Man, we all appreciate this one. It's easy to fall into that money mindset, especially when triple time gets thrown around, but you really need to slow down and take time for yourself. The only reward the company is going to give you for destroying yourself and your life is a broken body and an empty house. That truck sure is nice, though, ain't it?

My father told me this when I was just starting my construction career. His comment was- “When you die, nobody from your job is going to cry over your grave.” It took a couple of years but I left construction when my son was born and I was hundreds of miles from him and his mother. I decided that I wasn’t going to miss the rest of his life. I found a job in a local city public works department, that paid me 1/2 what I made in construction. And I was able to raise all my kids and tuck them in every night. I was the football, baseball, fastpitch coach for years. I did PTA and every school conference. I hugged them when they cried and cried when they graduated and got married. I will always be the wealthiest person I know. Not in money, but in love and family. I live with my son and his family on their farm. They built a shop/ barn with an apartment for grandpa. I have grandkids who swing on my front porch, dogs that come over to visit me, home cooked meals whenever I want them, and hugs as often as my grandkids walk over to visit. Take care of your family first and you won’t regret it.

The last day on the job before starting a new career at age 51, my boss of 21 years didn’t say thanks, or good luck, or even bye. He just acted like it was any other day. So yeah, what the boss man said.

When I left my previous line of work, the boss was worse than non caring, he was pissed. He nearly demanded I pay him back for all the training he had to spend on me (all 35 seconds of it, 13 years ago). The guys at the top just see you as a replaceable cog. Some of them go "well... guess I'm replacing that cog today" some of them go "fucking goddammit. Why the fuck did that cog strip out?" But at the end of the day, they don't give a shit about you, they give a shit about the work you do and how much money that'll make them. So of course, they're gonna encourage self-destruction, they get more money, and they don't need to deal with the consequences. It's up to you to have some backbone and tell them to pound sand when they try to get you to burn tomorrow.

I work in trucking as a diesel mechanic. I turned wrench’s from 01 until 2020. I was smoking a pack a day, drinking 2 Monsters and 10 diet cokes, and putting down at the least a size of Miller lite every night. Then in 20 we were short staffed because of Covid layoffs, and I got invited to a meeting. In my mechanic way I basically told the truth without sugar coating the answers to each topic. By the end of the day I was promoted to parts manager. It probably saved my life. I’ve quit smoking 2 1/2 years, quit caffeine completely for 2 years and only drink every now and then.

I'm a 6th generation construction tradesman. First thing my dad said to be when I decided to go into trades was "take care of your feet, your hands and your back and you'll last longer than anyone else." However the best advice I ever received was at 19 from a drywaller who lost his best worker after the guy smashed his elbow real good and ended up needing surgery and not reporting it. "If you do anything that needs ice, more than one bandaid or a five minute break, document it, report it, whatever you have to do to get it on record you did it at work. Cover your own ass".

I got the same job at the same company as my boomer father. We now do more than twice the work for less than a quarter of the buying power as he did. In my 30s my body was already in worse shape than my old man in his 50s. Worse still, they stopped hiring shortly after I joined, so instead of a few years being the low man on the totem pole before dumping the grunt work onto the new guy, I've been the new guy for over 20 years. Used to be 30 years on the job was considered the minimum before retirement. Now guys are lucky to hit that before something gives out.

Well said. I knew men who would let vacation time expire to impress the boss(who had talked about giving up time himself) in the end it made no difference

I have worked 18 hour shifts for 2 years with 5 hours of sleep each day. Once we were able to hire more people in order to train from within the company, I was so happy to be able to get some much needed sleep. I noticed when the company has it's back against the wall, you are nothing more than a warm body. I had 5 weeks of vacation time and no days to use them properly. Please, take care of yourself and your family.

Dam I felt this to the core. I work in housekeeping at a hospital. We been so short staff it crazy. I work overtime to pay my child support and bills. I am 40 and starting to feel it. We been getting a lot of gen z starting. They have a complete different working style. I have to adapt to survive.

I’m 24 years old and I used to work at a lumber mill In Oregon back in 2021. I started out as a Laborer and that was back breaking work . Loved the old soul guys I worked with. The MillWrights noticed how hard I worked and offered me a position double on what I was making as a laborer. But the layoffs happened and now I’m living in Utah and working as an operator in a factory making $19 an hour which is a blessing. But sometimes you have to put your personal life over your job because you are replaceable.

I sincerely regret tearing up my body and missing out on family working too many hours for too little pay. Old, broken and alone is no way to live. Even for good money, it's not worth it. Quality of life is everything.

Businesses won't remember how busy you were, how hard you worked, or how many holidays you worked. If you dropped dead on a job, they'd replace you within a week. Take that time for yourself, friends, and family because you only live once.

I learned how much construction companies cared when I was 20. As soon as you've put in all the 7/16s for months, missed all the birthdays, get togethers, kids being born, funerals. Then you do what they say because your told "either make it happen, or we will get someone who can," Against your better judgment, they lied and you did as your told and injured. Couple weeks or months goes by, spent all that money you saved since your not working, company doctor says your fine so the company can release you to work. Now you've earned that lay off. Only to find out, "they layed you off after recovery so your lawsuit will be null and void". Even though your not fine. Company doctor is a shill and figuring out how to lie to your face without you having a way to tell him to get fucked. And doctors in your area won't touch you with a 12 foot stick because company money says their lawyers will end their medical practice if any one says "your not fine and shouldn't have been released". Lawyers won't touch you because they say, "company lawyers have too much money and you won't be able to afford the lawsuit". Then your left to figure out how to work with an injury for months without any one finding out because the bills don't stop. The company that said your hard work would pay off and keep you working has the audacity to say, "keep calling back, were not hiring right now". And the other companies say the same because they all talk amongst each other. So no work their either. If lucky, just by chance you managed to get some contacts on those pre injury jobs, a buddy might be able to get you on somewhere. Just for you to get right back in it to make that money you had before.

Take care of yourself when you're young. When you get old, all those times you overworked yourself will catch up to you. You'll have so many surgeries such as back and knee that you won't be able to turn down OT to pay for those surgeries!

I've never done any construction, but work for a surveyor for about 20 years. Currently I'm 45. Take care of yourself y'all. The time is approaching when I won't be able to walk the mountains and hills of Kentucky. The most important thing is to keep your health. The kids in my field don't really last that long. I'm proud I can outlast alot of the newbies, and a little sad. Hard to find someone who sticks nowadays. Still take a breather on occasion. Hard work is my life, but it's hard not to say I wish I had done more than work.😅🫣😘
