Actual quote from my boss.
I’m a superintendent for an electrical contractor, messed up on my paperwork a little bit and failed to turn in a work order for a small, recently completed project.
Then I proceeded to get bitched at about it, then wrapped up with this stupid comment. Then he had the balls to ask what my problem was when I didn’t have much to say following that remark.
I believe he just unknowingly pushed me into the IBEW. I very nearly went union this past fall, but a substantial raise kept me around.
I’m kind of over the lack of manpower, the general cluelessness from the office personnel, and stupid ass comments like “if we don’t get paid, you don’t get paid.”
