That total money. Only 1.00 would have hit the paycheck.

I understand that and you got to side with the majority ..... but from I know at least in NJ the different trades have union rates that are known before you get into that field of work! Is the initial beginning rate higher for insulators than say, you guys the hangers or did their hourly wage jump over you guys somewhere along the line?

Many people from the former job said I should come back and visit. I nodded politely and maybe even said sure.
I don't see that happening. Do people really do that? Let's just move on, shall we.

People do it but it's like hi, it's great to see you. So now that we have that out of the way I have to get back to work and you can find other people to have this same conversation with until you decide to leave them you're dead to me.

People really do that.
It happened often at my old place. The most recent case: one of the VP's who was fired last October came back early this year to visit while the president (who fired him) was away. He was all emotional and shit. I openly stared at him with my best WTF face.

People who rationalize pay amounts based on "after taxes" are ignorant. Good luck with your strike, i hope they bring in the scabs.

You don't know what you're talking about. It's not an after taxes thing. It's the percentage of the gross allocation that was going on the check. And I already mentioned if it was my local I would have accepted the offer.

Furthermore non Union bids are not much lower then Union bids. More money just ends up in the non Union contractors pocket. It's an uneven share of the pie. Also injury rate is much higher on those jobs because members without representation aren't protected when told to do work in an unsafe manner. Pretty much all Union contractors and general contractors have guys in place to ensure work is being done in accordance with osha. For large scale endeavors like crane lifts and such a safety plan must be in and approved before work can even begin.

Yeah my question was rhetorical I guess. We had ex-people popping in to the previous job a bunch of times. A couple of them were people that got purged in a move that could not be interpreted in any way but, dude, you are the bottom of the barrel and we would rather have nothing than you.
But in they came. Hi guise!
Dude, have you just got nowhere in the world to be?

In the big news though, I got called in for the next steps with my pipedream-possibly-come-true job. Meeting the Distribution Manager and the Branch Manager next Tuesday!

Doing that after being fired is completely psychotic

gawd, some people wanna be nice and keep in touch and you all act like it's an atrocity. I will never understand working people. No wonder the man screws you as much as possible :sparesomecutter:

Reno is the king of contrary. If I make a post tomorrow saying I want to go visit my ex-job he'll say, "Have you got nothing better to do? Let go and move on with your life!"
