Linemen make more than wiremen on average because they are working outdoors, often on overtime in bad weather.
Unless you are a wizard level master electrician, then you tell them what they are going to pay you for fixing the problems they caused themselves by not listening to you the first time.
Husband’s bff was one of those, he had lots of stories about dumb ass managers talking down to him, that had no idea how much corporate was paying him to restore services.
Thanks.
My crack-addicted cousin’s father was a “below average” employee.
My point here is not that the “above average” suffer, but that those with less ability do.
Half the world is below average of course. That’s a lot of people.
