Being an employee with standards, integrity and half a brain is hard. I generally have no say/input on how most jobs are going to be done. I just show up, get the scope, and working with whatever materials they give me make it work. I did a generator install yesterday. It was a hack job, period. The plan was to run pvc on a landscape timber that was flush with the surface of the ground. Through that pvc we were going to run 4/3 romex that we were running through the basement. Of course I protested and of course I was promptly overruled by "executive decision". So I ran sch 40 pvc and romex. But I stripped the jacket so it's ok. :roll: This isn't the first instance of blatantly ignoring the code and other foolishness.
I asked the other guys if this is how they normally do these and they said yes. So it was an illegal hack job that normally gets passed by incompetent inspectors while teaching the younger guys that it's ok.
I thought I had found a company that shared similar values etc. I was wrong. Sadly, this is one of the better companies that I've found. This is why I tell my kids to stay as far away from the trades as possible.
I'm just done trying. :thumbsdown:
