It doesn’t always work but it doesn’t always not work either… besides you’re already 10 minutes late. Might as well make it 30 and have a fighting chance.
You were born a pussy. Too late. Also something about font but at this point I’m too afraid to ask…I was too busy actually *WORKING* today 💪
JK my job got postponed and I spent all day drinking and playing drums
# YOLO
They say smart and lazy is the best combination for leadership
“I distinguish four types. There are clever, hardworking, stupid, and lazy officers. Usually two characteristics are combined. Some are clever and hardworking; their place is the General Staff. The next ones are stupid and lazy; they make up 90 percent of every army and are suited to routine duties. Anyone who is both clever and lazy is qualified for the highest leadership duties, because he possesses the mental clarity and strength of nerve necessary for difficult decisions. One must beware of anyone who is both stupid and hardworking; he must not be entrusted with any responsibility because he will always only cause damage.”
I don't think "genius" is how my foreman would describe me. As far as he's concerned, I don't even know how to use a shovel... even though the utility was exactly where I started digging today before he took the shovel from me and proceeded to dig for a half hour in the wrong place, in the wrong direction. But, what do I know? I'm just a neck down laborer.
It's a first impression type of thing. You can never fix it. When you are introduced to the crew, immediately punch the largest one. Should be good from there.
Too late, already considered one. It's an unwritten rule that you only hire pussies in construction. That's why every new guy is always one as soon as they get the job and until proven otherwise.
At lunch time, go to the GC’s trailer and take an enormous dump in their bathroom. Afterwards, use their microwave to nuke a burrito. If they say anything to you, ignore them. If they persist, show them your genitals and make grunting sounds.
As already said, you’re a p*ssy for asking that question. Can already tell you, you won’t hack it in the trades.
But to answer your question, you literally have hours, not weeks. Your first impression on any site will last the rest of your career.
It’s eternal, unless you do something crazy. I’ve been doing carpentry years and my co workers and I still rib each other about being soft. Except for one guy who’s a tank and could probably kill us all without thinking about it. Even if we call him a wimp we all know we’re only alive due to his good nature.
The real interview is the first 90 days of your employment. That is the timeframe that they can fire you without cause. You have 90 days to prove that you're a competent hard worker who can get along with everyone.
You could “prove” that you’re not a pussy for years, then do something that shows you really are and everyone will know you’ve been faking it the whole time. Just don’t be a pussy and you won’t get in that situation. Some people are and some people aren’t. If it takes effort and a change in your mindset to prove you’re not, then you really are, unfortunately.
To some extent, about half a day. Which will extend as far as a week if needed, but seldomly changes. If you've proven to be somebody worth keeping, the next judgement will come in about a month. Just be eager to learn, stay busy, and look for work when you don't have any. Don't be scared to ask questions, just remember the answers. Show a good work ethic, act like you want to be there, show up on time everyday, and don't be too eager to leave. The bar is lower than ever these days, if you want to work and learn, you'll do fine. Also don't lose sight of the value of what you'll be learning, the wage isn't all you're taking home.
Depends on your font preferences.
My company is more Arial Black but I know some are Times New Roman. Ask your Superintendent asap
Font size is what the girls care about, not font type.
The key to not getting fired is using a THREE point non puss font
Just not papyrus
You have to use Comic Papyrus to truly exert dominance.
Wingdings being the exception here.
The guys talking about typefaces on a construction job are def the big pussies
Hey, only real constructioners can talk fonts!
Im more of a Comic Sans guy
You’re all pussies. As longs as it’s in italics, the font doesn’t matter
Already a pussy posting here
Thank you
Depends on how many pairs a pants ur ass chew thru in a week
Could be a day or 30 years. Just depends on how much of a pussy you are.
Um, I know by lunch time with a new guy
You eat their lunch? Good test.
I eat their ass. It’s the one way to know for sure.
Judging by that font. It's not looking good.
How are people getting different fonts? I only ever see the one
Same. Probably because we are on Reddit mobile app?
Ahhh thank you I thought I was having a stroke , font size WTF are these guys on about 🤣
Until the next new guy starts
This is the only answer ☝️
Anything past 3 weeks I'd say
Yeah. And don't be slow either.
Bring donuts. Guys will like you when you bring donuts.
It doesn’t always work but it doesn’t always not work either… besides you’re already 10 minutes late. Might as well make it 30 and have a fighting chance.
60% of the time, it works 100% of the time.
Apprenticeship is all about being the donut.
You will get a second, and maybe even a third date ;0
He called you slow OP!
C'mon, man...that's not even enough time to gauge my attitude or work ethic.
What about your morals?!
Long time for a period.
C'mon, man...that's not even enough time to gauge my attitude or work ethic.
Yeah, 3 weeks seems to be the right amount these days
You were born a pussy. Too late. Also something about font but at this point I’m too afraid to ask…I was too busy actually *WORKING* today 💪 JK my job got postponed and I spent all day drinking and playing drums # YOLO
I don’t wanna work. I just wanna bang on the drums all day
Playing "drums" on someone's cheeks?
You know it
Sounds magical.
I'm on year 7 and still haven't proved I'm not a dumbass and a pussy. At this point, maybe I'm a dumbass pussy?
Or a lazy genius
Guilty

