Sadly had to go through a scam

This is so important for anyone embarking on an apprenticeship, I’ve known sparky apprenticeships where the company had actual licensed engineers but were deliberately delaying the apprentices months sometimes over a year so as to save pay. I’ve even seen companies drop the accredited course needed near the end of apprenticeships and lay off the apprentices. Some truly shocking and appalling things, some companies are borderline criminal.

Thanks for this video man, I highly appreciate it. I found out a whole bunch of massive flags at my current plumbing company, I'm almost about to hit my first year mark and came into the plumbing trade as a greenie, let alone blue collar in general. My company charges top dollar for labor charges, yet the only guy at our company who is actually licensed is our boss, which is a master plumber. All the guys on the plumbing side are still technically "apprentices" through licensing standards, yet they're doing work that is required to have a license, such as new construction, which requires for a master or journeyman to be on site, but the master isn't there. Last month, I got tired of my bosses antics and charades because I felt like I was hired on as a glorified laborer/handyman, and the disrespectful trash that comes out of his mouth. So, I ended up going to another plumbing company to see if they were hiring apprentices because I actually want to do plumbing work, not weird stuff that isn't even related to actual plumbing. The other company said I wasn't even registered through the state, I was shell-shocked to hear that. I was fed false-information about how my boss was going to register me after 30 days, but it turns out that didn't even actually happen, and I'm about to hit my first year with several hours that aren't even documented. The other company helped me get registered through the state and told me I need to give that to my boss, just so I don't lose my hours because the other plumbing company wants to get me on board and start actually teaching me plumbing theory. I did exactly that, handed my paper work in and my boss said he would take care of it. A month has dragged by and he wasn't doing it, even though it took less than a few seconds. I finally got somewhere recently, but I have no idea if he actually submitted the paperwork or if the state is backlogged with so much crap. And it's hard not to raise any suspicion because I feel like they know I'm giving off the vibe that I want to get the hell out of there. It's so frustrating because the other company wants to get me on, but they want to make sure I get my actual hours so I don't end up getting screwed out of a years worth of work. And it's funny, he promised the world to me during my interview and said that if I was adamant about wanting to exceed ambitions, they wanted to make sure I get there and they wanted me on as an apprentice, not a laborer. But it doesn't seem like that, it's easier for them to keep me unregistered and get cheap labor than to actually do plumbing stuff. Hell, they still haven't allowed me to solder a pressurized copper water line, yet I've done it plenty of times as practice on my free time, and I'm a year within the trade. It sucks that some companies out there like to screw with their workers and see how much leeway they have to exploit the rules and their workers.

@@Kennymolotov Hey man, I'm just following up with an update. Almost two weeks ago, I ended up putting my two weeks notice in when my master plumber boss was on vacation to the other boss. I explained to them that I needed to step back from life because I recent suffered the death of my mom in May. Last Monday, my Master Plumber pulled me to the side and attempted to dissuade me from resigning. He actually had the intent of bringing on a licensed Journeyman onto his crew, and since he can have so many people on his crew for whatever tax and osha reasons, he was gonna actually fire the other apprentice that was hired on with me right around the same time. He started to give me a whole bunch of sugar coated lies, as to how I'm more of an ambitious and hard working apprentice than the other apprentice. He also threw in the whole one dollar raise bs on me, since I just passed my one year mark in early June. He gave me a few days to ponder on my decision. The next day, I asked him what his ultimate goals, as to whether I stayed or left. If I stayed, he would've fired the other apprentice and kept me on to do more rigorous tasks, but that's probably a lie and they would've stuck me on non-plumbong related tasks. If I was keen on leaving, he told me he wouldn't let me finish my two weeks and my last day would be this upcoming Monday. It gets worse, he also told me if I intended on leaving, the opportunity of going back to this company would be closed, which is funny, because all of my bosses fed me lies about how much respect they had for me. And to add salt to the wound, he told me it was "No hard feelings" and I could still go on their stupid camping trip. I originally planned on going to the trip, solely because my coworkers are cool, but I decided at the last minute not to go and ultimately bailed out on going and didn't tell anyone. Since Monday is my last day, I'm not gonna give them the employee respect of working and I'm gonna go into the workplace in the morning and turn in my uniforms. It doesn't matter, the other plumbing company, who told me about the unethical behavior of my current one, is taking me onto their payroll this Tuesday. Thanks for inspiring me to get out of this hell hole, @Kenny Molotov. You're an awesome content creator and I truly appreciate your authenticity and unbiased videos.

