Does this job involve a van, travel to distant states, and selling baked goods in Target parking lots?

He’ll just have to work though it. He is lucky. I hear Coastal Bridge is a great place to work.

He should tell his boss that, yeah he may be only worth $18 an hour but that certificate is worth another $12.

Very rarely circumstances might justify this but for the most part a company that doesn't make allowance for a new hire to give notice at his old job is a company you want no part of. Huge red flag.

Sounds like he is a field hand who can't work his tools.

This. My guess is he was hired at one job and wasn’t able to perform the expected duties, so they demoted him to another position. But he didn’t want to tell his wife.

If he stays til the end of summer he’ll get paid for the full 30
Just keep pressing the button and yelling “no running”

Story makes no sense.

Sounds like the NFL but the money is too low

It happens.
Sounds like he got a crane certificate but never used it and couldn't operate after advertising he could. They knocked him down from top pay / demoted until he could.
We've done that when I was in construction with mechanics who were hired but couldn't perform at top pay. They became B mechanics. Especially on turn around. You zneed to staff up and get a pile of people who went to ABC school or are NCCER certified but couldn't do the actual work.
You keep em on as it's hard to get people and train them if trainable and boost them up as merit deems.

He couldn’t perform the job he signed up to do. Pretty obvious

Who gets a performance review on the first day? First week maybe.
That's insane.

Unless the employee was not able to perform duties of the contract.
After reading the thread. My guess is he was hired as a heavy crane operator. No way a tower crane because they make more than$30 & many heavy crane operators do too. It sounds like he didn't pass their in house tests. Then got a different job title. He's likely a spotter or involved in setting up the crane. No one is operating cranes for $18.

I suggest he not lie about his skills next time he tries to find a new job. Is he a C class pipe fitter who took a job as a foreman, but can barely read isometrics?
