Dude, you are absolutely pathetic. You will get nowhere in life. I'm going to assume that you're in your 20's and it's beyond pathetic that you still haven't learned about commitment, decency and responsibility. Leaving just like that is something a spoiled child would have done.

Must be a dumb ass company or boss who talked to you and actually decided to hire you lmfao.

2 degrees Celsius is t-shirt weather if you are working hard enough, OP must be slacking.

It was roasting in my office today, windows open and fan on full power.

Wind occasionally knocking over the ladders, making it hard to pick up a piece of siding etc.. And -26 degrees? Yeah I'd never do that. But I'd like to think if you are born/raised in a really cold place then you become accustomed to it making you able to work in colder temps.

leaving a job because you're cold/wet is pretty poor form OP

I've been on various jobs where I've been both, and I'd never, ever consider leaving the job.

There is always people who have it worse. If they can do it, why cant I? That's my mentality.

the boss is bad leader if he can't encourage you guys to work in the cold. If I was the boss and it was important work I would be out there with you brahs to encourage you to stay, getting some hot chocolate or coffee for you brahs.
I just want to share the knowledge I have obtained throughout my life and hopefully change someone's life.

I mean I left but I didn't walk off without saying a word or anything. I told my crew and they said it is cold as fuk and they wouldn't judge me for leaving and that they could do it - they need the money. I apologized to them. Then I texted my boss because he doesn't like to be called and interrupted during work and sounded like he was having a bad day since a different crew quit on him. Haven't heard anything back. I just texted him an apology and told him I had to leave.

Man I wish I had it as warm as your. Currently working in northern North Dakota, currently -7 F feels like -21 this whole week has been -20 to -35 F with wind chill. Tomorrow is a high of -15 before wind chill factor is added. Equipment wont start, the porta potties are froze even with heaters in them, And we are all working.

I work in absolute fuking zero on a good day.
Science hasn't even found the word to describe the physical impossibility of the cold we get sometimes. All kinds of irregular crap happens because of how cold it is here. Worm holes, black holes, stretched holes we get it all.

Well they risk becoming sick, frost bite, etc. I can do the job they can - that's enough for me. Doing it in conditions like that is where I draw the line on the "if they can do it, why can't I?" mentality. People commit suicide. If they can do it, why can't I?!.. lol..

I actually thought about this. I don't fault my boss but I'd do it differently if I were in his shoes. He's been nothing but good to me though. Never cussed at me or talked down to me. Seems very understanding.

I'm a guy who will be perfectly fine not getting paid if I do a shyt job. I don't have my head up my ass and act all-knowing. Why would anyone wanna lose someone like me? Compared to guys who will stay out in the cold while it's misting but are felons and threaten leaving work once every couple of weeks and talk about being in jail. If I'm fired I'm fired but I love this job and my boss is a good guy. Yeah I've got other options that would probably even pay better but I don't need it right now so I'm doing what I really like to do

I'd like to see a construction company with people with clean backgrounds who do the work because they enjoy it. I've only met like 3 people that fit that bill. I'm one of them

I told my boss and now I'm waiting for him to text me back.. A whole crew just quit on him where he was working today because he cussed them out. Not looking good.

difference being that, unless we're rich, we all have to go out and earn a wage.

and how sick realistically are you going to get? a cold? still not a valid reason for time off IMO

and frost bite at 2 degrees? lmao
