The actual Job….Part 3
If you’ve been with us so far, it will come to no surprise that the job was not as advertised by the website.
Shocker, I know…
My first day was Dec 1st, 2025.
I did get work, but there wasn’t any “AI Deployment” or “Data Intelligence & Analytics”. It was cable running, device replacements, and hours of service rep calls.
As I Mentioned in Part 1, I actually really enjoyed it. I was in different places everyday, meeting new people, and putting in 8 to 10 hours a day. Cha-ching!
However, to even go to the first round of assignments, I had to do a little investing up front.
Let’s do the math…
Equipment (Drill bits, ladders, electrician tools, etc.): $1,100
Fuel (driving personal truck within a 60 mile radius): $500
New tires (tread Separated from all the mileage): $800
This is all while I was in discussion with Brennan about getting more certifications and how he would reimburse me…
For a grand total of $2,400 bEFORE getting my first pay check.
Speaking of which, let’s talk about my pay check…
Brennan told me I had been hired in the middle of a pay cycle so that, along with my first check being held a week, I wouldn’t get paid until Dec 25th. That’s right folks, Christmas.
Picture this…. I’ve just started a new job. I’m already sweating bills and now I’ve invested $2,400 into this new job. Can you guess what the Christmas tree looked like?
If you said “bare”, you guessed right.
literally not a single present for my kids.
That’s fine I told my wife, I’ll get paid on Christmas, or the day after (I know how Bank Holidays work..), and we’ll get the kids ALL the presents. We can salvage the holidays, just be patient.
You did so well the first time, would you like to guess what happened on Christmas?
Right again! Nothing.
And nothing happened the week after that, or the week after that.
