asian mafias are real an they stay low in the cut...
Mayne.......LISTEN!
I had a young cat from my 3rd party subcontractor doing controls for my HVAC units two years back. Rail thin, smelled like Winston Red's, Red Bull, and ass.
Anyways, cat couldn't function worth a fuck Monday through Friday. Dude would forget his instruments, his laptop, his fucking mind- spaced out in his truck listening to Led Zepplin. I couldn't get shit out if him.
Until....
Saturday.
On Saturday he'd come in and FLAWLESSLY knock out a weeks worth of controls in 4 hours. Literally running from unit to unit then back to the network room to bang in points.
After about 3 months of this I pull him aside and ask him.
"You know you ain't worth a fuck Monday through Friday and then you Jesus with a laptop on Saturday. What gives."
Dude looked me dead in the eyes and said.
"I get paid on Fridays and spend the night getting tweaked the fuck out [meth]. I take my biggest hit before I come on your jobsite so I can bang this lil mickey mouse shit out...I'm a professional."
From that day forth I adjusted the schedule to have controls completed on Saturdays!
I have tons of these stories. I'm sure you do to and I know @killagram has several.
Construction is wild as fuck man! They just don't know!

A lot of niggas are weirdos, and don't know how/want to hide their wierdo habits. Also, niggas browsing for porn at the office is surprisingly common

Corporate America
Never complain to your boss about disagreements on your level.
- It comes off as you can't handle shit at your level so you wouldn't be able to handle shit at a higher level.
Handle your business or create an exit plan
Exit plan:
- always have 1 person you can use as a reference at your previous jobs. Keep the names and contacts in a google sheet and reach out every quarter to catch up
3% of Corporate America executives are narcissistic
- Means you got to be ruthless as well when it comes down to it
- never hesitate to make a strong move, hesitation will be seen as weakness
- never give off any indication that you need the job e.g. talking about kids in school, college, mortgage etc Always appear to have a financial cushion. It gives you power.
If you have a co-work out to destroy you, you have 3 options:
- wait for it to happen while fighting the bullshit, you will be fucking miserable until you get fired
- destroy that person, you will breathe
- leave, you will breathe but better have an exit plan
8 steps ahead.
Nobody at your job is your "Friend" keep your personal feelings to yourself at all times.
Don't get into games with anyone.
CC all relevant people every single email every single update.
Backup YOUR OWN STUFF
Make memo notes of things that happen that are noteworthy.
Take notes from private conversations with peers equal, or below.
As soon as you make some noise and are on track to be promoted the people above you will try to squash you down and the people on your level will hate--- not barb... yes barb is talking shit behind your back.
You need a thick skin. Don't approach things with emotion. Approach it with a goal in mind.
Always network within your industry. Be visible in the sense that you are what you proclaim to be.
DON'T take meetings with other companies, do keep their cards in your own personal foul. Their boss will approach you and try to get you to "choose"
LEAVE WORK AT WORK.
There are no brownie points if you're black. The bottom line is your pass to whatever you're trying to do. They already hate you but not enough to stop their checks from coming in.
If you are young you are going to get hated on. It is an old person's club filled with people who didn't have the juice you have as you move up quicker than they did.
If your secretary flirts, move her immediately. I've done it personally 4 times. Don't do it out of spite or give a reason "So and so will be a better fit" 'get you one you can TRUST. meaning trust she will hold water, she's professional and she ain't tripping about anything.
Treat people under you with confident respect.
If you're confident in them they will be confident and get the tasks done that you assigned them.
Do go to the parties they throw that are trash. Do not drink at those parties relax. observe. mental note. don't get caught in a compromising situation
True.
I mobilize teams I don't belong to now on several job sites.
I know what soft power is. The power of influence beyond one's station. Up and down the chain.
I'm not sure what 'make sure' you and @largebillsonlyplease is referring to. If one if you could elaborate on that I'd appreciate it.
*two cents*
you aint lying, I told more than a few brethren, especially chicks, never take shit to human resources, thinkin they are on your side.. they are there to protect the company...
I seen so many wet behind the ear folks of all ages, pour their hearts out to human resources,
get all emotional and shit, thinkin they are getting a compassionate ear...
every single one of them was let go, some sooner, some later...
they thought they could go to human resources on management... only one chick I told listened... and was able to hold on to her job untill she found something else..
I told her when it comes to management and they call you in the office play dumb, act like you had no idea there was an issue, and all you want to do is resolve it...
keep all emails and never respond emotionally just state facts that are in your favor, keep shit short and sweet..
her direct report ended up having a nervous breakdown and had to take time off..
within that time she got a better position from an associate to credit officer.. end up getting her own condo and her lil used bmw...
couldnt tell her shit....lol..
you are a hunid.. you have no friends in the workplace act accordingly...
wasnt this basically how Comey operated!8 steps ahead.

Your right.. I work in the electric utility. We would work on underground lead cable and inside that cable was a date stamped on the footage tape.. some of that cable was made in the early 1930.. The strange part, the cable looked brand new on the inside.. But their was transformers as old as 1930 and still in service. I never liked working around them, they made strange sounds and I didnt want to be stuck in a manhole with a xfmr explosion!! Anyway, the industry approach was as long as the old equipment is outta site and working, fuck it keep moving!!
you can't do what they do
period
todd says "black people be like"
and everyone laughs
you say "white people be like
everyone laughs
then tomorrow you have a meeting because several complaints have been made about you and your racial sense of humor and how it's harming the overall morale in the workplace.
Add more. Don't base the perceived value on the responses u get in the short terms. Lots of the winners don't have time to check thus thread for days. Not that the current responders aren't winners but YKWIM.1. You get paid for the size of problems you are solving
Not for the amount of education you have
2. Corporate America will love you as a black person until you get the bus out of the ditch.
Make you plans to transition BEFORE getting the bus back on the road
e.g. They talk shit about Obama AFTER he got the economy back on track
3. You leave school without a network?
You are fucked and that transition period will determine your career trajectory
Fuck the minimum wage jobs for summer, get an internship or volunteer in something relevant.
Network with school admin, meetup groups etc and grow your network while IN school
4. If you come into Corporate America wanting to be liked you are already fucked.
People will recognize you have a high need for EXTERNAL VALIDATION and will give you so much fucked up feedback, it will destroy your self-esteem and stunt your growth.
I'll add more if people are interested vs the strip club stories which clearly has interest (and funny!)
wasnt this basically how Comey operated!
I generally agree with thus EXCEPT that in CA there are many nude bars selling soft drinks that are making bank. It depends on your jurisdiction.Dope ass thread.
If you get your liquor license taken away, it's a wrap for your club, bar or dining establishment. It's hard as fuck gettin' liquor licenses.
Even though you have the job even though you have the qualifications even though you have the track record.
even though you mobilized all of that
if there's a white person standing next to you they will try and give them the credit and that white person will take the credit and move up.
there are tons of white people in upper management off the backs of other people because they took the credit.
when i do shit there is no wiggle room. i intentionally leave certain things out you know the summary sure go into the meeting and they ask about the nooks and cranny's and you get exposed.
i walk in and i know the nooks, cranny's and the pivot and the end game and the next step after that one.
so there is NO DOUBT I am the one who put everything together delegated the responsibility and controlled the entire environment and made it possible for this result.
so MAKE SURE
means nobody else can get the credit. credit will get you into a managerial position quicker than anything you actually can or cannot do period.
people's supervisor's take credit for everything you do in the first place lol you make them look good.
Here is something that is really scary.
All the control electronics being installed in today’s electrical grid is all made in China and other countries.
All the computers, laptops, tablets, smartphones, TVs, Car electronics, smart appliances. Just pick a electronic device.
There is a good chance it’s made in China.
What’s keeping China from putting a sleeper kill switch in all the shit they make?
It sounds conspiracy, but if you been following China in the news and it’s relationship with the US, especially since Fucktard got in the White House........
Just sayin’
Lol about professional massage therapist... Many people sleep on the skill set of "magic hands"... In my bizz the oil/lotion rubdown or after work back massage usually is requested and pussy is literally thrown even when you not trying to get it.. Also be surprise how fast money is tossed towards you, late nite dinner, ride back, group sex offers, all kinda shit off a simple shoulder/back rub.. Heard many times I'm missing my other calling or I need to stop playing and get certified from chicks.. Magic hands is def an underrated skill set in generalBarber shop Salon things....
when it comes to the sneaky shit women do when they want to cheat:
Without fail.... the NERDS always surprise. D girls wit it... they hit you wit the game like a niggaah. MARRIED women who are the biggest whores on the low. They are the fine ass women you sleep on.. she got the high paying career/position, her husband neglects her, doesnt listen to her, & no longer NOTICES her ( probably doesn't watch her get dressed in the morning anymore. If she ( any woman) showers with the bathroom door closed & she has a man in her bed..... something is wrong & she's not telling you, & if its been a while... she probably got a dude in someplace who does now.
Things we make a point to notice & mention a ya wife, girlfriend, or jumpoff ...
New hand bags especially if the shoes match, shoes, how she smells, what she has on, hair color, eyebrows are more important to a woman than her hair.
****She will try a new hair stylist 100x's before she tries a new brow artist.
Women spend a ton of time trying to look good for men. SOME women would love it if they could date / marry/ fuck a dude who do her brows, hair, or cut her hair. They damn sure will be turned out if he was a professional massage therapist. Or like I mentioned before with the pedicures..... I got a hommie who ONLY does that!!!!! He KEEPS a fly bitch! & Gets PAID! You are providing one of the most intimate services possible. Women tell you things they wont tell their man or gf. They WACH you make money & see how other women respond to you. They want to be able to stand out from the rest & want that top spot as a clients & or maybe moreif you allow it. Its all a game & they pay to play it! They know its going down when they get up & hit the shower in the morning. She factors in what she's gonna wear ( panties or no panties, bra or no bra) cause she's coming to see YOU for her service.
Wealthy people pay zero bank fees, while poor people are nickel and dime for every simple charge from stop payments cashier checks, wire fees, etc. All of that shit is either excluded or reversed and rebates back.
I got the hands tooLol about professional massage therapist... Many people sleep on the skill set of "magic hands"...

