Recession Proofing ?

Just heard I an supposed to update my resume and my Linked In info. :nod: Does having a really long list of incomplete ranch and home projects preempt all this? I am not sure I can work for anyone (other than my wife).

Last time I updated resume was near 15 years ago. Couldn't be bothered today. Give a few old letters of reference and some phone numbers. If that isn't good enough, then they probably couldn't afford me anyways. But I would have to have some kind of serious head injury first, because who in their right mind wants to work with other people. :yuck: I see more socializing in teams than working.

Some are projecting a full time job will only be 15 hours per week in the future. Could you could team up for that long? Otherwise, the government will have to give you the universal basic income.

Sounds like Hydro (linemen) workers around here. They do maybe 4 hours work in a day. Sit in truck and drive around the rest of the day. Get paid for full day's work.

I told this story before, but, it merits repeating. When I redid corral in 2014 and put 1200' of tile in to take water away, excavator man who was doing digging said I did the equivalent work in a day of 3 men on a crew. I had been apologizing for how long it was taking me to get pipe laid and connections made in wet clay trench. He said he had never seen a single crew man work as fast as I do.

My biggest peeve working in groups is that the individual with drive and motivation always gets stuck doing all the work, and then has to share credit (and paycheck) for job at end of day. Not me. Everything I do, I did by myself. Give me equivalent paycheck of 3 men and watch me go.

I'll start as soon as I get done all of my projects. Might need 20 years or so.

Back when I was falling timber I preferred jobs that paid by how much you cut rather than the day wage jobs. You had to work hard on the day wage jobs or they would fire you. But working by the thousand board feet of timber cut gave the opportunity to make more money for your efforts.

That's the pareto distribution.. typically 20% of the people in a team do 80% of the work, you can fire the 80% of the lowest producers, your average production will go up, but it'll still be the same distribution
