NWI INGO General Post - Part 8

[Snapdragon]

Yeah, but half pay is better than no pay. I'm looking for a job, and I'm about ready to settle for anything to get some money coming in. If I could weld...

Wife is making breakfast smelling like Bacon in here! This afternoon we are heading across the line to the Windy City Smokeout for some BBQ and Eli Young Band.

kev- why do you feel welders should make that much money? I think these out of staters working on this pipeline are making around $100/hr... Why on earth should they be making that? all their doing is fusing metals...

ANYONE can fuse metals together, but how many can do full penetration welds that can withstand pressure testing without failing? And not just pass sometimes, or most times, but every single time?

Yup. I can weld. But to make my welds look good you need to follow me around with a grinder and a wire wheel. There are people who can weld and then there are skilled welders.

Exactly. It would be the same as saying 'why pay mechanics more than minimum wage? Anyone can turn a wrench....' You are paying for their knowledge and skills.

Right now it's hard to find another job that's willing to offer a good wage and benefits to start. Most want experience and willing to let the new employee's do most everything under the sun for a position. Like Snapdragon, I have been looking and not had any results, a lot of "we will get back to you" and not a word or email to say sorry or the position is filled. I like how the same position is back up in a week or two on the job sites.

Yeah. I've applied to retail and call center jobs, and never get a call, and then I see the same position posted in a few weeks. Can't even get a ****ing minimum wage job at a call center.

 

[xfrostybeersx]

Republic call center? If so lmk. I know the GM down there

 

[Snapdragon]

Not Republic, but I'm interested. What kind of call center is it and where is it? Thanks.

 

[xfrostybeersx]

Customer service call center for Republic services in Morocco. Corner of 114 & 41

[Snapdragon]

Wow. That would be a hike. Do you know how much they pay? Better yet, I may just ride the truck.

Thanks, though. I'll check into it. Would need to get a smaller car for sure.

No idea about wages but as part of the training you do get to ride on a garbage truck for a day.

And get the free lunch?

 

[CTC B4Z]

Lolololol

 

[xfrostybeersx]

And get the free lunch?

Hell yeah. Ur choice. We pickup BW3, McDonald's, golden corral, KFC....lots of leftovers in them cans

 

[CTC B4Z]

I always wondered why all trashmen are like rails, it's cause by time they get their lunch, the flies have already took all the nutrients!

 

[Snapdragon]

Speaking of that, Frosty, do you know a guy named Ralph that lives on the 900 block of S. Main?

Prepping a fence for staining sucks.
