Walked off job site today. Might get fired

It's 37 degrees out, weather channel says it feels like 27. Been misting all morning. Had on 2 layers of socks.. gloves.. but my hands and feet hurt like a motherfukker since the mist was getting me wet.

Tried to stick through it and not be a pussy but after 2 hrs I called it quits and headed home. The other 2 guys were cold as fukk too and complaining but they needed the money. Yesterday it was colder but I stayed and was fine because there was no precipitation.

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.

37 degrees F is like 2 degrees C.

Edit: Try working outside in -37 C weather; like people here in Canada.

That's supposed to be cold? 37? Or even 27? I did a site visit yesterday and it was around -10 with the windchill. Get some decent gloves and boots.
And how can man die better, than facing fearful odds, for the ashes of his fathers, and the temples of his gods?

This. I worked in construction for a few years... if the weather was bad enough the boss just said come back tomorrow, because it takes 2-3x as long to do anything therefore he's paying his 2-3x the income he normally would for us to get something done

I don't think it would be appropriate. Especially because it was misting out and we never work when it's raining - that's what the problem was.. can't keep warm with precipitation on my clothes. And I've been the best worker (not talkin skill) - these other guys tell the boss "don't talk to me like I'm a little bytch, that's why people quit on you" and stuff like that. I've never had any problems or said shyt like that. Plus these other guys are in and out of jail and shyt and work there because they HAVE to. I work there because I want to.

A. You're a giant pussy, it's -26 here and people still work

B. If you know you're going to be working outside check the weather report and dress accordingly.

Hope you get fired

I did dress accordingly.... I was fine yesterday wearing the same shyt and it was colder. When your gloves and shoes are getting wet and staying wet in the cold, there's nothing you can do.

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.

When it's misting or raining? I've worked in snow but I guess the misting did it to me. And I haven't lived my life committing crimes and going to jail and don't NEED this job not to violate probation or because it's my only way of making money - which is A LOT of people in construction.

If you're gonna be out in damp cold conditions get yourself some winter work boots and leather gloves

compared to the other guys wearing torn up shoes where u can see their socks and holes in their gloves - yeah. One guy didn't even have on gloves. "My hands are numb so it doesn't matter"
