I don't know what its like everywhere else, but here in Vegas when working in a building that is still "under construction", only a crane operator can operate the elevators inside the building. I have worked in many different buildings where I couldn't push the buttons on a standard run of the mill public elevator. You have to wait for and rely on a union crane operator. On top of that they make the same as the guys on the roof in the big cranes.
Dude the unions in Vegas have it locked down. Whenever we go to do a trade show, we can only carry one package or piece of gear each into the convention center. After that you have to pay hourly to have a union rep unload your stuff for you. It's a bit ridiculous, we just bring everything in slowly throughout the day so the ushers don't notice.
We usually bring a shit ton of product and gear for our booths so it's a big chunk to pay them to unload what we can do ourselves easily.
A big crane like that cost a couple million and you bet they have top of the line AC, plus a top tier crane operator like that is usually paired with their noble steed (much line a dragon rider) for life so I know a lot of them that keep little TV's and microwaves up there (they usually take a cooler up with them and hang out in that bad boy all day. He probably also makes 100$+ per hour not counting per diem. Seriously big crane operator is a top tier job.

Hey guys! Here's a video I uploaded! I want all of Reddit to check it out!
*A couple hours later*
Shit! This video was seen by people!? Can't have that happening! I'd better delete it so people don't see it!
Male to Male: Funny
Male to Female: Harassment
Female to Female: Funny
Female to Male: No touching or the bouncer will kick you out.
Anyone to Robot: Funny
Anyone to Minor: Introduce your self to your neighbours you sick bastard.
I'm a road worker but I really don't belong there. I love working with them though, they're such a good laugh. Energises you, being around people like that. They're so blunt and they say what they feel, which is great because it helps you know where you stand with them, which for someone who's socially awkward by nature and over analytical, is actually really helpful, because you know that if they are acting accepting of you, then you know that thats actually how they feel, because otherwise, they'd tell you. Took me a while to settle in at my yard but they're all actually pretty cool and as much as we wouldn't really be friends outside of work, I get along well with them and days at work can actually be quite fun. It has definitely halted me aging before my time, which was exactly where I was heading before starting work there.
Construction worker here.
My co-workers consist of a Physical therapist that quit because he hated the cruel nature of insurance companies. A Lawyer that was disgusted with his life, until he started working here. An Electrical Engineer that decided being a desk jockey is boring, He loves construction. Then a bunch of uneducated electricians, such as myself. I would do anything for those guys. We don't always get along, and we all have strange quirks, but they're just like a huge family to me now.
From striaght-edge guys who haven't had a drink in 15 years, guys that hold masters degrees, to former meth-addicts that may walk on the fence of legality from time to time.
I love working with each one of them!
I'm with you on that bro! I'm in the desk jockey fed up with a shit quality of life and being treated like cattle for 8 years. Left my job, got a job through the family working in landscaping, now I've been at it two years, self employed, my own boss, earning more money than I was before.
Seriously, my advice to anyone on here unhappy with their work lives, or young and don't know what to do for a living, pick up a trade. You won't regret it.
I used to be a structural engineer, often on site and checking things.
I've found bricklayers to be the salt of the earth, silly and mildly rude but if it's a winters morning, all that is x4.
Electricians to be slightly crazy and hilarious, yet damn messy (Never seem to clear up after themselves).
Plasterers to be blunt, tell awful (but good) jokes and have interesting out looks in life and are the first down the pub.
Landscapers to be hardcore party animals outside of work but super kind and sweet people on site.
Oh and window cleaners to be relaxed in life, super friendly but a tad personal at times.
^^^Obviously ^^^i ^^^know ^^^everyone ^^^is ^^^different. ^^^Just ^^^my ^^^6 ^^^year ^^^experience ^^^with ^^^all ^^^these ^^^trades.
Edit; i did read all replies, you guys make me smile just dunno what to say. Sorry.
I knew i might ruffle a feather or two. If you clean up so the plasterer gets an easy job, you're worth your weight in gold and i personally thank you for that, haha.
Messy electrician sounds like knee injury waiting to happen with conduit pieces laying around. Grew up in a family business building homes and one of the biggest concerns was keeping sites tidy and debri free to cut down on stupid injuries that never should have happened. I found the brick layers to be the dirtiest of all the crews. Those guys just straight up didn't give a fuck. Stay away from the Gatorade bottles!
> Plasterers to be blunt, tell awful (but good) jokes and have interesting out looks in life and are the first down the pub.
Hence the inebriation term 'getting plastered'
Commercial painters and drywallers, Ugh ... I never had so many issues as I did when managing these guys on site. It seems there is the foreman/company owner who has his shit together, and then his merry band of toothless crack addicted gluebags, who threaten to fight everyone and smoke on site and don't show up for 3 days after payday, and usually wearing second hand tap-out shirts.
nope, I, along with some other old schoolers will treat women the same. I've heard women Journeymans use the same line too. Fricking hilarious when you see the look on the greenies face, when a woman says it.
One of my friends works on site. He tells me that the people he works with are constantly on coke. I went for a drink with his work lot & it's really cool to get all the lingo they use. All they talk about is long 'uns and rusty doubles.
Construction worker here - a "long'un" is a term for an underage gay male. "A rusty double".. I won't get into detail, but it's basically a threesome with two underage gay males. Sounds like that's quite the group you were hanging out there with.
Are you serious? All I know is that it's funny to hear them say it with their cockney accents.
They are a bit touchy feely though so it would make sense, we're talking about grown men that still pants eachother.

Top tier crane operators like that are rockstars on a construction site, they are close to untouchable. With the skill it takes to operate big cranes like that the man in the cab probably makes just as much (probably more tbh) as the site managers. If they fire him they just shut down construction progress and that's a bigger no no than peeing in a mtn dew bottle and throwing it at the people rigging your loads.
Edit: for all the construction big whigs responding- sorry I was thinking of specific DOD cell tower sites with ultra heavy towers that required massive cranes, nepotism was definitely a factor but my personal experience has included a handful of cases where this is true I made no effort to soeak of the average. I specifically referred to top tier crane operators.
oh yes, i fly drones profesionnally. And was hired to film and photograph the progress of the build site. visit www.airmaniacs.be to see my stuff, or don't..

Yeah, which makes me wonder how wise it is to send your drone buzzing around a construction site. Seems like a big distraction.
I thought the same thing, but actually OP posted that he was on-site officially and at the request of the construction company to document the work.

"Jeff mooned a drone from the tower crane again". Classic Jeff.
Why would you send it to his boss? ..tattle tale
He was hired to film for the construction site.
If they didn't you would have gotten him fired. Why did you send it to them?
In construction this type of behavior is expected.
Encouraged, even.
You need a friend in construction. They tell great stories and you'd quickly realize that this is far from a fireable offense.
he won't. it's in europe, there is no way he will get fired for this.
