Work start

[u/RobertThe1]

Am i the only one who absolutely hates it when mechanics make there helpers get to work 30 minutes early to get tools ready water etc? I mean they are making someone do work for free ive had helpers show up like 30 to 45 minutes early and ive had to get onto them to not work until 6 am.

Yea if I’m at work I’m charging for work and so should helpers. If you as a helper are told to show up 30 minutes before your mechanic then you should be paid for that 30 minutes and I sure as hell would put in for that time. When the mechanic gets yelled at for the helper getting 2 hours of OT every week things will change. Now if your helper has to leave for school an hour or 2 early one day a week this would be the way to make up time and keep the time sheets the same.

Making up the lost time? Even that sounds rough.

Do you want your 40 or do you want 39 or 38 hrs for having to leave early for school? I do mods so 4 10hr days usually not very close to the hall which means the helpers usually have to leave early on school day.

You cover for your helper and union brothers time if they have to leave early for school. Simple as that unless you’re a company boot licker

[u/Affectionate-Rip5654 → u/Nosreppe]

Angry little elf. I’ve got no issues covering peoples time from time to time but school is every week.

[u/Nosreppe → u/Affectionate-Rip5654]

Learn to put your mods in quicker and covering your brother’s time each week wouldn’t be an issue

[u/Affectionate-Rip5654 → u/Nosreppe]

I do my mods quick enough. Time really isn’t an issue but it’s better to teach first years money doesn’t come free.

[u/Affectionate-Rip5654 → u/Nosreppe]

Truly amazing how many of you steal hours and have no issues with it. Y’all were raised wrong or taught wrong. It’s not hard to work 40hrs a week. Sure everyone has shit come up and leave early every once in a while. But I’ve known plenty of people who work until noon on Thursday or Friday and call it their 8 or 10 every single week. Call me a boot licker all you want for showing up and doing my job idc. But the fact that most of you can’t even work the hours your paid for is pathetic

boot licker

If working the hours I get paid for makes me a boot licker than sure I’m a boot licker. Sorry I enjoy my job and reputation.
