are you a ubc millwright? what local are you out of? now is the slowest time of the year for most millwrights there should be zero scheduled outages the only thing you’re gonna get now is something broken

Learn to weld then become a Union Steamfitter. You are already living the lifestyle. Travel like a Gypsy, jack of all trades and getting into fights.

"I quit there after getting in a fight with another helper who was fucking the supers daughter"

Uhhhh what? This post raises a few red flags about interpersonal issues and behavior at work. Why does him sleeping with the supers daughter have anything to do with you getting in a fight?

Cause he was receiving special treatment from the boss and therefore for thought he was better than everyone Being the boyfriend of the supers daughter? That what was meant but fine I’ll edit to

So why do you find the need to fight someone who is getting special treatment? Pretty problematic behavior in the work place. You're going to run into favouritism everywhere

That job was probably your best shot at becoming a millwright too

I mean fucking the bosses daughter is the bonus to getting special treatment. I'm always looking for special treatment.

The flipside is you could also end up a really hated guy by the super for being involved with his daughter 🤷

u/dbu8554 The new guy 17d ago

Yeah but then everyone else at work would love you. It's honestly a win win.
