This is 99.9% spot on. The one thing is it's not the 20 year old equipment it's user error after having used everyday for 20 years. You're right there is no way I would know how this thing works. Lol.
@@xxx0ox0 and half the time the journeymen are stuck helping the apprentices do their job and as annoying as it is we all know it’s more the companies fault and not necessarily the apprentices.
It's also a question of how much apprentices care. My company has some apprentices who pick up quickly and get good at the job, and others who are close to applying for license exams despite still being basically day 1 apprentices in reality. As far as my apprenticeship, I basically just got "I'll show you this once, don't screw it up or I'm kicking you off the job," and boy did it work lol
We usually just fight where no one can see us. Don't ask, don't tell, nobody saw anything. How did you get hurt the bossman asks? ON the job tripping over something of course!
I have never dropped you a line before. Way past due. You are one of my favorite YT subscriptions. ❤ We usually watch you on TV. You are fricking hilarious as is your buddy! I get a kick out of your pull tab investing. And your buddy calling the corrugated metal on the bar wall “insiding” about split our guts. 😂 Love your fun T-shirts & funny personality! More bar scenes please! (I bartended for 15 years in my former life.) Hubby & I never go anymore but sure fun to watch you & your buds. We would have been buds had you been my patron. No doubt. 😊 You betcha! Yeah! ❤🎉
Truest vid on YT. Load the generator in the truck when it's dark in the AM. Roll out by the time the sun comes up. If the roach coach dosen't show up you starve all day. Roll up before you can't see you hand in front of your face. Stop for 18 hot wings a half pound of curly fries an 2 personal pitchers of beer on the way home. Once home start the laundry for work the next day. Some liquor shots of choice in the shower. Wake up in 5 hours, or 4 hours and 45 mins if you gotta get gas so you're not late. Saturdays are mandatory. You think you're making money, but it all goes to bills and the only reason you have any "extra cash" is you do nothing and have no time to spend money. If you sleep in on Sunday, you gotta be in bed in 12 hours. The American Dream. Only vacation you get is quitting and hoping you find a new gig before you loose everything. Suppose you could always work at a grocery store on sunday for some more "extra cash" Unreal.
Took me a long time to realize we are nothing but a number, before I retired every job I had kept promoting me and giving me raises, until one day a new hire told me what he was hired in at, and it was the same pay it took me years to work up to,...
I'm an electrician... Owners REFUSE to buy a powered crimper... Insist we use the old hand pump Burndy even though it takes 3x as long... And destroys your elbows. But they saved enough money to buy new pickups for themselves.
My family has many construction workers. I laughed so hard at this. Subscribed about a minute in. Just realized how much my husband appreciates me making his lunches. Great job on this video 👍👍
The old equipment reminds me of some of the machines we use at work. We've got a thirty year old machine where the lettering for the functions of the various switches and buttons have long since worn off and every 6 months or so they have to go back and write in sharpie what they do for new hires so they don't fuck anything up. Could they just install a new operator panel for the machine? Of course. Do they? Of course not.
And I especially love it when you have been doing something the exact same way for the last 15 years and the boss walks in trying to be a hero and says…"Here son, let me show you how to do it"…..and then you say, that’s exactly how i have always done it!…. And he says ,,Yeah sure thing squirt, just do it the way i just showed you…… omg
Well played, more people need to see and understand this! I work in an office environment at an engineering firm. In particular the part about working late and not worrying about your son's basketball game is spot on! At your funeral no-one is going to remember that you came in on Saturday to get the job done.
1:32 this hit hard 😂 can’t tell you how many times I had to redo my ductwork, because bossman and/or the GC says its in the way of the electricians, even tho it belongs there anyways and we set our stuff up while the electricians were on their 3rd lunch break 🤦♂️😂
I just started this and it is so relatable. I did my best at work, worked for them for 2 years, and I still got fired all because I wanted to go into EMS instead of continuing to work in construction. They didn't even wait for me to finish school, which was crappy. I am working in EMS now and am planning to go to fire next and I can say this life is so much better than being a carpenter. Edit: This video is so accurate it hurts. Construction/trades is an extremely important career field but dang does everybody that work in trades get treated like crap. It could be worse tho, it was better than my time in the Army, sometimes.
This has been my take at a job I’ve been at. As long as i get paid for the work time, and the company gets paid for the change order i can swap outlets/lights all month lol.
My husband has been a Union sprinklerfitter for a little over 25yrs now & aside from the "yeah, I'd love to work late" and "20yr old tools" i think I've heard them all 😂 Our middle son, who is about to turn 28yrs old, just started his 3rd yr of apprenticeship and is a hard ass worker like my hubby yet he's already feelin' a lot od these 🤣
I started out laughing at this and then realized how its actually just the truth and felt depressed about it
It's sarcasm 😂😂😂😂
Get back to work!!
It hits different when put into sarcasm
This is deadly accurate
Same
hot take: mandated stretching is to find out if anyone is injured before they claim a job site injury...
"20yo equipment isn't the problem, I am" 🤣🤣
i feel attacked when he said " 20 year old equipment isnt the problem, i am! " LOLOL Story of my life !
This is 99.9% spot on. The one thing is it's not the 20 year old equipment it's user error after having used everyday for 20 years. You're right there is no way I would know how this thing works. Lol.
Honestly I do wish more companies would do a better job with training apprentices.
I agree. Where i am at we don't even have aptitude tests anymore helpers or people on the street are just given the job and suck at it

