Not so much on the ball field or in the gym..

Curiously though, this part of your post..

I think you feel like having a union job guarantees a 40 hour a week check. It doesn’t. When that business owner has no work and no money to pay you you sit at home with nothing. It’s up to the individual to hustle up work and get the money to feed his kids and pay his rent or mortgage.


Doesn’t that bring us full circle to the thread about unions, developing your own work and how it’s discouraged etc? lol

If fuckstick is being picketed, I’d go out of my way to help him get biz, because I respect his hustle.

We are basically all our own contractors. The union doesn’t find us work. It’s our job to hustle and get it ourselves. You build a reputation and that’s how you land on the next job site. When one job finishes you are laid off and need to go find another. The union has no issue with side work. If that’s what you need to do for a while to make ends meet go for it. It’s when you go work for the non union guy and train our competitors it’s the issue. Through my hustle I became a sharpe guy so I didn’t need to bounce around looking for work sharpe always kept me busy. Most guys aren’t as lucky or their skills aren’t there or whatever the case. I work very hard and I’m good at what I do but there’s been plenty of “luck” or blessings along the way. There’s no hand outs or free rides just because you are a union member

THIS!

I had to refi my house at nearly 7% because of all the rain. Basically 2 years from October to March riding the financial struggle bus.

You cant just send you workers home when it rains. I ended up paying them so they would NOT go look for other work. Several of my guys have been with me for 15 years plus. My payroll only is about $25K a month, and nothing for me after I purchase stupid expensive materials, fuel/gas, payroll costs, work comp, etc.

Were back full bore but it will take over a year to get back to where I was. Maybe longer.

Yep. I remember we were with Yopengo, his friends and RiverMobster out on the water during Desert Storm years ago and you were on the phone non stop discussing work issues while we were all having fun drinking beers. 🍺🍺😝

Some good business advice I once got is summed up in One word: 1099

So I am understanding just send them home with a 1099? Well we try to work, then it rains, and I send them home and pay the day.

I have also been through 5 audits and two of those were forensic in nature. 1099's is what put me on the radar as I had a licensed company I used to finish drywall (texture and paint). The fucker never took care of his own BS and said he was an actual employee. The IRS had a hey day with that one settling that shit right into my lap.

Construction has some great people and just as much Garbage humans as well.

Not sure how "1099" became good business advice.

You do know, if you are the only payer to that 1099 person you will be looked at from the IRS and be penalized/fined.

I mean contracting employees for various jobs rather than hiring on permanently. That or part time only. Sub what you can seems to be the advice I got.

Is Fuckstick locked up again or did BNSF catch him jumping the tracks?

Heard a guy on a podcast today talking about just being a door guy and skimming entry fees. Because he was hustling to just get by.
