The point was not so much that people can throw axes anywhere, as a business charging $50 per person per 2 hours to do something I have never been aware of any demand for --> I predict a limited future.

However I'm sure the NRA agrees with you.

Automatic weapons ---> the founding fathers wanted us to be able to use them anywhere at any time.

Axes ---> that shit is dangerous.

I swear the one guy I work with ---> I would like to shoot him in the face.

Everybody else in my immediate contact is very good. They do a good job and I like them. And then we got this guy. He like a shiftless teen. He just sucks. He just straight sucks.

I'd like to shoot him in the face.

Which finally brings us to the central question of this thread. It only took 1100 posts.


What is your philosophy on work?

How do you work at work?

Do you like to work hard?

Would you rather do as much as you can or as little as you can?




Me, I like to work hard. I just want to. Not to kiss anybody's ass or impress anybody (although I definitely bring up my constant hard work during performance reviews), but for me it just feels better.

For one thing, it makes the day go faster. So that's a thing.

But also it's just a matter of identity for me. I want to go through life as a person who is useful and competent. Stuff that my name is connected to ---> I want that to be kickass stuff.

That's who I want to be in the world.

But I have certainly worked at places where there is proud laziness. The closer you get to a union, the more of that you see. Working hard is seen as being a "company man" which is all negative connotation. The company is bad and needs to be taught a lesson. There is no perceived connection between company success and personal reward.

Idiot


Don't lump all unions together.

In the construction side...you make over a dollar a minute counting Bennies.

Jobs are bid tight. If you don't preform you are gone. I often hold a piss and I am the boss. Maybe things are different in the sore thumb cubicle workers of America Union.
 
Dead serious. New schemes/mobs get exposed all the time. Your previous mayor was knee-deep in that shit. Montreal's previous mayor claimed he didn't know that the whole city's infrastructure was controlled by organized crime.

You and I live in some of the least corrupt areas of the world yet this shit is rampant.

I am well aware of kickbacks and corruption in Illinois politics involving construction.

I have already conceded to some unfair bidding. The amount is spit in the bucket.

And these are white collar crimes.

None of this has to do with Joe Blow who gets up at 4:30 to go to work.

They don't tell joe blow to work slower because they got the job through less then lawful practices so I don't see how your post correlates with the conversation me and my muddy buddy are having.
 
You say significant...I say spit in the bucket. I am more familiar with the bidding process then you. Most of the bidding open not sealed. The first time you are reading those terms is right now.
House win.
Matty lose.

Now quit responding. I am fixing shit around the house today and you are slowing me down.

Again

I win

You lose.

I grew up working class you clown. Most of the wife's family also works construction. My uncle made a fortune providing aluminum to public projects (look up Kaycan). My half-brother's godmother married into the MTL/NYC mob (then divorced while in jail).

I grew up next to trash like you.

As Casper would say, go suk a cok. :jerk:
 
I don't know enough about the skilled-labor unions, but I never understood why grocery stores unionized. Wal-Mart eats those stores up. A 18-YO bragger doesn't need representation.

My philosophy on work - being in sales, it's to dominate. One of the best things that happened for me was my competition unionizing, what a bunch of lazy foks. I Agree with house that skilled-labor unions will weed out the bad ones pretty fast.
