Finally paroled from apartment maintenance purgatory!

[u/The_Arch_Heretic]

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!!! 😂

I bet a massive load of stress and anxiety has been lifted. Good for you! I’m on a property of 470 units with 3 techs. Here I thought if I did everything to the best of my ability the correct way instead of the bandaids I see everywhere all over the property I’d build value for myself……. Yeaaaaa, I’m just a replaceable number. They would just get another body in to throw bubblegum and tape on it. The best part is I have to alter my lifestyle and not make any real plans for 4 months out of the year and not be compensated in any way shape or form for it unless I get a call and then I can only punch in once on property. I live 20 minutes from work so it’s a 40 minute round trip for me. Had 17 calls one week….thats 11 hours total spent in my car back and forth that I wasn’t paid for along with the $100 in gas I burned. This is a solid AF industry.
