Apprenticeship Advice
G'day everyone, I'm just looking for some advice in terms of my apprenticeship
To quickly sum it up I got my apprenticeship through putting my resume at different wholesalers landed an apprenticeship that way back in February and have been on a wait list for neca which I start this week
PROS:
Boss drives me to site everyday
I have another job I work in the evenings which he respects and I usually get home 4 second job is 4:30
He's not a bad teacher I've learned quite a lot from him on his good days
CONS
My supervisor aka the a grade on our team of three is a cunt he recently finished his apprenticeship and just gets mad at very easily makes jokes like importing Labour
I got into pretty heated argument about immigration and then asked to go home took a few days off
I get paid 18$ an hour no overtime as in if the job goes from 7-4or 7-5 I don't get paid between 3-5 which obviously adds up
Pay for my own tools and everything my own ppe I'm buying my own power tools soon
Safe to say I'm pretty sick of it, the passive aggressiveness no banter either I don't mind a joke here and there but striaght up racism and telling me a fucking idiot isn't really working
The only reason I'm still here is cause I've got no other option but school does start soon so I will stay for that and I get payments for working in solar which I'll wait for that as well
TLDR: Neca told me I would be able to stay in school for 3 months before having to find an employer but since I have more experience hands on would I still have to do the middy's method again cold calling as well or would NECA be able to sort me out
I'm anxious about it though cause I can do some great work I like to believe but the way my boss and a grade berrade me has me shitting myself even doing downlights lmao
Just needing some advice any would be great
Cheers