Union do a pretty good job training apprentices most of the time
Surprised construction workers don’t take out their anger on leftover wood
Lumber didn't do anything wrong.... They use the lumber when they're taking out their anger...😂
We usually just fight where no one can see us. Don't ask, don't tell, nobody saw anything. How did you get hurt the bossman asks? ON the job tripping over something of course!
Watching this on lunch eating carrots, 2:00 hits home
They take it home and pile it up in their garage.
0:48 “On my deathbed I’m gonna be grateful that I stayed late at this job.”
You're right boss, arguing with me about how to do something does make it go faster.
Your facial expression throughout the entire video just screams “I hope my boss sees this”
You just said all the thoughts everyone thinks in their head all day long lol
When I was younger I had a choice between a construction and a tree service job. After watching these videos I'm glad I picked the tree service.
Generally in construction you make more, and you get to see fights break out

Yo dawg you can hate but those morning stretches are holding my life together
real

Omg have you been filming the last 23 years of my life🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm the new guy that listens to every word you say... and still does it wrong any way. Right before quitting later that afternoon.
Making your lunch the night before is such a struggle
Took me a long time to realize we are nothing but a number, before I retired every job I had kept promoting me and giving me raises, until one day a new hire told me what he was hired in at, and it was the same pay it took me years to work up to,...
I’m laughing for 2 reasons. It’s both funny and true because this video is a good example of what we want to say to people but don’t.
I work in this industry and man… this is funny as hell!!
I'm a welder and this is still literally spot on lmfao
I'm an electrician... Owners REFUSE to buy a powered crimper... Insist we use the old hand pump Burndy even though it takes 3x as long... And destroys your elbows.
But they saved enough money to buy new pickups for themselves.
20 year old equipment isn't the problem... I am!!
Looking good Miles!
Oh man I burst out laughing so many times, this is spot on and gold!😂😂
That boss be having a lot of windshield time on his hands
This is one of those things that’s funny until you realize how much you relate to it
Growing up in an electrical company business & a side job at a lumber yard this funny shit. Bleep bleepin Bleep! Lol
My family has many construction workers. I laughed so hard at this. Subscribed about a minute in. Just realized how much my husband appreciates me making his lunches. Great job on this video 👍👍
Working for the company is always more important than raising a family... That's construction!
the stretching is great
Working in construction is the reason I work in IT now
20 year old equipment isn't the problem, I am! Hahaha perfect
hay, those morning stretches play an important role in increasing the time on he clock to work competed ratio.
This hits WAY too close to home😂I fucking love this
People say this new generation doesn’t want to work, but is it any surprise when they grew up watching their parents slave away?
This type of worker only comes every 40 years I salute you
This hits home
The old equipment reminds me of some of the machines we use at work.

