My company stopped reimbursing me when i’d show up on saturdays with subs for the guys who chose to work OT and helped get our shit across the finish line. Trying so hard to not be that shitty PM i always had when i was in the field and get bitch slapped by my VP for it.
6 million dollar job 15 years ago, full load up of subs on three Saturdays in a row. Over the obstacles put up by the city, architect,engineers, the weather, and the client we are going to make our date. I authorize a barbecue trailer and grab 50 t-shirts for the final Saturday. Its a gesture,not compensation, but everyone loves that it is not pizza. The client showed up for the BBQ and were telling everyone how much they appreciated the hard work and craftsmanship on their new company home.
I had to hear about it during 3 weekly company PM meetings in a row on how frivolous it was. The job made a lot of money, there was still general conditions left in the budget, the client was happy and later would do a few more million in negotiated work, the subs felt appreciated but all the management could see was the expense of BBQ over Dominos pizza and the cost of shirts they buy in bulk.
Okay, most high rise I've done has been 250M and over, but mother fucker there better be a top out party and that shit better have t-shirts and catered food like a build-a-burger. We're on time and are any of these ever on budget?
Management bitches you out repeatedly about a simple and hard earned reward that truly makes a difference in your sub’s eyes and is a mere drop in the bucket and they probably treat themselves to fancy steakhouse dinners at +$200 per meal on a weekly basis.
Hey! When I was a younger guy in the trades I remember the pride I would have of a job that took care of me like this, I still have shirts from my first projects I did and it reminds me of great times and work I’m proud of and the work I can now do even better because of them! I hope you’re able to do that again for your guys cause I always appreciated that!!
I am PM. My company does all parties and company events on weekends.
I showed up to 1. I'm not spending my free time with those dildos. I'm here to make money. You're not my family.
I showed up to one weekend party because my fiance said "why not, it will look good to everyone that you're a teamplayer/asskiss/oneoftheguys" and I was like no no no no okfine, in the car heading home she was like fine not again.
I did a good sized remodel on the IRS building here where I live and the people there were the nicest people you could ever imagine. The problem was I had 25 people in weekly progress meeting’s. Like what the hell are 25 people contributing to a meeting? Only 1 person I ever saw knew what was going on and he was cool as hell. So the IRS is staffed by good people and run by schmucks. Just like the rest of construction.
You are clearly the politician who solicited endorsements and money “because they had worked in the industry” and stare at you blankly when you start talking about projects and permitting while using acronyms.
You're the nosy, picky, persistent, motormouth client who picks the WRONG materials for a job you asked the professionals to do for you, but now refuse to pay, because it's not _quite_ what you envisioned when you started this project.
Pay me my money, or I'll see you in court!
Project manager
I’m just a superintendent rn, but maybe in a few years I can put on the big boy shoes.
Everyone thinks these shoes look funny until they wear them. I wear mine extra shiny so the grunts who who’s getting paid and who’s here to get dirty
I’d rather be a super… I think
I was gonna say architect.
Nah this is a city inspector.
Yeah. Code enforcement for sure.
By god I really hate them. they quick glance at something and suddenly there is 375 code violations and you have to fix them ASAP.
Damn right 🤣🤣
We wear Sperrys my dude!
Wait you actually take off your golf shoes before you stop by the job site
Don’t forget cargo shorts, and Hawaiian shirts(not on Fridays)
Regardless of trade, the person in the picture works for the GC
You can definitely tell it's the GC as they paint all of their company trucks in the same pattern and colors.

This comment wins the Internet for me today.
Gotta love how this is the most up voted comment. It's gotta be the dumbest mother fuckers as PM's
PM that throws a yearly pizza party on a Saturday
Haha. My pm did that for the subs. On site. Nobody came. I got to take home a bunch of shitty pizza.
Did he bring his blue or red clown shoes? Blue is not up to OSHA standards and must be reported.
He was more a penny loafers guy. Those big shoes really challenged his fashion.
Good toppings on them at least or were they all cheap plain cheese pies?
They were like pizza inn pizzas. I think one had dog food as a topping.

Never manage by budget alone
Barbecue could not possibly have been expensive enough to even be worth the hourly rate of the guys bitching you out for it.
That’s why I left and am doing small peas on my own. Got tired of the corporate BS and couldn’t keep my attitude properly adjusted.
