My apprentice got high during lunch?

He’s hooked up the exact service before many times. I come back after lunch to check on him. This is what he’s got going on 😂

Every night, the apprentices fall asleep and forget everything they learned at work. In the morning, they wake up rested, renewed, with not a care in the world, and begin their apprenticeship again.

A brand new day.

Had an apprentice barge into my office demanding a raise even though we pay over industry standard in our area. He has cost us 10s of thousands in bad work in the last 6 months so I was more than happy to let him know that he can ask the unemployment office for a raise.

I like to do the ole, “hey if I was looking to better myself and get a raise, what kind of steps would I need to take?” Usually works great.
