    Default Not good

    THATS NOT GOOD.

    i really think that if you stay on the tools long enough. Rather than take a supervisory role ... That you aren't wanted by the " newer management " I think we intimidate them ".
    Just a theory. 🇨🇮

    Supervising myself now. Three Romainian gangs Working for an irish company sub contracted through a German employment agency run by a Croatian.

    I know. I know. WTF.

    Oh they gave me "cause" alright, the old standby, lack of work. I do agree with your theory Bren, the gf came here from the west, has done very little live work and maybe has done some transmission work. Every time I reminded him that I have been doing this kind of work he got royally PO'd. He kept muttering that I wouldn't take direction , yet I did every task I was assigned. Strange duck!!

    Hey Tramp! How are ya doing man? No I am not back working yet, but that is the screwed up part. I just found out the other day the company called back all but 2 of us , one week later. Of course the fellas called back were hired after us. The union is mad as ****. For the good I have a couple of possibilities lined up, work is coming, a little slow picking up, but it is coming!

    Not that you are interested Rob as it is a long way from cold country, but there is an abundance of work in Florida, transmission and distribution, take your pick. Charlie.
