  • I was able to file a grievance against a person everyone hates. It’s a slam dunk grievance, I even have evidence from their Instagram.

    Everyone that I’ve told about it has been over the moon that someone gets to put them in their place finally.

    Monday morning we have our big meeting regarding it, and I’m going to straight up fuck their ass up. I hope they quit. Seriously, they are such assholes to everyone. No one has a nice thing to say about them.






  • My last job was my favorite job I’ve ever had. Great boss, good pay, paid winters off, leading crews, lots of people I liked. But the hours sucked the rest of the year, and it was fucking hard work.

    My new job is union, pay isn’t as good, but the benefits (health/retirement) are fantastic. Also, it’s a 37.5 hour work week. I don’t have paid winters off, but I have plenty of PTO, sick, and I can accrue comp time. No more overnights, and the work is a lot less physical.

    If I were you, I’d take whatever job offer you get and try and leverage it for a raise and ask for the opportunity to move up. With all the training you said you’ve been doing, it’s obvious they know you know what you are doing. They may want to keep you around.


  • Ages ago, when I was in the army, my best friend couldn’t get promoted because his arms wouldn’t straighten. It was a super dumb issue which prevented him to properly do a push up, and because of that he could t pass the PT test.

    Finally months and months of doctors and paperwork, he receives a waiver and is getting promoted.

    Our commander is giving a little speech about follow through and perseverance or something, and he says, “and because of his funny arms”

    I immediately blurted out, “Yeah, they’re really humourous.”

    In a crowd of 40 people, I think one person got it. I still think it was my best joke I ever cracked at a moments notice.
