So I worked an install about 2 weeks ago. Homeowner was a very nitpicky asshole so we’re already on edge. I sadly Dropped my impact off my ladder and 2 weeks later the homeowner calls and bitches that my impact dropping cracked some paint on the ceiling in the living room. Didn’t bust the sheet rock or anything. Somehow the lady turned it into a 1600 dollar repair having another company come to fix it and my company is taking 200 dollars from each paycheck until it’s paid. I’m new to this still but shouldn’t companies have business insurance to protect its workers from things like that? It’d be different if it was something intentional but it was a total accident.

So I just got hired on as a residential installer not too long ago. I know we’re not in the busy season at all but I hate having days off and want to learn the trade. I just feel extremely lazy if I’m not out working and learning something. I’ve had 4 days off in a row (Saturday Sunday Monday and Tuesday) I just want to know if any other residential installers also deal with this as well while not in the busy season. The company I work for isn’t no slouch either. We have 2000 reviews and 4.9 stars so it’s not like we don’t pull business. Any feedback helps.
