I just love the deadline, And Ricky is correct, it's set by someone who will never set foot on the job site, And then it's almost unattainable with a full crew, let alone they want you to run with a skeleton crew. And refuse to let you know your working Sunday until 5:45 p.m. on Saturday. And then find out that on the weekends and sometime thru the week, the Forman slips home or at least off the job site at 10am and comes back at 5:30 to make sure no one left early. And then find out as long as someone is working on his crew the Forman, whether he is there or not is getting payed so someone is always working late 7 days a week.
To all you construction workers, taking your Thanksgiving time; I appreciate you taking your time off, as much as I love an empty construction site. Hopefully going to get a jump on filming with these holidays here.
Ya when nobody shows up to work on a holiday, its like a party regardless, practically free money just to show and take a 40 minute shit in the porta john, and fk off the rest of the day
Just want to say, thanks to Ricky, Roscoe, The Boss, and all the folks on the Site. Your vids come in just in time; everytime. Was literally pacing back and forth having potential future arguments stressed off my ass. Did a bump and watch this and now I'm gonna go handle my shit.
I really loved working a job knowing that if I didn't show up to work I wouldn't get fired because no one would replace me. Now I have a job that makes about 5x that and when I want to miss work I can't unless I use PTO. The power you have working a job that no one else wants is something else. I remember listening to a conversation of of supervisor telling someone you will be fired if you don't come in for New Years shift. He said fire me and I'll have a job by the next day. He came in on Jan 3rd, missing his new year shift, and started the day like normal. Wasn't even called in for missing.
There was a lady who asked for time off and her request was denied so she quit. Her quitting shut down her entire town because she had picked up so many responsibilities in her small town in Maine.
If they paid like that every day, I might find more fucks laying around. You’d think an employer would take note that every time there’s an incentive, more fucks magically turn up.
These are hilarious. And I feel for the poor foreman trying to keep these guys organized. But keep putting out funny content like this. By the way, I think I used to work with Ricky.
For every 5 people that retire from the trades only 2 come in to replace them. You may need to remind a boss of those numbers when someone comes to you with a request to work a holiday.
Overtime should not be taxed. This will skyrocket production, happy wife's, and filter out lazy guys from people who really want to work. Plus more money to spend and help the economy. Who's with me? Let's get a president that makes this happen!
Funny thing is at the city I work at we still use a pager style system for the after hours emergencies. Whenever theres a problem the customer calls the emergency number and leaves their phone number then the system sends a page to all the work phones so whoever is on call can call the number to get ahold of the customer.
Always hated working for companies that didn't observe holidays like they don't care about family time it actually helps productivity to give your guys a break every once in awhile let him spend time with their family or do whatever the hell they want and also for deadlines you should have probably planned that in when you noticed hey look it's going to be during Thanksgiving Christmas and all those breaks and right in the middle of deer season which probably is more important
I don't work this Thanksgiving, but I work 24th 25th and 26th of December 36 hours at time and a half plus 24 hours holiday pay. Getting paid 78 hours for working 36 plus night shift differential...2500 bucks for three fuckin days. Plus I will still be awake so I can watch my kid open his presents and I don't have to deal with my family. That's an all around win there.
@@metaldude1085 after 401k Healthcare and all my other dedections which add up to about 20% I still take home 1500 so irs can take there 500 bucks...that I get back in February anyway.
I'm currently at work the night before Thanksgiving. My normal shift is 12 hours but, due to the fact that they're shutting down for the weekend tomorrow morning 2 hours after I usually get off, I'm currently working a 14 hour shift. You best believe that overtime WILL be reflected on my timesheet.

The past few years my shift has worked thanksgiving, well this year the company decided not to, but still needed two people to come in to watch the boiler/building. Instantly volunteered cuz 12 hours triple pay to just sit in the bosses office and watch TH-cam lol.

