Well guess this a little rant and seeing how your company does things. Here is a little background on me. I do mostly site work, bulk dirt moving. Been with the company almost 9 years coming up in June. I started with a shovel in a ditch, just was given a brand new kobelco 485 excavator. I'm our main operater for loading trucks. I'm good not the best, probably better than I give myself credit for. I come to work everyday on time and stay till I'm told to go home take care of the equipment clean greased everyday. Not a scratch on my hoe and trying to make sure it stays that way. I take pride in my work and try to improve everyday. I ran my first job last summer. Got done wasn't the best but a lot of that was due to the company having too much work and spread too thin. The owners son is my main boss. We never know when we are going home it bugs me. Might work ten hours might work 11 or 12 or till the cops show up for noise ordinance. I don't really have a problem with it but it would be nice to know sometimes to plan things. You ask in the morning how late and he treats you like crap. Just trying to plan my personal life. Not asking to leave early just want to know so I plan. I work 6 to 7 days week usually. I'm single got my own place so I need to take care of it. Just hard to find energy to do laundry sometimes. I love my job but guess just getting burned out there. Well to get to my point of this was wondering how a lot of the places you guys work operate with quitting time and stuff like getting paid to clean tracks and grease. Seems like he has been skimming time off of us for that too lately. And I also know that what we do is very weather dependent. I get you gotta make hay when the sun is shining.
