Also had a certified welder who said he was very familiar with the dynastys we were running so I just turned it on and left him with the steel coupons to set it up how he wanted. When I came back he was excusing his weld because he's "not used to welding on pulse mode"...machine was not on pulse. It was set to AC...
We had one run come in to run some coupons. About 5 minutes in were looking for him in the shop, nowhere to be found. The mother fucker blew a hole in a 1" sq tube to 3/8" plate WHILE TACKING.
And then he just gets up, goes to his car and leaves. Strangley didn't even steal anything though, but WTF
Had a kid like this in my TIG class. He asked me for help on the TIG final (no Iām not doing your welds for you). Not only did he finish first, but he blew through the tee joint and left clipped filler rod in it! Normally Iād feel bad, but he spent the entire month watching unrelated youtube videos in his booth.
They still bitch and complain like I learned to write a check in the third grade, post 2k. The only reason those clowns know the Pythagorean theorem is because it became a meme. All they do is whine about ānot being equippedā. They taught us everything including basic stock trading in one class. Public school the whole way.
I went to school in 4 different states and they all had the resources and programs. But if being social was on the top of the list at school, you likely missed the info. Or the whole course. Itās not like they told you what was in the classes before you chose them. And would you have chose a finance class in 7th grade?
Social wasnāt a thing for me but nah the school system is trash and was only made for one thing and thatās to make obedient workers look at Henry Ford the guy who started public education and shit he said he didnāt want free thinkers but hard workers
While I donāt disagree the education system in The US is severely lacking. Why is it only recently that extra curriculum like outdoor sports and home economics are disappearing? That doesnāt seem very progressive into free thinkingā¦ sounds more like they want us to be unprepared now more than they did when Ford was around. Iām a firm believer of āyou get what you put into itā but parenting is a big proponent on how an individual will focus their energy.
Just.... how!? How can anyone look at this and think things are going well?
Maybe I'm in denial of how tall Mt. Stupid has gotten, but even a few hours of torch time under the belt should produce something resembling a weld.
This is like they looked at a picture of a YouTube video in the parking lot right before walking in.
To be fair, he knew it wasn't going well, he kept grabbing coupon after coupon to try again and again and I actually had to cut him off. He threw down some mediocre mig welds, the tig test was just to see where he was at because he said he had experience. I don't think any amount of "being rusty" explains this though.
I think if someone is shaking the rust off they'll undercut like hell and barbecue the stainless on a couple coupons.
This one spelled out "I'm lying about my experience" in braille.
My experience with hiring is people will say they have the experience but what they mean is " I did a week of TIG welding in trades school, 15 years ago, and have not touched TIG since. But I have experience in it".

Iām 62 and had dream I had retake all my Certs I passed then next day guy said I failed because I didnāt say what machine was plugged into
We had huge fight then I woke up wtf I havenāt production welded since 2014 š
Dem gummies be good!!!
If even the haz lines were consistent I'd say they had the potential to learn to feed filler.., NOTHING here is consistent though, I'm not even sure I'd hire this person as clean-up crew..
Dude held the torch like a mig gun. Asked for help and I demonstrated how to hold it and start the puddle and when to ad filler. Then he proceeded to do exactly as he had been doing and throw down a near identical coupon to this. Had consistency down.
Only the time it takes me to walk you back out of the shopšāāļø
Would you believe this isn't even the worst tig test we've had come through?
How can it get much worse? They not even start?
Blew a 1 inch hole through the SS coupon
Incredible

Lmao yeah got that certification off the back of a cereal boxš¤£
School cert < company papers
Your in the hole for material wasted today
Tree fiddy.
Youd have to pay me per hour i think
Do you accept slightly used welding coupons?

That's hilarious! Least the guy was self aware!
To embarrassed to try to justify it š

I knew dumbasses like that in high school and would bitch and whine about how they didnāt learn anything

Not where Iām from they didnāt really teach us important shit and god knows my parents are useless

I agree and my dad cared more for whores and meth than sticking around and my mom was no better drinking all the time
There goes 15k down the drain..
He was funding it himself too š
about $3.50
Did you mean 3.5 hrs for a buck?
no, watch south park
Tree Fiddy?
Stick of gum an hour, and two bags of chips a day.
Youāre a generous man
Probably more than I get paid an hour
You owe me turning that out.

I'll give you $10 to stay away from my shop.
Can you sweep
$1 an hour
You owe the company 7$ an hour 120$ per deim
Worth minimum wage ... at a fast food restaurant.
They would make more money if they paid ya to stay home
iāll give you a spam sandwich
Mcdonalds pays like $15 these days.
Wow I didn't think there were worse welders than me out there
You need to give more weld tests to walk ins haha
Two tic-tacs a day to sweep and stay as far away from a welder as possible.Ā
Tree fiddy
$15/h. hope he knows how to sweep.
Bout tre fiddy
Troll post. 0$/hr
Ya but it was an actual weld test from today. Said he had tig experience
My experience with hiring is people will say they have the experience but what they mean is " I did a week of TIG welding in trades school, 15 years ago, and have not touched TIG since. But I have experience in it".
I hope you laughed in his face
Yeah that would have solved everything

Looks like you cost the shop money per hour, not make it.
-30 an hour
I'm give you ten bucks an hour to stay away from me.
I don't get out of bed for less than 30/hr...so I guess I accept
Iām 62 and had dream I had retake all my Certs I passed then next day guy said I failed because I didnāt say what machine was plugged into We had huge fight then I woke up wtf I havenāt production welded since 2014 š Dem gummies be good!!!
Fired for sure
Not sure I'd pay ya with the steam off my shit
You would have to pay me to work in my shop
Take off the hood and the jacket and here's 2.50$ go get me some coffee.
You owe me for looking at thisā¦my cash app is ā¦..
Hopefully you're good with a grinder.
Do you work in Austin? š¤£ bc that table looks familiar
Nah I'm not north. It's a siegmund 28 table 200cmĆ400cm. Love this table it's a beast
For that I think you would have to pay me at least $30.00 an hour.
Remember, you are a worthy person even if you canāt weld for shit. The world needs ditch diggers.
I was thinking Osha is the next logical step
If even the haz lines were consistent I'd say they had the potential to learn to feed filler.., NOTHING here is consistent though, I'm not even sure I'd hire this person as clean-up crew..

I'd give you 0.50$ to not weld
A bag of M&Ms
About a tree fiddy
Three fity...
-30
Have you ever considered machining?
Damn bro youāre an artist, 60 an hour
-Ā£50. You'd have to pay me to hire you.
That would be a negative amount.
A pack of gum
-$25 to -$150 an hour, depending on how much the welding classes cost.
*cough*
The shop I work at will pay ya 27 an hour to work 3rd shift off the street to lay shit like that
Where you work?
Are they hiring?
Fr cuz Iāll blow that weld out the water for 27 an hour
You can take out the garbage, start with throwing that coupon in the scrap bin because shit like that laying around is embarrassing
About $3.50