Which is exactly why I prefer union work lol, they may have strict guidelines and a hard process to get in compared to non-union, but as long as you do your job, and value both your safety and your co-workers safety, you pretty much have every holiday off guranteed by the union, and the only way to coerce you into it would be triple pay or more, but even then an employer cannot force you unlike this vid

LMAO... About Fax machines, I had to work with this one Dingbat who would get an email with 24x36 and 30x42 drawings, then print them out on 8.5x11, then fax them to my office because she hadn't ever heard of forwarding an email. This was in 2018. She asked me if I had gotten her fax, I told her no because I don't accept faxed over drawings to work off of, they're illegible. She went on to tell me how the last guy whom I had replaced would accept them, so I told her, I'm not that guy, I'm me and I won't accept them in that format, I need them in a full sized format, either physical or digital. That's when I found out she didn't know how to forward the drawings. I tried to help her and she made every excuse in the book as to why it was too difficult. Then I offered to get her set up with Dropbox and she said, "I've talked to many other people in our industry about this Dropbox thing, and they all confirmed that it's the most difficult program to use." I told her, "If using modern technology is that difficult for her or anyone else, because forwarding and email and using Dropbox are probably 2 of the easiest things to do and are literally industry standards across many industries and have been for a decade now, but if it's that hard for you to do, maybe it's time you thought about retiring. I don't have the time for your excuses, and pushback. I'm happy to drive across the state to come to your office one day and show you how to do this if necessary, but this is how we're doing business from now on, it's 2018, I'm not accepting reduced and garbled versions of large format drawings. You are welcome to speak with the owner as he's the one who authorized my decisions." She ended up not forwarding projects to me and doing the designs herself and it nearly cost her her job because of how badly she messed up several projects.
When boss man brought up the triple time, it would have been a perfect opportunity for Ricky to ask him "Why the fuck didn't you just lead off this meeting with that and avoid the conversation that you KNEW would result from you telling us we had to work Thanksgiving?"
after working 6 days a week for 2 1/2 years, i decided to take a saturday off to go fishing once. i was told i wasn't being a "team player". i told them if i wasn't a team player after working over time for 2 1/2 years, they could kiss my ass. i'll be going fishing on saturday. they told me if i didn't come in on saturday, don't bother clocking in on monday, as i wouldn't have a job. i went fishing that saturday. monday i came in, punched my card, and waved to the boss, who didn't have jack shit to say. it's rare that i miss time, so when i want to take off, i don't ask permission, ever.
This literally happened to me this year, except it was the Friday before Xmas. I threw a fit at work about it, and then they said triple time, and you bet your ass I was there for the whole 8 hour day.
Our contract has the day after or before a holiday that is on the weekend as holiday pay, as well as the day after Thanksgiving. I’m a sparky working on a Bitcoin mine. Thanksgiving they wanted us to come in Friday because the first phase needs done and started up by January 1, so we said sure, we will work for double time. Not even ten minutes later they come back saying we won’t have work Friday. Hahahaha
Funny thing is I’m not scheduled to work on Thanksgiving and I’m mad about it, the extra money is nice compared to eating the same food I’ve been eating every time the holiday comes around.
I don't usually work Thursdays or Sundays. However, everyone works on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Guess what day Christmas is this year? So I get to work all my regular shifts and both holidays. When I found this out, I was thrilled because that means a little more money will be available to buy some of the stuff I've been wanting lately.
Loved the skit. However, as I get older, I find that I care more about seeing my sisters, brothers, nieces and nephews, than my tax bill likes seeing the overtime. Doesn't help that management gets a 4 day weekend out of it, and doesn't order in food or anything like that. It's treated like any other day, really, unless you work in the admin building.

He should've started the conversation with triple time that would've saved everyone a whole argument
Seriously, they never open the conversation the way they should. Always wait till everyone's all pissed off to announce something like extra pay
Because if no one gripes, then there's no reason to throw a bone.
Exactly. That's in the back pocket, but if nobody gripes about it, you just get holiday pay and they pocket that extra as "management bonuses'
IKR its like the people in management dont understand how these things work WE AINT NO DAMNED FAMILY and i charge to mow my own lawn!
" ...the only thing you gonna for sure be observing is my ass not being here" 😆🤣 so many great one liners here.
He missed the important question. If I work all night without punching out, at what point does the triple pay stop?
Probably midnight - remember it's a combination of overtime and holiday pay.
My job only give 8 hrs holiday pay regardless of the hours I put in
Extra bonus no safety man holiday too 👍🎉
true triple pat got ricky to go in but i really want to see ricky thanksgiving video