If he told you that you are not welcome back because you want to pursue your individual growth, then you would never be welcome back. I’m proud of you for fighting for your future. Be respectful tomorrow when you walk out, and promise your older self you will never take advantage of an apprentice like he did. The world is your oyster friend. I’m rooting for you ❤️.

I know a man who has been screwed our of years worth of hours because of this reason. Also why is it so hard to give a guy his affidavit of hours when he askes?

that's why when I see "apprenticeship" advertised I ask them if they are registered with the state. Then I look up the program standards, and ask my pre-apprenticeship instructors about them if they are registered with the state. One of the nice things about the States here, quite a number states have an official registry and keep track of your hours and issue you a journeyman card from the Dept of Labor & Industry. The apprenticeships that register have to comply with certain standards.

Alot of plumbing companies seriously take advantage of experienced apprentices, they will hire you with promises of giving you your own truck soon or paying you a higher wages soon, and still have you doing the entire jobs and not paying you what you are truly. This is the reason the trade is so hard to get into

@youknowkbbaby

It doesn't sound like a trade shortage. Or else they would be hiring and keeping people as much as possible.

My first day as an apprentice I was a helper in a commercial stack replacement. I got my van at 6 months and it was scary doing my own jobs especially because I was so used to commercial repairs. So service and drain cleaning was scary but I could change out a 4” CI main line for a building no problem. I had to learn service calls and drain cleaning myself. I’m a year half plumber and doing shower valves and brazing 3” copper pipes solo. The learning and experience is awesome but I was still getting apprentice pay. The true question is: are you in it for the trade or the money? Tbh it started as the money and I fell in love with the trade. I’m with a different company now and making commission but I owe my skills to my previous company. Ya, I wasn’t getting paid the amount I should have for the jobs I was doing. But I took the skills I learned and went to someplace where the pay accordingly. I made $600k for my company my first year and made $34k now I’m at a company that pays 24% on every job I do is awesome. So, apprentices get your hand dirty and keep pushing on and every time your in a dirty shitty job, just say “smells like money”

Another problem I've seen with companies' lack of transparency with guys who want to go back to school. They constantly leave guys in the dark as to WHEN they can go to school, at whatever level they're in. There are some guys on my crew who have been in their apprenticeship for 6 years and are only level 4's because of how many times the company held them back from going to school due to their own reasons. The excuse is usually to do with the company being "too busy" to send guys back to school, I feel it's more of an issue with not wanting to pay guys more money if they can get the same quality of work from them at a lower level wage. Guys end up having to quit the company to go back to school on time and miss out on E.I coverage through the apprenticeship program in our province. A five year apprenticeship can turn into 8 really quick if you hook up with a company who promises you the world but doesn't help you get your education in the right time frame.

Another thing that has happened to me many times is that I was doing all the hard work and then the foremen who was smoking on all corners of the job site all day, talking to everybody took all the credit for it because he is the one that talks to the boss directly . So my advice for apprentices that can work on their own is to take pictures of the work they do and keep it for their records (I also used that as proof of what I can do when I was looking for a new job) and don't get caught on your phone doing that lol

I was working for a shipping company for awhile and they promised me welding experience, which was a total sham so I would come in every day and do crap jobs no one else would do.

To become an official apprentice and start your apprenticeship in Ontario Canada, you and your employer need to fill out the forms from the college of trades to be signed up as an official apprentice. Once those forms are filed, from that point forward you are considered an apprentice and will be sent to school 3 times and you need to finish 9000hrs of work. Once you finish 9000hrs and pass all 3 in class sessions you can then challenge the Red Seal (licensing exam). Once you pass that you are officially a Red Seal Journeyperson.

Hey Tristan, you have to see for yourself. It’s a legitimate business, I assume most are honest and hardworking. But like anything you have to filter it on a business by business basis. Just keep your eyes and ears open, and have faith. Not all businesses are scams, but we must still be cautious. I hope this helps ❤️☮️

Tremain, I'm sorry to hear about this experience man. I was wondering if it is at all possible to keep the hours logged with this company and put them towards your apprenticeship? I know here in Ontario Canada, as long as I can prove with pay stubs that I was working for a plumbing company, I can use ALL those hours towards my apprenticeship, even though I wasn't Officially signed up as an apprentice...Take a look into it, you still might have a chance to keep those hours. And let me know what you find!

Dion if roto rooter is making you buy a van, it sounds like something you can and should avoid. The company should own its own vans and supply their workers with them.
