Plant workers also get their feelings hurt that there are lots of people who don't work shift work or OT and make more money with the same or better benefits

Everyone that I personally know who makes more money than me works very hard for it. They earned it. They deserve it. But none of those cases involve 36-40 hours a week. None. Most of them actually include 8+ years of college, $200k+ debt, and thousands of hours worked beyond the 9-5 that aren’t even classified as overtime bc they are paid salary.

Unless your name is Elon Musk, there is someone out there making more money than you while working less. The same argument you have against plant workers, someone else could come in and have against you and whatever tf you do.

The equation doesn’t reconcile

It doesn't reconcile because we have established, through you admitting, that you live in a world where great men don't exist.

Some of us live in a world where men accomplish these things that you think cannot be done.

So you’re right, being a plant baw ain’t for me

Yes, we can tell.

Congrats on your F-250 though

The congrats thing is really funny I love how you do it over and over again

What world do you live in?

What is normal to me may not be normal to you, I understand that. Like I said, it isn't for everyone.

Why would I work more for less money?

No one works more for less money.

I'm not familiar with any of the specific personalities of TD whatsoever, but I have a feeling you have already been deemed a certified clown.

Strong men provide in abundance and raise their family--you can do both. If you choose to only work 36-40 hours a week then that's on you.

The guys working these crazy overtime hours aren't absent fathers. They are working a 12 hour night shift commuting an hour each way and then fully functioning on 2-3 hours sleep helping get kids ready for school, dropping off, picking up, extracurriculars--the whole thing. I work with about 50 of them. It isn't for everyone, definitely sounds like it isn't for you--and that's fine. Jesus still loves you even though you aren't a hard worker.

Look at every great man in American history--they all worked their asses off. It's really what separates America from every other country in the world. We work hard, and we are proud of it. Most of us at least. Trending the other direction these days sadly.

Maybe intro-pay

But LULZ after that

I make $54/hr as a CCR operator at a major company along the river. Just got my last check for the year and my annual gross was $190k. I have 11 years experience and am at top pay, which increases ~2% each year as an inflation adjustment. A very close relative is also an engineer here with many years of experience as well. I made about 50% more than him.

Now obviously if you take some senior engineer 30 years into his career (The field itself doesn't really have a ceiling in some cases), he could definitely be making more. But on average and overwhelmingly so, an operator is financially taking care of his family significantly more.

I can't say this for a fact, but I'm pretty sure most of our production crew made more than the actual plant manager, whom is also an engineer LSU grad himself.

Also, ask me anything :cheers:

My kids love it--but they aren't too big on keeping stuff sealed :lol:

That said, I have managed to stash away one of every PC ETB of the S&V era through most recent set and also a few booster boxes here and there. Looking at historical trends, they should all be worth at least $1k each by the time my kids start college so that's cool. Hell a lot of them are in the $500 range right now.

Sorry for having the ability to look around and ahead instead of only what is right in front of my face.

Hey man, we have almost the exact same number of posts--pretty cool

I just ordered two of the Segway ones for kids. Top speed of 10mph so really not worried about much on the safety side of it

They didn't call Kenny Pickett down when he did that fake slide and ran for a TD a few years ago.

Did they change the rule BECAUSE of that?
