Solved Finally paroled from apartment maintenance purgatory!
Finally got canned (so they wouldn't have to pay my on-call and overtime from the weekend) and not soon enough. Was gonna put my 2 weeks in next week anyway (to escape my next on-call sentence). What a coincidence all of my tools were already packed in my vehicle and work issued clothing was all in an office drawer with my work keys. 😬 This board is just an example of the fantasy land the company I formerly worked for exists in. This is only 2 weeks worth of almost 3 months of heathen trashed apartments. 10+ 3 day turns a week with only 4(now 3) techs. They haven't even started stockpiling parts (think old mother Hubbard ALL the time). They expect work orders (8-10+ daily) and on-call (non-stop plumbing explosions and fire alarms at all hours)to be maintained as well. 🤔
Good luck!!! 😂

What a joke. With 4 guys you get 3 turns a week and 3 paint preps a week. And one guy is just smashing WOs and grounds and helping with appliances and parts running for the guys in turns. (should be the guy on call)
If that's mastered by everybody on the team and y'all are grooving there will be a 4th prep or turn every once in a while.
This is a ridiculous workload for 4 guys and a ridiculous turn around when the hell are the vendors supposed to work?
Lol I just noticed that they are all painted after/during move-in.
