currently at work they are installing a bunch of 80inch TV's in officerooms (yes data entry officecel - 40k daily routine kill me nowcel). We start at 7am. the tradies typically roll up in their 80k trucks or 5k beaters around 8am... dont even park in proper spots just anywhere close by on the property. take about 30mins to unload their tools. talk about the gameplan for another 20-30mins. work for about an hour than its coffee break at 10am. chill in their vechicles until 1020am and come back out then talk some more for 10-20mins before they start working again. hour later they go for break at about 11:45am... come back at a 1230pm. work for another hour and at 1:30pm go for thier last break. come back round 1:50pm and work for 40 mins until 2:30pm than start packing up their tools. everything is packed and they are all on their phones until about 3pm then they drive off.

LMAO!!!

dudes literally work for 2-3 hours max and make bout 35$/hr and spend the rest of the time talking about bull**** and on break.

I think I’m a tradie and I made 1200 net today srs

Now drinking a white claw

you are a delivery driver

basically lowest of the low blue collar style
maybe 1 or 2 up from factory worker or cleanercel

You mirin tradies doin whatever they want?

being a delivery driver isn't a trade... at least you and Opie have something in common... grandeurs of delusion

I'm on break and bored

Negged

Its hilarious. These older guys chill the **** out they the best to roll with. One boomer i worked w he would always go there first to just check the chit out befoee bringing tools. Would grab some breakfast on the way, smoke a cig.
Then bring some tools but forget something on purpose. Then we had to get it back, now we sit for coffee. Oh look its lunch break.
Then we would work on it the rest of the day lmao. He got paid the most but worked the least. Fat mother****er😂

Wtf u phegs been calling me a tradie this whole time I started believing it srs

Yeah small TIs and service jobs are like that but not new construction lol

Depends on your company or foreman though really

lol at tradies

they are all the same

same **** happened here. prety much every other day the "journeymen" forgot a specific tool and would leave for two hours then be back with it. there 60/hr dudes who were pretty much tool delivery drivers and just looked over everything making sure its proper and if not just blame the installers LOL!

I am officecel who just sits in a cubicle browsing the internet 6 hrs a day and do 1 hr of work a day

Opie, you're laughing at tradies that make more money, fuk around all day, and do what they want and have little accountability? Meanwhile your Timothy boss is probably going to send over an angry email that you're taking too many bathroom breaks LMAO.

Lmao ups brah friend of mine has a college degree. He went w ups driver and cleared well over 100k. Winters suck but he gets 4 weeks vacation so he takes 2 weeks off in summer and takes his wife and kids out 4-wheeling and rents a huge cottage in Montana

BRB nice boat, 3 car garage and his kids are going to college in w few what’s on his dime when he retires w full pension.

You sound like a hater

I worked in an office once in my life and the level of egg shell walking people do just to get through the day is so fuking uncomfortable I couldn’t. Imagine doing it for 40 years

so yer friend gets 1 month off a year?

sounds like cope

sounds to me like tradies are mogging the cubicle monkey op.
and he mad.

Lol at low income office slaves just lol

Depends on the project too, massive projects and sprawling work areas make it easier to play games. I've heard of scaffolders napping at the top of builds or in certain hoardings, at the Site C dam project in BC there are tales of a dude who just showed up at site and walked around with a 2x4 on his shoulder for 18 months getting paid.

This is referred to as "time on tools" in my function where we measure and track productivity etc
