It's what my old boss told me to say whenver I put in for leave. If you ask, corporate always wants you working, so it's no. If you declare, they may be upset, they may try to beggar you, they may even get you in trouble, but they won't chain you up to stop you.
@@Mortablunt bingo...my old boss learned that the hard way trying to get us to work the day after Thanksgiving , before and after Christmas ...yea they tried to threatened people by Bringing up a form everyone signed that had bs rant about how times are tough, that we are understaffed , and it might require younto work different jobs , odd hours more additional hours the results people didn't show up the day before, after
@@residentJokeBiden see it’s funny, y’all muricans have thanksgiving in the middle of the damn week, and you’ve got work the next day, as opposed to having it on a weekend and getting the Monday off like we do in Canada
@@zanderchiasson8064 where I'm currently working we have off Thursday but have to work a normal day Saturday. So we really don't have a day off or real time to spend with it families. It's annoying.
@@zanderchiasson8064 most jobs here is open most days of the week a very few are closed on Sundays but most are open mon to Sunday so no matter what most of us will be off and then work the next day.
I work to live. But I can live any day of the year. I work for a company that everyone knows is open all the time. And a lot of people like the fact that we are open. We will be quite busy.
@@MyHentaiGirl I'm quite literally the red headed, left handed, middle child of a white family ..... so yeah I see my family maybe once or twice per year at most bc im the least favorite 😂😂
@@RefinedRandy with you Westerners i notice (not all of you of course) that many simply don't visit your parents or siblings very often (like only meet in special holiday) I live by myself now but every 1-3 days i come back home to visit my younger brothers, sometime eat my mom cooking . I just doesn't feel right just ignore them like that So..... if i work on holiday.....i could just visit them when im off work lolz
I just love the deadline, And Ricky is correct, it's set by someone who will never set foot on the job site, And then it's almost unattainable with a full crew, let alone they want you to run with a skeleton crew. And refuse to let you know your working Sunday until 5:45 p.m. on Saturday. And then find out that on the weekends and sometime thru the week, the Forman slips home or at least off the job site at 10am and comes back at 5:30 to make sure no one left early. And then find out as long as someone is working on his crew the Forman, whether he is there or not is getting payed so someone is always working late 7 days a week.
If they paid like that every day, I might find more fucks laying around. You’d think an employer would take note that every time there’s an incentive, more fucks magically turn up.
To all you construction workers, taking your Thanksgiving time; I appreciate you taking your time off, as much as I love an empty construction site. Hopefully going to get a jump on filming with these holidays here.
Ya when nobody shows up to work on a holiday, its like a party regardless, practically free money just to show and take a 40 minute shit in the porta john, and fk off the rest of the day
Just want to say, thanks to Ricky, Roscoe, The Boss, and all the folks on the Site. Your vids come in just in time; everytime. Was literally pacing back and forth having potential future arguments stressed off my ass. Did a bump and watch this and now I'm gonna go handle my shit.
I really loved working a job knowing that if I didn't show up to work I wouldn't get fired because no one would replace me. Now I have a job that makes about 5x that and when I want to miss work I can't unless I use PTO. The power you have working a job that no one else wants is something else. I remember listening to a conversation of of supervisor telling someone you will be fired if you don't come in for New Years shift. He said fire me and I'll have a job by the next day. He came in on Jan 3rd, missing his new year shift, and started the day like normal. Wasn't even called in for missing.
There was a lady who asked for time off and her request was denied so she quit. Her quitting shut down her entire town because she had picked up so many responsibilities in her small town in Maine.
For every 5 people that retire from the trades only 2 come in to replace them. You may need to remind a boss of those numbers when someone comes to you with a request to work a holiday.
Had Turkey Day yesterday...so the kids can be at Parents house. I am working Thursday. Happy Thanksgiving....even to Cowboys fans..?????.....Go 'Stros..!!!..WS Champs.
Always hated working for companies that didn't observe holidays like they don't care about family time it actually helps productivity to give your guys a break every once in awhile let him spend time with their family or do whatever the hell they want and also for deadlines you should have probably planned that in when you noticed hey look it's going to be during Thanksgiving Christmas and all those breaks and right in the middle of deer season which probably is more important
These are hilarious. And I feel for the poor foreman trying to keep these guys organized. But keep putting out funny content like this. By the way, I think I used to work with Ricky.
One of my mate work catering for a coal mine in Sydney? during a holiday....and it was weekend He basically earn 80$ an hour .....and all the time he spent there, even when sleeping .....count I mean he have to went to the bump fuck no where with the nearest town at least 50km away
Funny thing is at the city I work at we still use a pager style system for the after hours emergencies. Whenever theres a problem the customer calls the emergency number and leaves their phone number then the system sends a page to all the work phones so whoever is on call can call the number to get ahold of the customer.
