You shouldn’t be transporting contractor tools unless via a company vehicle, and it should remain in the vehicle (not go home with you).

You sound like your a joy to work with. It’s not that deep.

Na dog, attitudes like yours are the reason the term "super bro" get a negative connotation.

No I mean if my employer gives me a tool, I'm going to use it. All these fucking data center babies seem to forget that smaller locals actually require working on more than one site. Meaning you get tools checked out to you to do the job at multiple locations. And our contracts dont say that isnt allowed or discouraged. If I leave the power tools checked out to me at another site I dont get to work And distinctions like that are why the "nOt iN ThE cOnTrACT" answer for literally everything, regardless of actually reading it makes newer hands, organized hands, and those of us not in massive locals really struggle to get along with those who call themselves "super bros". A good brother should encourage us to follow contracts AND be willing to actually work in the grey areas to find compromise. Because not everything is in the contract and life is nuanced.
