>most tradies don’t make much desu
100%, never said otherwise. Don't reply to me again, adults are speaking kid

>>61926140
A tradie walked up to me on site while we were commissioning a machine and asked how much our guys make. I said 60-70...lots of OT. He goes "oh yeah we make that much too...70 grand ain't bad for a 28 year old" or something like that. I said, "That's per hour." I'll never forget the shame in his face.

>>61926363
What? You probably messed up your typing. Very low iq. lol.
Makes sense. Since you work blue collar.

>>61926363
Calling others “tradies” while works on a job site. lol.

>white collar
>work from home
Lol, rednecks

>>61926110

You make like $130k and you’re bragging over it. Lol.

>>61926923
I don’t even get his story

>>61926907
I make 2000 every time i go sleep.
This is why blue collar wagies so annoying. Listen to your arrogance. Youre literally blue collar.

>>61926907
So you’re the guy I was laughing at while driving past today.

>>61926027
>Always offer to work for free.
No. Wtf?

>>61926932
As far as I know, he’s a half step above being a construction worker and he’s bragging about good, but not amazing salary.

>>61926945
Did you read the rest of the post?

>>61926951
Pay me and maybe I will.

>>61926950
So the 70 per hour? Ohhh I get it.
Guy thought he meant 70k a year but he making an hour.
Ok ok. Lol. Yeah they both on the same job site. lol.

>>61926027
bump

>>61926027
NEVER do anything for free
in OP's case I would ask for a beer or soda. Never do anything for nothing, even a soda or sandwich is better then free.
Now a precedence has been set and the next your father askes he will 100% expect to be free, because
>last time I gave you guys $100? you can do this for free??
or the workers now expect $100 and might do more then required expecting money.
Fuck you and your father

>>61930798
> the next your father askes he will 100% expect to be free
No intelligent adult expects things for free. The construction boss now has a future customer and referrals. Of course he should have offered to do it for free because the workers were next door with all the tools already.

>>61930815
> or the workers now expect $100
No offense but the workers do as they are told. Their boss told them to go next door and patch 2 tiles and they had to. 50 cents worth of paste.
>sandwich or beer
How cheap or poor are you?
This isn’t some brokie neighborhood. The boss knew how to act.

>>61926907
>that blue collar laborer who quotes his top grade hourly rate including health insurance contributions etc. plus double time and a half on a weekend on a holiday over 12 hours a day on a leap year plus per diem with out of town bonus and mileage reimbursement etc. and pretends he makes that much every day of the year

>>61926923
>>61926950
The point it the dumb fucking pipefitter is trying to brag about making 70 grand a year to an engineer making more than double. And 150k isn't even a lot.

>>61930815
>The construction boss now has a future customer and referrals.
A homer owner that just got a repair is going to give him business and referrals? are you insane?
>UHH yea this company next door did something for free for me. I highly recommend them, no I dont really know much about them other then the little job they did pro bono.

>Hello construction company, can you come do job for me?
>What do you mean you only do new construction projects?
>ooh that was just a 1 time thing, no yea i get it, no I dont need a house built right now, ok thanks bye.

>>61926972
It was at TSMC. The jobsite has anything from illegal venezuelans pumping out the shitters to PhD engineers operating processing equipment...and everything in between.

>>61930874
You wouldn’t get it.
You don’t step into this neighborhood and say “sandwich or beer.”

>>61930829
your missing the point
never do any work for free. Never.

No one here as done any of this work, so i doubt any of you would understand.
Contractor residential work is for retards anyway. so not surprised they think its a good business strat to do free stuff
Back to your basement incel

>>61930893
>You don’t step into this neighborhood
your a retard
do you know what driveway guys get? Beers. the customer buys them a 6 pack, or they used.

kys keyboard warrior. go work a day in construction faggot

>>61926363
a lot of tradies make 60-70 per hour

>>61930926
meanwhile back in reality most trades workers make $50-70k/yr per the bureau of labor statistics.

>>61930926
The higher level electricians on these sites kill it. But not the apprentice walking around trying to flex his wage on someone he doesn't even work with.

>>61930910
He has spoken to my parents a few times. Its just a job for free.
> think its a good business strat to do free stuff
Its less of a job and more of a favor probably. He knows my dad wouldn’t just give him $0. This isn’t a cheap neighborhood.
> Back to your basement incel
Rent in my basement is 20k a month
> Beers. the customer buys them a 6 pack, or they used.
This isn’t that sort of neighborhood
Him asking for a metaphorical sandwich or beer makes him look small time and my dad offering beer looks cheap. When in rome.

>>61930955
not that great, but better than most "white collar" graduates who work at starbucks or are chronically unemployed.

>>61930955
>relying on the statistic jew
lmao. let me guess, that's before taxes?

>>61930955
Yeah, blue collars don’t make much plus the damage on the body. Not saying white collars makes more or less, lets ignore white collar but most people would rather not do blue collar.

>>61930925
> do you know what driveway guys get? Beers. the customer buys them a 6 pack, or they used.
What do you mean? This isn’t even a “job.” It is literally put two tiles on. What “guys?” Its a one man job with tools and workers already on site.
>driveway guys
We are talking about one worker here

>>61930925
Wtf is a driveway guy?

>>61930925
*2000

>>61931032
>yeah my dad's boyfriend's cousin's best friend's cellmate's former landlord's son does underwater space ship welding makes $980k a year

>>61931032
>>61931205
>also does side jobs for CASH (that's UNDER THE TABLE) for space x, that's another $700-900k depending on how much he wants to work

>>61930887
Mega projects are wierd they draw in a buch of residential dipshits into a comercial setting. Definitely a clash of worlds

>>61931037
>plus the damage on the body
Ironically you probably do way more damage to your body piloting a desk 8 hours a day than people whose job pushes them into regular exercise, though obviously that stops being as sustainable the older you get

Retail is the way to go if you’re not retarded
>start working at Walmart in 2022
>made “coach” within 3 months and now making ~60 a year instead of 30
>2 months after that manager at 86k
>by end of first year i get transferred to a new building and made AGM 100k a year
>GM of that building swaps buildings for a new one after 4 months
>im now GM of a store in a 95% white town with monthly expenses of about 1500 and 130k / y
Looking at corporate gigs next which will start letting me get close to 200
I’m 26, retail is amazing if you’re above 100 IQ cause you just speed-run past everyone else for promotions. As long as color is green for profits over last year you’re getting thousands in bonuses and stock options to boot.

Although i will say, having to pay almost 10k in taxes after given 100+k in stock options during one of my promotions was pretty annoying

>>61931982
In my experience only attractive young women got promoted.

>>61930829
If you factor in the time and gas to drive to Lowe's to buy the tile, watch a YouTube video on how to do it, and/or what it costs the construction boss to manage those employees, pay their employer taxes etc, you'll probably get to $100.

>>61931824
the only fit tradies are the ones whove been on the job less than 10 years

>>61932464
The employees and tools and equipment and whatever were already next door. All he had to do was tell someone to
walk next door and glue two tiles on.
>>61932673
This. Its called wear and tear.

>>61926907
Wowzies! Thats a lot of money! You should be very grateful!
