So you say most are greedy and cheap, implying that you acknowledge some aren't and are great employers.
What do you know about construction anyway, newb.
It was a serious question.
Sorry can't ever tell whose being a douchebag and whose not
I can’t speak for your experience in the work force but in my career the more responsibility I am willing to take on and the more I bust my ass the more money I make. I’m talking from my first legal job at NAPA that I started at age 15 making min wage and worked till I went into the military after graduating HS making $9.75 hr in 1992. Military career made E-5 in 4 years by busting my ass and taking on shit that others wouldn’t. Government contractor gig I went from just a grunt making ok money starting out to more than doubling my pay in 3 years and by year 4 I was a site manager and at year 6 I was a project manager and making about 4x the money as when I was hired. I went to work every day and treated what I did as it was my business on the line and expected everyone that worked for me to treat it the same way. Crew members that worked for me had every opportunity to advance and keep their jobs and some did very well but most wanted the pay and a title handed to them but not willing to bust their ass to earn it so they were sent on their way to talk about how great they were and the project would never get done without them. Now I work a union job that as long as you have the time in title everyone makes the same $$$ per hour no matter how good or how shitty you are at your job. We have a performance bonus program that is on a sliding scale for different metrics that if you meet that ranges from about 4% to 12% of our monthly salary. Since I have been at this job for the last 6 years I’ve made the max payout every month while others have never made the bonus once. I am very driven to succeed and call bullshit when I see it in all things I do as some friends can vouch for me on that @CasterTroy , @Jason W. ,@josh$$ . So @marty79 I call BULLSHIT on employers being to cheap or greedy to pay you if you are such a great employee.
Remember, this thread started out as "Butt-hurt 0 bonus"! It's been entertaining to see how quick it gets personal, & the Dung Flies!
Sounds kinda steep to me,greedy much??
Thanks bro, that's what I do day to day. I can't stress enough that others, not me, blew this out of proportion..it's expected.
For some reason, whenever other people post a thread or reply to a thread on NC4x4, it generally stays calm, cool, and collected. I have no clue what the majority of people on here do, how often they change jobs, or what they think of their bosses religious beliefs. So I'm not sure what the common link is in the YATFR's.
That sounds like @trailhugger 's wit for sure
No shit. We are in a high cost of living area, and dont pay early career engineers $25 an hour.
