Spare time
on: November 17, 2023, 11:49:00 PM
Well this day stinks, got information that we will get layoffs cause our job site was cancelled due financical reason. That means around 90% of employees get it, rest who did not get it are on seperate small sites as rentworkers and continue working as normal, well now i have some more spare time to spend. Our next project wont start until january so its kinda vacation now next 1,5 months.
Layoffs started immidieatly but we get paid for next two weeks. We got these warnings on summer allready that we might got layoffs but we had site unfinished and new site ( got cancelled now) was meant to begin this week.
I wondered whole week why we didnt go to that new site on Monday (only our boss knew why and didnt tell us until today), instead we all (except those who went vacation) were called to warehouse to fix and clean our barracks what we transfer to site to site, also we made inventory our tools and materials.
Luckily they didnt fire us but we will see on january does our layoffs continue.
If that big construction site also get cancelled i might look other jobs.

True, i just kinda hope that our company wont go bankcruptcy like many other has gone. Past 6 months many large construction companys has gone bankcruptcy, there isnt so much demand on building now.
But i was allready kinda prepared for these layoffs since we got warnings.
Im gonna enjoy my long vacation now, union will pay after 2 weeks our salaries so im not financially worried this vacation and now i have much spare time to do things i have postponed.

Never a good feeling.  It was nice you all got a warning so there could be some planning.  Great you are not fired.  Every year I'm slow from Jan-Mar at which time I do a lot around the house and for myself.  Might be a good time for you to take care of you and things that get postponed? 

It'll be some security getting paid all the while.  Whatever you do enjoy the time off and rest your body.  Good things on the horizon.

Sorry to hear about that.

Back at the beginning of 2021, about 1100 of us got let go.  I got lucky in that I got asked to go to the 3rd party contractor that the company had hired, but benefits were not the greatest which really hurt because we were just coming out of the tail end of my wife's successful cancer treatments.

Six months later I landed at a better company with better pay and great benefits.

Keep your chin up and enjoy the vacation while you can.  You never know when a better opportunity might come your way.

Cheers!

I've read this thread several times and always meant to reply but haven't because I was on my phone and I wanted to say something a bit more involved than my thumbs would be comfortable with!

I'm sorry to hear that this is affecting you.  I have a feeling that I am going to be in a similar situation in the next year or two- we currently have a government that spends a lot, but they have been in power since 2015, and I imagine they are going to be voted out in the next election, replaced by the party that cuts funding to pay for all of the spending by the previous guys.  We have a lot of different parties here, but we only ever elect one of the two main ones- the spenders and the payers.   :facepalm:

This isn't a political post as both parties are comprised entirely of people who have never actually worked a day in their lives and live parasitically off the people who do.

I hope you manage to get back n your feet quickly- construction is fortunately one of those industries that doesn't stay down for long.  I have been working as a government construction inspector for the Department of Highways for the past 4 years and we have been working a minimum of 12 hour days five or six days a week for the past two and a half years, and I would welcome a break and a bit of downsizing right now!   :ahhh

If I may ask, what do you do in Construction?

Thank you everyone for kind and supportive words it really means to me to talk place where i feel like home.
I work construction as handyman, i do bit everything usually im at first group to start and last group to leave at construction sites. I do also rough cleaning, install doors, ceilings, concrete jobs, drilling and filling walls, floors and ceilings after plumbers, electricians and hvac does their installations. So i do bit everything.
I know that there is also other workplaces but i really enjoy working with our team and hope we can continue working january, what i have now heard this week some of our team changed workplace to another. Construction has lot of layoffs past year but there is allways something to do, i just may relocate myself to another city, it tho means longer worktrips but im kinda use to it to drive longer for jobsites.
But now im just gonna enjoy my freetime and not stress about work cause i know there is allways jobs for handymans.

That's the right way to look at it!

Heck, if you wanted to spend Christmas in Canada I could use some help rebuilding the apartment in my basement that was flooded over the summer!

Companies here simply can't hire enough people to handle the demand for trades people like you.

That sounds tempting, but sadly we have family christmas on my brothers place, whole family gathers rarely together (usually someone is missing) and now we have planned to meet whole family now that everyone has change to join.

 we currently have a government that spends a lot, but they have been in power since 2015, and I imagine they are going to be voted out in the next election, replaced by the party that cuts funding to pay for all of the spending by the previous guys.  We have a lot of different parties here, but we only ever elect one of the two main ones- the spenders and the payers.   :facepalm:

This isn't a political post as both parties are comprised entirely of people who have never actually worked a day in their lives and live parasitically off the people who do.

Wow! When did you move to Portugal, Boss?! We need to have lunch sometime, I'll show you around.

Thank you everyone for kind and supportive words it really means to me to talk place where i feel like home.
I work construction as handyman, i do bit everything usually im at first group to start and last group to leave at construction sites. I do also rough cleaning, install doors, ceilings, concrete jobs, drilling and filling walls, floors and ceilings after plumbers, electricians and hvac does their installations. So i do bit everything.
I know that there is also other workplaces but i really enjoy working with our team and hope we can continue working january, what i have now heard this week some of our team changed workplace to another. Construction has lot of layoffs past year but there is allways something to do, i just may relocate myself to another city, it tho means longer worktrips but im kinda use to it to drive longer for jobsites.
But now im just gonna enjoy my freetime and not stress about work cause i know there is allways jobs for handymans.


Only Tools Matters
Sounds like you won't have a problem finding a place to work. Maybe you can even get together with some members of your team and form a crew to work together in different places, wherever and whenever you're needed, kinda like the A-Team.
