I HATE MY DIRT WORK JOB!!!!! I run smaller equipment (jumping jacks, jack hammers, etc) and there’s a damn person who keeps trying to tell me to go over spots and areas and do tasks that were actually in my path and will nag and nag and nag until i actually go do it! And I can’t talk to my foreman about it since they are buddy-buddy with each other. Then when I look up to see what said person is doing, they were standing in the corner leaning on a shovel!! The hours are too long and there are only bare minimum breaks. On paper the wage looks good but when you do the actual work, it’s clearly an underpaid job.