I've been trying to watch this video, but my beeper keeps interrupting. Then I have to stop to make a call in the other room cause the line is too short to reach in here. High tech life is a bitch. Of course can't use the modem and the phone at the same time, so…
Overtime should not be taxed. This will skyrocket production, happy wife's, and filter out lazy guys from people who really want to work. Plus more money to spend and help the economy. Who's with me? Let's get a president that makes this happen!
The past few years my shift has worked thanksgiving, well this year the company decided not to, but still needed two people to come in to watch the boiler/building. Instantly volunteered cuz 12 hours triple pay to just sit in the bosses office and watch RU-vid lol.
I'm currently at work the night before Thanksgiving. My normal shift is 12 hours but, due to the fact that they're shutting down for the weekend tomorrow morning 2 hours after I usually get off, I'm currently working a 14 hour shift. You best believe that overtime WILL be reflected on my timesheet.
I don't work this Thanksgiving, but I work 24th 25th and 26th of December 36 hours at time and a half plus 24 hours holiday pay. Getting paid 78 hours for working 36 plus night shift differential...2500 bucks for three fuckin days. Plus I will still be awake so I can watch my kid open his presents and I don't have to deal with my family. That's an all around win there.
@@metaldude1085 after 401k Healthcare and all my other dedections which add up to about 20% I still take home 1500 so irs can take there 500 bucks...that I get back in February anyway.
And THAT"S the difference between trying to threaten someone into doing what you want when they have very little to lose and offering them GENUINE incentives ladies and gentlemen.
Spitting facts right here! I had the same mindset when working for Walmart. If by some miracle I was working on a holiday I made a deliberate effort to fuck around all day🤣🤣🤣
I sympathize with the first part of the video, I think there are curtain lines companies shouldn't attempt to cross under any circumstances and days off like Christmas and thanksgiving are one of them (unless you work in emergency services or something like that).
LMAO... About Fax machines, I had to work with this one Dingbat who would get an email with 24x36 and 30x42 drawings, then print them out on 8.5x11, then fax them to my office because she hadn't ever heard of forwarding an email. This was in 2018. She asked me if I had gotten her fax, I told her no because I don't accept faxed over drawings to work off of, they're illegible. She went on to tell me how the last guy whom I had replaced would accept them, so I told her, I'm not that guy, I'm me and I won't accept them in that format, I need them in a full sized format, either physical or digital. That's when I found out she didn't know how to forward the drawings. I tried to help her and she made every excuse in the book as to why it was too difficult. Then I offered to get her set up with Dropbox and she said, "I've talked to many other people in our industry about this Dropbox thing, and they all confirmed that it's the most difficult program to use." I told her, "If using modern technology is that difficult for her or anyone else, because forwarding and email and using Dropbox are probably 2 of the easiest things to do and are literally industry standards across many industries and have been for a decade now, but if it's that hard for you to do, maybe it's time you thought about retiring. I don't have the time for your excuses, and pushback. I'm happy to drive across the state to come to your office one day and show you how to do this if necessary, but this is how we're doing business from now on, it's 2018, I'm not accepting reduced and garbled versions of large format drawings. You are welcome to speak with the owner as he's the one who authorized my decisions." She ended up not forwarding projects to me and doing the designs herself and it nearly cost her her job because of how badly she messed up several projects.
When boss man brought up the triple time, it would have been a perfect opportunity for Ricky to ask him "Why the fuck didn't you just lead off this meeting with that and avoid the conversation that you KNEW would result from you telling us we had to work Thanksgiving?"
This literally happened to me this year, except it was the Friday before Xmas. I threw a fit at work about it, and then they said triple time, and you bet your ass I was there for the whole 8 hour day.
Y'all have a Great Thanksgiving workin OT, triple pay. Hopefully it's not pizza that's delivered. 😁 Ricky, get a vid from the other 1/2 that's not in prison of the fight. That's a MUST see. 🦃Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
Our contract has the day after or before a holiday that is on the weekend as holiday pay, as well as the day after Thanksgiving. I’m a sparky working on a Bitcoin mine. Thanksgiving they wanted us to come in Friday because the first phase needs done and started up by January 1, so we said sure, we will work for double time. Not even ten minutes later they come back saying we won’t have work Friday. Hahahaha
I work construction. Have for years. Does anyone out there really have a nazi run job that doesn't let you off for Thanksgiving??? Cuz our jobs pretty roughneck and we'd laugh if someone told us we were working Thanksgiving🤣
I work construction as well, but we got pushed back due to weather on this site. Gettin double time, a turkey, and 30 rack of beer. Decided it was worth it😅
