At 27 years of age I’m right in the millennial. I won’t work for a company that has to cover their truck with stickers to prevent stupid. I #### sure won’t work for a place that micromanages everything down to the exact amount a fuel you put in where.
That’s no way to earn a living or live life.

Well the first two were at a church. Pulled in . Poured the foundation. Cement did not come out right even to my inexperienced eye. Told boss man they better slump test this thing. He paled. Got on the cell.
It would be years later before I learned there were TWO seperate jobs on that road. I faithfully followed directions to the FIRST job. With concrete made for curbing not for foundation. At that time years later they dug out the old flawed weak foundation and repoured the new. Unfortunately it's pretty important near that corner under the steeple.
Even today I keep a eye on those bricks. There is about 400 people attending services regularly and it will break my heart to see it fail. But the company gave me the directions and that was flawed of them in the root cause so I was not at fault.
That is why I require as much information about the situation in town before I get there and what's in my truck. Bad things happen when people don't tell me ####. He's just a drivah. Worse he wont listen, he's deaf. (BS...) and so on. It's amazing how discriminatory attitudes put 400 people at risk years later. But those bricks over the foundation tell me that the church is in spite of the royal screwup doing pretty good.
I still enjoyed the work more or less with a grain of salt because the yankees back home never bothered to give me the same oppertunity as the Johnnys down here did. -

Most “Employee Manuals” have language of questionable material somewhere in them. And at some point in orientation or hire date you must sign for “receipt and acknowledgment” of the employee manual. It just gives the employer some protection and options when things go awry with an employee as they inevitably will.

The courts have nullified a lot of these agreements, just as they have nullified a lot of these asinine non-compete agreements. -
