[LogOutBrah]

can you even afford to buy a red bull?

[FingerNailsBrah]

You mean nos

[zhengterry]

Suppose to get 10 days sick pay and the rest I'll take a hit on. Feel like absolute crap lately, muscles sore as heck.

To answer your question op, I buy 3 rockstar thermos for 5 bucks.

[aeons]

Hey dip****, you shut your c0ck holster. We tradies are essential.

[devin45k]

Most tradies are still working

[snapple13]

all tradies are working in Canada lol

[iwant2beswole]

Tradies don’t drink Red Bull

Monster cans are the obvious more fluid oz per dollar so they would always pick monster over it

[THATSfunnyOP]

Canadian trade checking in .

Working my job and my side gig still.

Winning

[JurassicPakBrah]

all tradies are working in Canada lol

Not in Quebec

[AlwaysFocus]

all tradies are working in Canada lol

this

i can work any shift any day

traffic is the GOAT right now

brb 138km/hr on the freeway (140= impound) no cars in front of me at all at night. I actually love it srs

[AlwaysFocus]

Not in Quebec

Quebec is an example of what happens when you dont stay home and social distance breh

[dogorman7]

Too many variables.

The electric company I was working with laid everyone off for Atleast two weeks.

Tesla was one of our major customers and didn’t want to pay us so we came back to San Diego.

We have a few commercial jobs but I don’t know if they’re essiental infrastructure.

The gayest thing is all the state and national parks are closed so I’d rather just be working.

I was gonna roadtrip and hit some nice topography hotspots after getting laid off because I had money stacked but with all the parks closed I can’t . ****ing gay.

[2RDEYE]

tradies already have PPE unlike the dumb**** rest of the country. when i was a tradie respirator gloves and goggles all day everyday. and my signature knee pads

[dogorman7]

Just want to add I’m also just an apprentice so finding work will be much more difficult for me than a licensed journeyman.

If you’re an electrician you should be fine , side work from work clients at worse.

It’s a really tough time to be an apprentice now though , lmao I’m ****ed

[exxtracool]

You mean nos

yo NOS is the goat.

[propreffered7]

most tradies are prob working tbh. brb people in isolation = less clogged toilets/ drains? no. can people go long without a/c? no. go long without electricity? no.

some of those prob increased with everybody inside

construction prob slowed down a bit but not fully outright

oil industry prob not.

pipefitters and welders maybe

[Anachron]

99% of the tradies are working as they are classified "essential".

[LogOutBrah]

Hey dip****, you shut your c0ck holster. We tradies are essential.

why so mad brah? is it because you look like this?

[2RDEYE]

my old company actually started hiring more, think they are creating some sort of medical technology

[dogorman7]

Do they have any branches in the states ? Are they hiring apprentice electricians ?

[2RDEYE]

GEA vaccination centrifuge package with fully automatic SIP (Sterilizing-In-Place). Steam-sterilizable and completely sealed, designed for maximum biosafety and containment. (Photo: GEA/Tim Luhmann)

u could contact the GEA closest to you, that's how i got my job before. HR person emailed me back, had to send my references, and boom interview

[daedalus13]

That photo is beautiful and I would love to hike there, OP is being his usual dink self posting nothing but garbage since he has nothing positive going on in his life. OP, your words are a reflection of your current state of mind, I seriously hope you can improve your life situation.

why so mad brah? is it because you look like this?

As for me, I'm a Canadian tradie who's still working with plenty of work ahead of me, if something were to happen though I've prepared for time off so I'll be good.

[S0Jack3d]

I registered to work odd jobs on Handy (handyman app) Im getting fludded with job request from people. So if anyone needs money and you own some tools and a car, you can make some quick cash. Most jobs pay $100+

[Suit]

Changed my tradie industry to one that had to shut down cuz the virus. whoops.

Shoulda stayed where I was, hindsight 2020.

Still got my side-gigs.

[MillerDecaXC]

Tradie checking in, still on par to make $130k-ish this year. I Don't drink energy drinks but i can still afford my k-cups for coffee. Since the stock market crashed, I added $7000 to my 401k, $6000 to my Roth IRA, and $22,000 to my trading account. Going to lose around $35,000 this year on my 2 beach rentals, but my 4 local rentals are still paying rent on time. Might have to push my retirement back to 38-39 instead of the planned 36-37 but ill live.

How's your white collar job OP?

[moosik85]

Mirin work ethic. Which trades you in brah?

[SwagMorris]

Out of work. But I have enough in savings to last about a year, and wife still working. We only need one of our incomes, for the most point.

All in all, enjoying my time off. Getting a lot of stuff done around the house.
