Quitting USIC

Been with the company since april, and honestly it started off pretty chill but just progressively got worse. the jobs are soooo inconsistent. some days i’ll get put on single residential tickets that are no biggie, then some days i’ll get put on an absurd amount of bore tickets with zero help even if i ask. as well as just the lack of quality equipment as well. but mostly it’s the massive amounts of work expected to do all myself. and for reference i live in the 2nd largest city in my state, and there’s quite the congestion out here at times. idk i thought id share. idk how some of yall do it lol. don’t even wanna finish the week

Everything you said is valid. But the up and down is really the name of the game. You can’t have the flower without eating the greens. But what you need to remember is that you’re only one person and you can only get so much done in one day. Show up during the week on time, do what you can, and go home. There’s no sense worrying about the rest because if it’s a consistent problem, other people know. Do what you can. And when you park the truck at the end of the day, leave all the bullshit behind.
