[QUOTE="Adamn, post: 16714590, member: 135019"] I started working when I was 14 sweeping floors and mowing grass at a John Deere dealership. After I graduated high school I hung drywall for 6 years before becoming a commercial carpenter which I did for 12 years. 4 years ago I got a job working for a small, but higher class city. I have always worked hard and when I was a carpenter I busted my ass and became a foreman. I didn’t mind the position but it was a high stress job and their safety director had to justify his position and come up with new safety standards all the time because “Every injury is preventable”. That, plus having do deal with lots of incompetent workers when we were really busy started te wear on me. My thought when I applied to the city was it would be a no stress job with lots of paid time off, good benefits, close to home, job security, and the pay is basically the same as I typically made as a carpenter. My issue that I’ve realized over the last 4 years is hard work and taking pride in your work, which I’ve always done means nothing there. You have to be a kiss ass, which I’ll never do to get a promotion and they will never pay you more than they are contractually obligated to. Half of the people I work with are lazy and talk shit about everyone, it’s like working with a bunch of high school girls at times. In my current situation it isn’t about what I put in unless what I put in is some serious ass kissing. I keep an eye out for better options where I can actually earn more based on work ethic and skill. [/QUOTE]
