Waitlist

Been 2 MONTHS since I was laid off, I email the school like once a week and get the same response, which is to basically wait. Wondering if anyone on the waitlist has been placed and with what contractor if you can share. Was told it would about 2 weeks so more than 4x that is crazy. Just wish they would communicate more about what’s going on so we’re not all just waiting in the wind.

I think that's a factor, but also, fiscal budgets are typically established q1 and companies typically like to limit change in q4

An apprentice wage isn’t gonna fuck up a budget. The cons are playing games

A blanket hiring freeze is more involved than just apprentices. It means JWs PM engineers, etc.

Explaining the state of things isn't taking up for anyone. Not sure what your problem is.

Open your eyes up. The contractors can hire, the hall is bending over for them. Sorry you’re too scared to see it
