont have to deal with shit like this.
>>2974778>Is everyone in the trades a fucking egomaniac mongrel dickhead with the emotional maturity of a fucking 13 yearold juvie inmate?Yes.I was an infantryman for a decade, deployed a lot, got tired of it, got out and worked the oil patch for awhile, worked my way up to motorhand and bought house/car and set my kid up for a good future, got tired of it (and fucking my back up even more) and went to school for mechanical engineering. Worked on and off doing odd jobs between internships but I had my GI bill so it was more a habit to stay working than a need.The entire fucking way before college, ESPECIALLY in the patch, I was surrounded by the dumbest, most retarded insecure larping cowboy bullshit faggots humanly imaginable. I would watch meth addicts run the drill floor and talk like they were hot shit, meanwhile they couldn't keep up with their cost of living if they lost their job (and guess what, sometimes they did!). Nasty trailer trash subhumans convinced working in any other field was sissy shit, meanwhile any fucking oil or gas company hires any retard with a pulse as long as they can physically stand on a drill floor and trip pipe without having a heart attack.College was a complete 180, none of the memes about college were true and I was surrounded by regular human beings who generally just wanted a meaningful career with minimal nonsense. My biggest regret in life is not going straight out of the military because I was a dumbass who believed college was a scam. Even if I didn't have my GI bill I wouldn't have jack shit to pay in student loans compared to what I take home, especially when you factor in Pell grants which basically every college student qualifies for (unless you have wealthy parents, in which case, better hope they pay for you bud).Go to school for something useful anon. Anything else is retarded and wasting your life.
>>2976825Enlisted retirement is currently hot garbage, if you do your 20 make sure you at least fuck off to the civilian Federal side or commission. An E-9 at 20 (and most people aren't making E-9) makes 8,105.10 in base pay monthly right now, in retirement they only get 40% of that (3242.04) + whatever the VA gives them if their shit is fucked up. Most people retire as an E-7 IIRC which works out to 2498.28. An O-3E (nearly automatic if you commission after being enlisted for a contract in ANY branch) makes more than an E-9 and that's assuming you act like a turd and coast to your 20.Branch matters significantly less than MOS/Rate/AFSC/Whatever the Space Force calls it now, a security forces goober in the Air Force has it way shittier than a dental hygienist in the Marine Corp; but if all things are the same, then that dental hygienist will have a bit better of a time in the Air Force/Space Force (maybe not Navy, being underway sucks ass)
