^_- Now I'm interested. You know what her uncle's name is?

 

naw man it was over a year ago and that bitch was crazy so i deleted all contacts that had to do with her if i think of it ill let you know

 

Ahh, alright.

I think I could narrow down the choices for ya haha but it'll take a bit of a read on your part.

We work on a "level system" ranging from level 10 to level 1, with level 1 being the highest. If you come in and fail your weld test, and 98% of people do, if you're hired you start at level 10. If you're one of the lucky 2% then you start at a level 8. I believe the current rate for a level 8 is right around $15/hour.


After you leave the welding school you go on to first shift for a month to train on the floor. After that month you go to third shift and recieve a $.75 raise. In two more months you get your 90 day evaluation and hopefully get bumped up a level. Best case scenerio at this point is a level 7 and being on third shift you would be making right around $17/hour.

The next evaluation comes at your 1 year mark. Hopefully you get bumped another level. At this point level 6 the best a "normal" (I say normal because I'm a part of Liebherr's first apprenticeship program and these rules dont really apply to me) employee could hope for.

I've been working for Liebherr for a year and nine months and I am a level 4. I make over $20/hour currently but this would not be possible if I wasn't an apprentice or otherwise had a MAJOR hook up.


I personally know every person involved with the hiring process at Liebherr, and I know only one person has any part of what you make. However, he is only involved with what you start at and again, best case scenerio you start at a level 8.

After that there are only 2 people who can affect your pay rate. The first shift and third shift supervisors.


Im assuming her uncle would have to be one of those two men.

1st shift supervisor- Jimmy Phitzmeyer (im totally mis-spelling here)
3rd shift supervisor- Evrett Brazzier (again SP?)

Edit- Id like to add that I'm absolutely NOT trying to discredit your statement here. It would just be shitty of either one of them, ya know?

 

i hear what youre saying man but im 27 and have been welding for a long time now. I know for a fact her uncle wasnt any of the guys you listed. And one of the main reasons why he was gonna pay me that much is because thats what i make now and i wasnt gonna take a pay cut. He would have gave me a dollar more than what im making for the night differential but i wasnt going to do that for a least a year

 

Lol that's nuts. His name wasn't Herbert by chance? That's just about the only way I could see that that haha. From what I hear he was a crazy SOB. He got sick about a week after I started and I never got to meet him, though.

 

Today's weather was pretty decent. Not too humid, not too dry. I thought it was great. Some of my customers thought I was crazy because I had a truck with ac and wasn't using it. It felt like home in late July/early August, just not as dry. It was a good day to be outside.

 

You are crazy HAHA it was ******* tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooo HOT. Who has a blue coupe SS with a ZZP front mount? or heat exchanger w.e the hell

 

Cant support that I felt like a slice of butter melting over a big ol' pile of flapjacks!

 

Keep in mind that Salt Lake City is considered a high desert. Ironic since my license plates say Greatest Snow On Earth. I'm used to these temps with 3-4% humidity. That's drier than the Sahara Desert, the driest place on Earth. Today we were only about 35-39% humidity. Yes, I was watching. Environmental Science is fun to me, and one of the merit badges I got in Boy Scouts.

 

^^^ niiice haha. I measure how hot it is by how long it takes my buddy at work to pass out. It's not an exact science but it's more fun.

 

That does sound fun.

 

yah salt lake afghanistan is hot as ****... kuwait is 130+ right now soo i got you all beat lol.. heat index here is round 120-125

 

^^^^^^ hahahahhahaaha

Warren, do you have a strut tower bar? I found that having one helps reduce the chance of a rock chip turning into a big crack.
