Construction is a whole other animal than office jobs. Way more upfront blatant hostility but also it gets resolved faster. At my first office job after years of construction, my manager came up and told me that my work was sloppy and I needed to perform better. Sounded about right, but my coworker started whispering to me like "hey man are you ok? that was pretty brutal" Really? Last year in a trade meeting a superintendent threw his phone at me. His landline phone.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
The flipside of that is that because you can't just tell someone you'll meet them outside, it can be years of passive aggressive bullshit, which I find way worse. The only job I've ever quit on bad terms was where the owner was an overbearing micromanager who would slide little jabs in to everything. Turnover was crazy there because of him, so they had me sign a 2 year contract and after a year I told them to sue me and left. Should have known the contract for a salaried full time position was a red flag
