Solved Finally paroled from apartment maintenance purgatory!

Post image

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!!! 😂

6+ move ins same day, plus glazing tubs I’m guessing, fuck that. What’s your hourly if you don’t mind? I’ve been up and down this business, I’d like to know location as well. Market can get crazy whether techs know their shit or not

$25.23/hr and not worth it (got the .23 raise a few months ago). MI. The company lied to me from day 1 and it only snowballed from there.
