As of last Monday we were all fired for cheaper people.. Not exactly fired but they're doing it in a way they won't have to pay unemploymen

 

[DNFXDLI]

[SuperCab]

Sorry to hear that... Hope you find something else soon...

Sorry to hear of the "lay off" Chris, what would you be doing in Louisiana?

 

[5.0Flareside]

building and tearing down large scaffolding.. like multiple stories high.. idk if it's what i wanna do.. but it's a job and it pays damn good..

 

[Beach66Bum]

I've done some of that, not to hard physically, the height would be more of a issue, in residential it's only 2 story's high

I hope you find something that you want to do, Chris. I wouldn't want to be just starting out in today's market.

 

[5.0Flareside]

yeah i know it friggin sucks....

 

[kiwi f150]

Sorry to hear that Chris that does suck big time.
I know it goes against the grain but is there anyway you can stay on as one of the cheaper workers until you find something better

Sorry to hear Chris...Ive been there man it sucks...Ever consider custodial work?
An established school custodian can live very comfortably on their earnings..along with hospitalazation and benefits & their own retirement program...Its not that difficult of a job either...I started out subbing for the full timers learning the ropes went to Boiler school and got my firing license which enabled me to work in building maintenance as well..Nows the time Chris time goes by pretty quick man...Good luck!!
