Ya
I am an ex Iron Worker and the Iron Workers on the job were very angry and wanted blood.
This SOB shows up and tells me that the Boss wanted him to be the lead man on the job.
I told him by no means was he going to be the lead inspector on this project.
we got into kind of a scuffle about the position.
He did not know that the big boss was my Apprenticeship instructor in the Ironworkers and that I had talked him into getting into inspection and 10 years latter he hired me.

I have been told twice by an owner of a Lab (I highly respect this owner and have known him for over 20 years) that I am way over qualified to do my job. His flunky fired me two months ago. I was told from a Millwright that I scare people on jobs because of what I know and that is why I am always the one getting fired.
My old boss from the guy I fired moved on to State jobs and wanted me to go with him. I told him I did not want to go back to school for 8 years to get all the certs I needed.
In hind sight I should have made the move.

Looking for a new Currier at the moment.
ether teaching or getting back in the trades.
