My son asked about minimum wage, and I told him what it is federally.
I also told him I pay more than 40 hours of minimum wage in income tax weekly, sometimes far more.
He asked why the government is so greedy, and I said they need money to live like rich people funded by taxpayers.
So he said “so basically they don’t want a real job, so they just rob people…”
Yes son, now you understand.
I have about 20 grand worth of my own tools in my box at work
The quickest way to get on my bad side is to constantly be in my toolbox.
I’m trying to be lenient while my newer guys build up their own set.
One gets it, the other one says things like “are we taking the box to the shop or are we leaving it here?”
And he never puts things back in the correct spot.
There is no “we”, and for years touching my toolbox was a known fireable offense.
I mean a literal company wide policy.
I may need to reinstate it…
Sometimes the thermocouple (temp sensor) will just go out, but it’s in the company’s interest for me to investigate.
If I can solder a broken wire back together as opposed to replacing a 450 dollar cable, well I think you get the idea…
