Yup, it's very sad. Everyone in my family up until me worked in a trade and the behaviour of today's workers makes them sick.
A lot of today's trade workers in Calgary are here because A) They aren't good enough at their trade to get steady work in their hometowns where there are other options who do a better or job or B) Don't give two craps where they work and just want to make as much as possible with as little of effort.
I've never really been down on this line of work, but lately it just really gets to me. I've been going to the same place after work for 6 years now, and never saw one fight or yelling match (let alone a disagreement) until about a year ago when the new tower went up. It's a frequent occurence now. So much so that a lot of my coworkers have stopped going.
In between swears and slurs, you often here the " F this place, i'm here for the money" line of thinking. Kind of reminds me of when the Riders come into McMahon..... There couldn't possibly be a link between the two could there?