Fun fact, this is accutare in IT as well.
And I especially love it when you have been doing something the exact same way for the last 15 years and the boss walks in trying to be a hero and says…"Here son, let me show you how to do it"…..and then you say, that’s exactly how i have always done it!…. And he says ,,Yeah sure thing squirt, just do it the way i just showed you…… omg
This is so funny and accurate!!!!! 😂
Some of your best work. Just, simply topical.
Thank you for lols guy. Able to lmao and forget about all the stress, even if it's just for a few minutes
Relatable even for retail/customer service
The first part got me lol
It should be titled “what everyone wants to say on the job site”
This man is a genius
This video is great! Thanks Miles!!
He’s lost so much weight, good for the youbetcha Busch light man
Well played, more people need to see and understand this! I work in an office environment at an engineering firm. In particular the part about working late and not worrying about your son's basketball game is spot on! At your funeral no-one is going to remember that you came in on Saturday to get the job done.
At your funeral No one will remember anything except that five buck you owed them but actually paid them back three times.
And at review time no one remembers your sacrifice either!
@@susancook1448After extra projects I challenged myself to, my review was overall: average 😢
You nailed it!!
I have been a construction worker for almost 2 years.... this stung a bit. Got my sub😂😂😂
This is how the medical field is too.
20 year old equipment isn’t the problem, I am😂😂😂 hell ya💪
You knew this would be funny, I don't think you knew how funny this would be.I 🤣🤣
1:32 this hit hard 😂 can’t tell you how many times I had to redo my ductwork, because bossman and/or the GC says its in the way of the electricians, even tho it belongs there anyways and we set our stuff up while the electricians were on their 3rd lunch break 🤦♂️😂
Basically every blue collar job
Myles is back to posting!!
I'm a galvanizer and this while thing applies.. Literally have seen so many guys start at 6 and not come back from break at 8 lol
SPOT ON 🎯 OH YA YOU BETCHA😂

Jesus Christ I needed this today
tbf. Changing outlet cover's can be time consuming, Free money if you ask me.
This has been my take at a job I’ve been at. As long as i get paid for the work time, and the company gets paid for the change order i can swap outlets/lights all month lol.
So much of this is relatable to healrhcare, too😅🤣
If you have been there. You know. Comedy gold!
“20 year old equipment isn’t the problem - I am.” - This should just be an entire PhD thesis in sociology for labor relations 😂
Other than the stretch routine…. I lived all other scenarios. Aw man, so good
Spot on sadly thanks for pointing out the last 24 years of my life so eloquently though!
100%accurate. 😂
can we get this guy to 1 million subs?
Yup, sounds like every management everywhere! And the workers are the ones who are always overpaid 😂
I'm about to enter my 27th year of remodeling, thanks Miles!!
Well said! Sad but true!
nailed it
Isn’t that what every job expects
Yup perfect
This is gold😂😂
Hysterical and true 😂
Too accurate 😂
I literally lived through every one of them, but 1:32 hits me deep.
Nailed it!
he is 100 % on the nose. and this is coming from a central wisconsin stick builder
That attitud and Mexico have made it very difficult to earn a good living in construction now!!!
I thought we were the only ones that had no idea how to bid
Best thing about construction...
Coming back after work to steal all the discarded lumber
I was always the boss that worked. Got the job done faster that way and we could go home and relax
Lol 😆 🤣 awesome 👌
My husband has been a Union sprinklerfitter for a little over 25yrs now & aside from the "yeah, I'd love to work late" and "20yr old tools" i think I've heard them all 😂
Our middle son, who is about to turn 28yrs old, just started his 3rd yr of apprenticeship and is a hard ass worker like my hubby yet he's already feelin' a lot od these 🤣
union sprinklerfitter,,, wtf, trash.
I relate to a lot of these in my work. Especially the home owner/customer interactions. Just oof.
I can smell the sarcasm from my screen
This was almost too relatable to be funny. 😂
This was way too accurate it pains me. Too good
Freaking hilarious and true
This is how the trades work. Everything he said is true. lol!
I think this relates to everyone 😅
Sooo true!!
Super funny and true every job applies here……
Nailed that
Wow. That was a lot of truth in a short video