We know the truth and someday your foreman will get it.
Typical OSHA rep.
Marry your bosses wife, assert dominance.
You need to stab a guy on your first day. Or is that prison.... I'll get back to you.
You can't prove it Pussy
It's a first impression type of thing. You can never fix it. When you are introduced to the crew, immediately punch the largest one. Should be good from there.
1-3 weeks, give or take, Possibly more. All depends on the peach you’re packin’ 🍑
Too late, already considered one. It's an unwritten rule that you only hire pussies in construction. That's why every new guy is always one as soon as they get the job and until proven otherwise.
I’d say about 3 weeks there lmfao!!
Are you a comic sans kinda guy?!?
Bout’ 3
None, you just proved you are one with this post
That never ends.
At lunch time, go to the GC’s trailer and take an enormous dump in their bathroom. Afterwards, use their microwave to nuke a burrito. If they say anything to you, ignore them. If they persist, show them your genitals and make grunting sounds.
It's Thursday evening here. If you started this week you are 4 days past that point.
It depends how much asbestos and loose rebar we have on hand.
What if you already are a pussy?
As already said, you’re a p*ssy for asking that question. Can already tell you, you won’t hack it in the trades. But to answer your question, you literally have hours, not weeks. Your first impression on any site will last the rest of your career.
Dude came in here to vent and yall are just a bunch if animals. Miserable fucks.
Even though it shows “HUMOR” in his title right? Now who’s miserable? Lol
Not referring to this post....
If you gotta ask, you're a pussy
The first week will give everyone enough ammo to take the piss for the rest of the year
This is by far the best reply so far lol
If you’re not a pussy you won’t have to “prove” shit. The guys around you will just know.
What others think about you is none of your business.
Dude that is a great lesson actually
It’s eternal, unless you do something crazy. I’ve been doing carpentry years and my co workers and I still rib each other about being soft.

Rest of your living life haha
Only a pussy has to ask. Stay stocked up on tampons.
Lifetimes worth
18 minutes.
When you go pick up a hammer, immediately drop it and start rubbing your hands. Auto respect from everyone.
We’ll know by tomorrow at 3:30.
Someone has to go Fridays are the best.
Until retirement
Everybody likes a good cat.
Ever watch a cat fall into a big pour and just watch in drown in the form because time is money? Yeah me neither.👀
Its a road with no end. Its kind of the point of manhood unless you sit when you pee.
More weeks than you'll end up working there. Unless you work hard, hustle, and listen. Then only one more week than you'll end up working there.
3 weeks tops and depends what trade
The fact u asked just added 2 more
I’d say about 3
3 weeks
One.
Cette page est entrée dans le surréaliste aujourd’hui
A year !
If you have to ask....
About 10 minutes….
You are what you eat.
You have 3 weeks. And the GC’s guys better like you
520 weeks.
You have one day bro. One day and I can tell if your gonna be a burden or an asset.
Forever
If you have to ask…
Can you read Wingdings?
Have you glued a bit into a wire nut?
Tree fitty
Were you not asked in the interview process? I'd worry about your new job if not, probably a whole company of pussies
30 min
Infinity weeks
Its already too late.
I see your attempt at humor. Try being funnier.
Being a man is a full-time job. The real question is how long can you go before you proven that you ARE a pussy.
603 weeks might do it
Dunno. How's your ass?
You'll have till morning coffee break, at the most!
Don't prove anything...go there to learn and work a steady pace. Anything else will destroy your body.
Spaze out on someone and tell them “I ain’t no bit**” and put a screw face .. trust me they would know
The real interview is the first 90 days of your employment. That is the timeframe that they can fire you without cause. You have 90 days to prove that you're a competent hard worker who can get along with everyone.
Just do your job and don’t be a twat, banter is top tier on site. There will always be other twats though.
Just do your job efficiently and without complaining. Even if you are a pussy, you'll trick everybody easily.
It’s actually a test, when the boss calls you a pussy, go straight for the knees
If you waited longer than a day, its already too late….
All of them lol
It is assumed you are a pussy until proven otherwise.
My advice would be go find the Squirrel Master. He’s the only man on the inside that will protect you…
You could “prove” that you’re not a pussy for years, then do something that shows you really are and everyone will know you’ve been faking it the whole time. Just don’t be a pussy and you won’t get in that situation. Some people are and some people aren’t. If it takes effort and a change in your mindset to prove you’re not, then you really are, unfortunately.
Yeah, between the user name and this question, way too late.
When you can hold your own and don’t need direction every 5 minutes while on the job
With that concern you’ll prolly be a lifelong commit. Weeks? Just become an electrician.
For your entire life buddy.
Don't try to prove you're not a pussy, just don't be one and you'll be fine

If you have to ask...
Go fuck yourself and find out.
Any company where you have to do this in the first place is a horrible one.