About Fax machines, I had to work with this one Dingbat who would get an email with 24x36 and 30x42 drawings, then print them out on 8.5x11, then fax them to my office because she hadn't ever heard of forwarding an email. This was in 2018. She asked me if I had gotten her fax, I told her no because I don't accept faxed over drawings to work off of, they're illegible. She went on to tell me how the last guy whom I had replaced would accept them, so I told her, I'm not that guy, I'm me and I won't accept them in that format, I need them in a full sized format, either physical or digital. That's when I found out she didn't know how to forward the drawings. I tried to help her and she made every excuse in the book as to why it was too difficult. Then I offered to get her set up with Dropbox and she said, "I've talked to many other people in our industry about this Dropbox thing, and they all confirmed that it's the most difficult program to use." I told her, "If using modern technology is that difficult for her or anyone else, because forwarding and email and using Dropbox are probably 2 of the easiest things to do and are literally industry standards across many industries and have been for a decade now, but if it's that hard for you to do, maybe it's time you thought about retiring. I don't have the time for your excuses, and pushback. I'm happy to drive across the state to come to your office one day and show you how to do this if necessary, but this is how we're doing business from now on, it's 2018, I'm not accepting reduced and garbled versions of large format drawings. You are welcome to speak with the owner as he's the one who authorized my decisions." She ended up not forwarding projects to me and doing the designs herself and it nearly cost her her job because of how badly she messed up several projects.
Now all I want to do is fax out of work
After all that I thought for sure boss was going to tell Ricky it really didn’t matter because he wasn’t scheduled for Thanksgiving Day.
I’m already sick😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
oh my god... being the IT guy that handles all of the telecom side including faxes... faxing in your sick day had me rolling on the ground....
When boss man brought up the triple time, it would have been a perfect opportunity for Ricky to ask him "Why the fuck didn't you just lead off this meeting with that and avoid the conversation that you KNEW would result from you telling us we had to work Thanksgiving?"
Lmfao 🤣😂🤣 Roscoe said he always spitting fax😂🤣🤣🤣
I haven't taken a holiday in 35yrs. I'd rather make money, than make nice with people I don't like any other day of the year.
Three times a year?! I never knew Ricky was such a Family man!
Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Ricky is a OG. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
after working 6 days a week for 2 1/2 years, i decided to take a saturday off to go fishing once.
i was told i wasn't being a "team player". i told them if i wasn't a team player after working over time for 2 1/2 years, they could kiss my ass. i'll be going fishing on saturday. they told me if i didn't come in on saturday, don't bother clocking in on monday, as i wouldn't have a job. i went fishing that saturday. monday i came in, punched my card, and waved to the boss, who didn't have jack shit to say. it's rare that i miss time, so when i want to take off, i don't ask permission, ever.
Rickey just proved my point. Everyone has a price.
This is great ,, this is what I work with ,,, 😂😂😂😂
Ricky, speaks 80%. of us workers.😂😂
This literally happened to me this year, except it was the Friday before Xmas. I threw a fit at work about it, and then they said triple time, and you bet your ass I was there for the whole 8 hour day.
😁🤣😁🤣😁🤣😁🤣 you never failed to pull a good one out of Ricky
Our contract has the day after or before a holiday that is on the weekend as holiday pay, as well as the day after Thanksgiving. I’m a sparky working on a Bitcoin mine. Thanksgiving they wanted us to come in Friday because the first phase needs done and started up by January 1, so we said sure, we will work for double time. Not even ten minutes later they come back saying we won’t have work Friday. Hahahaha
Funny thing is I’m not scheduled to work on Thanksgiving and I’m mad about it, the extra money is nice compared to eating the same food I’ve been eating every time the holiday comes around.
I don't usually work Thursdays or Sundays. However, everyone works on Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Guess what day Christmas is this year?
So I get to work all my regular shifts and both holidays. When I found this out, I was thrilled because that means a little more money will be available to buy some of the stuff I've been wanting lately.
Thank you. I watched 2 of your posts. I did not stop laughing cause it true.
Look! I've turned down emergency assignments multiple times till my boss says double time and a half.
Loved the skit. However, as I get older, I find that I care more about seeing my sisters, brothers, nieces and nephews, than my tax bill likes seeing the overtime. Doesn't help that management gets a 4 day weekend out of it, and doesn't order in food or anything like that. It's treated like any other day, really, unless you work in the admin building.
Lol Ricky is one funny guy
This is some of the most fucked up funny ass shit I have seen in a long time Damn
@breadstickricky what number do I need to text you back
Tripple Time!? Fucking LEAD with that!
The one I love is the people that require you be there in a holiday took of the entire week of the holiday!
Y'all being too hard on Roscoe with the fax machine 😂
Ricky changed his tune REAL quick!
