Baw, ill preface this by saying I am not a lineman or anything related to that job, but how can you even put lineman as attention whores? they rush out and work their arse off to try to get everyone their power back so they can go online and complain lol

Covid nurses that are the wives of linemen. The ULTIMATE attention whores.

I know a lot of lineman, they won't do it and have no interest to do it, but their wives will make sure you know how much they do for the country for sure.
In attention whoring on the internet about their job it is a toss up between teachers and nurses. Teachers are pissed this pandemic happened and they can't bitch about their jobs for sure and the nurses have dominated this category for the last year.

How dangerous is your profession? Ever worked in a 500kv substation when everything is “hot”? You ever spend a minute of your working life in the utility industry? I’m certain you haven’t or you wouldn’t pop off shite like this that you have no clue about. No one is ALLOWED to work 24 consecutive hours. Utility companies are some of the most, if not the most, stringent when it comes to safety. Do you think for one second working 24 consecutive hours would be allowed? As someone said earlier, you’re out in the shittiest conditions, many times working energized conductors. You don’t get a second chance when working with this shite. 24 hours without sleep seem reasonable?
In the time I spent at GSU/Entergy we worked several ice storms/hurricanes etc. In those emergency conditions, we typically worked a 16 hour day. All bucket trucks and peripheral equipment was left at a lay down yard and we were bussed back to a hotel, OFF THE CLOCK. Overtime was paid after 40 hours, just like working at home. Unappreciative, spoiled fricks like you should be singled out and have your power restored last.

Nurses

I have 4 or 5 lineman buddies and they literally never bitch about work..they relish the OT.

I haven’t heard a word from electricity linemen, so Covid nurses but they’re a far second compared to teachers. At least nurses have a somewhat shitty and demanding job.

Y’all got some trashy friends. I’m related to or friends, or mutual friends with probably 20 plus teachers and about the same amount of nurses. Other than one teacher just a few years out of college, none of them do look at me post regarding their profession. I only know a few linemen and most don’t have a social media or seldom post.
You’ll typically have your young fresh out of college nurse or teacher who makes those kind of look at me posts but after a few years they usually stop. I’d guess 90% of new grads still stay away from social media or at least post little about their work, maybe y’all need less trashy friends and family

As they should. They’re earning it. And they’re earning it without calling attention to themselves. That makes it worth every penny IMO.

Hiya, I didn't know they had lady linemen?
I appreciate you people, jesus christ, I even said it. I was stating that you aren't doing it to be heroes, you do it to get paid. And you got fricked if you didn't. In the spirit of this board, go eat a dick.

Inflated sense of ego for glorified temperature checkers and arse-wipers. They’re not heroes, they’re just people who couldn’t hack it through Organic Chemistry and were forced into a menial job because med school wasn’t an option.
Get fricked, nurses. You’re not special.
Someone's nurse gf cheated on him and left him

COVID nurses. Without a fricking doubt.

Nurses! It’s the lineman’s significant others that are the attention whoooores

Agree, same goes for the Military...It's a job and none would do it for free.
