I know the way the pipes are required to go in, and my boss will look at the way I've done things (which will pass the inspection) and go "I'd have done that differently. No no, it'll work, but it's not how I'd do it". I suggested that we start using drawn plans as a part of the estimate and he refuses because "nobody would use it anyway". We go off-script because we have no script, but he doesn't wanna make a script because we don't stick to the one in his head that he hasn't shown anyone.

This dude was standing 20 feet plus away from the hole talking about how he only got "so many thousands" over asking price for his house. I immediately found a different company to work for.

I'm the foreman for a crew and I always get in there with the guys and lead by example. If they need time off, I cover for them. I take care of my workers. Actually I'm not a foreman of anything and I've never worked construction in my life. If was, I probably wouldn't do either of those things.

This is litterally what I imagine my foreman doing ever since. And i think it's 900% accurate actually
