EB Mafia

[ChebyshevII PE PMP]

@ChebyshevII PE are you a union rat?

Doesn't appear so.

 

[Dothracki PE]

I...don't think so? Union rat = scabby = union = mafia? Just making sure?

That is correct. Union rats are the bad guys in this scenario. Might seem contradictory to some who are not familiar with unions, but this scenario is very loosely based on personal experience with projects that utilize non-union trades hired by the client that get harrased by the unions in attempt to maintain union workers in business. See the attached image for example where 5 rats and a moving billboard were parked in front of a jobsite (not one I worked on).

I was on a site visit and we drove by one of these rats near a mall. I can't remember if it was the Jersey site visits or one of my PA visits

@NikR_PE are you a union rat?

I am not. Just a low paid and overworked engineer

 

[JayKay PE]

Oh yeah,

Ah, okay. I totes think of the union being mafia from working in NYC as well, but I wasn't sure what the townies would be considered (non-union? Day laborers? Did I get picked up from the outside of a 7-11 at 4am to get some work in?)

@Dothracki PE I'll start with @JayKay PE just because she did the "welp. didn't get a PM" tactic.

 

[JayKay PE]

@Dothracki PE I'm retaliatory voting for @ChebyshevII PE, because how dare they! I was just trying to do my work on the job site, to feed my family, and they kept yelling about teamsters and stopping the trucks!

@Dothracki PE I second the @JayKay PE vote because my lower intestine does not like superbowl food and I blame them for my discomfort this morning (gender pronoun removed).

Uh...wait. You're not my lower intestine buddy. Uh. @DuranDuran, what is going on? Are you timesharing your half of lower intestine?

 

[DLD PE]

I am definitely not timesharing my lower intestine (except with @JayKay PE ).

 

[LyceeFruit PE]

I am definitely not timesharing my lower intestine!

But you can get free stuff if you sit thru a timeshare presentation!

@Dothracki PE I guess I'll vote for @ChebyshevII PE because we've been pretty successful with promoting ties recently.
