I wouldn’t give up being a tradie for anything

BRB don’t even have to workout to keep in shape

BRB we all get regular poon from officels wife’s while the husbands work away from home.

BRB earn what I like on the side

BRB actually have work friends rather than being stuck in my 6x6 cubicle not allowed to talk

BRB protein shakes rather than soy lattes

BRB talk about more than what we saw on Netflix last night

BRB lmao at officels
brb haven’t met one vaxcel who doesn’t get defensive or mad when you tell them you didn’t get it.

No “vax” for HIV after 40 years of research. No vax for cancer after 100 years of research. No vax for the common cold and yet a virus mysteriously appears and Within 12 months a “vax” is found by 4 pharma companies all within 1 week and we are mandated to take it ….

Serious question, what the **** is a tradie?
Non-American here
What do you trade?
I keep hearing this tradie word and keep seeing that Tom Cruize miner hat gif, but I seriously don't know
I know everybody is a ******* here
I know most are gymcels, even if they don't even lift
I understand most of the MISC has clearly huge problems

But what the **** is a tradie?
I like to learn from the mistakes of the people who take my advice.

It's Australian slang for a tradesman.

Here is a video of a typical tradie morning commute

I earned 200K by the time most of my peers had got their BSc’s

So you do one of the worst trades and then decide they are all like that?

So, I'm on officecell. Been out of work 5 weeks due to medical. Will be paid 100% of my pay while off due to accruing tons of PTO.

Do tradies get PTO? What do you guys do when you're off work for a long time?

Well it is like any other profession really, if you work for a company you will have PTO. Unions are also there to protect tradies. If you are self employed though it's a whole different ball game.

Ah. For some reason I thought tradies didn't get paid if they didn't show up for work.

Thanks for clearing it up.

I walked past a group of tradies the other day who were all hanging around a bench (obviously not working) and one burst out laughing in a way that I have never, ever done in 15 years of office plebing.

I rent out furnished houses by the week to "tradies" working at a refinery. Boilermakers, welders, pipefitter, electricians, etc. They make good money, about $2000 a week. The majority of them are irresponsible with their money. They get their paycheck on Friday and blow it over the weekend. They get their per diem on Monday, and that lasts them until Friday. (I collect rent on Mondays).

I thought it was about stock trading or stuff like that, since it implied a lot of money.

srs question, do tradies have to deal with stress much? Like in my job, the absolute worst part is when the projects pile up or my underlings phuk something up and I have multiple deadlines to meet at once and I feel like there's no way I'll get it all done. Stomach starts churning and sometimes I can't sleep.

Do tradies have these issues?

The smart "tradies" have a camper that they tow behind their truck. It's their home. They can basically work anywhere in North America and not pay much for accomodations/housing. When they give up the trade, they can sell the camper.

In my experience with renting houses to tradies, the more money they make the more stress they have. Or at least the more money they make, the more they tell me about their problems.