Muffuckin trim carpenter...was trimming a house for a month for the last month..and on the last day he left his tools and came back the next day and they were missing..a whole trailer full of shit...the builder claimed it on the insurance, only to find out after he gave dude the check for over 30000.00 the neighbor had video footage that he hooked up to the trailer himself....contractors are the worst..brah
Lol now this is some good info and funny storiesThat's the funny thing about site raiders...
95% of them are inside jobs.
I have stories FOR DAYS about that shit.
One of the more interesting ones was when I was contracted to demo an elementary school in 5th Ward (Houston).
![]()
Before you bring in the bulldozers the demolition contractor strips the school bare for metals & materials that can be reused and or sold as scrap. In fact, demo contractors can get around 15% additional profit just on what they pull out of the building. If you see an abandon building scheduled for demo don't go in it, not only is it unsafe and you are trespassing, the demo guy might think your planning to raid his shit and will fuck you up.
![]()
That being said, the money pit in demoed building is the electrical rooms that house the breakers the center piece being the main electrical room that houses the main gear switch. Thick wire, all copper, big money in scrape.
The electrician won the demo on the electrical rooms. My demo guy was pist.
Demo is to start in a week.
Two days prior to demo, I get a frantic call from my electrician to come out to the job site. He asks me if I fucked him by allowing the demo guy access to the electrical rooms. I told him I thought he got a jump start on shit and being proactive. He didn't.
Uh oh...
We went into the main electrical room and the shit was immaculately stripped bare. In most cases raids are smash and dash jobs- at the very least to make it LOOK like someone off the street did it. No, these fuckers took their time to the point that they put the screws back into electrical panels and shit so it looked like no one stole anything until you opened up a panel to find that it has no wire in it or unscrewed an electrical conduit to find it empty.
Whole school stripped bare. Niggas even took the light bulbs.
I call up my demo guy who is laughing his ass off. He informs me that he was onsite a week earlier doing prep work before taking down the building and before he'd leave he'd see a couple of truck show up each evening, guys would jump out with hard hats safety glasses, vests, etc and get to work. They'd leave when he get back the next morning.
"Those weren't the electricians! Them fools looked like electricians! Well fuck him that should've been my copper anyways!"

I come to find out months later that the school district (HISD) has a secret "mid-night crew" of cats who finds out which schools are scheduled for demo and/or mechanical/electrical overhauls and raids them before general construction starts and line they pockets off the scrap. Apparently this was there signature night project of the year because they had about 10 cats working over night on the shit. They even rented connexes to load the copper up to get hauled off. Rough estimate....about 500k in copper for a week worth of work split between 10 cats and the dudes they paid to look the other way.
ALLEGEDLY....
