Hiring now...

let me guess; Your ABC's... and dodo don't flow up hill ....
Well, you better know how air rises for your vents (I've seen people install tees and crosses upside down), you better know to back off your right angle drill when you start hitting the nails in the headers, you better know how to read blueprints so your drains aren't out of wall and your toilet and shower drains wind up in the right spot, you better know the exterior finish of the house so you can stub out correctly for your outdoor spigots, you better know how to get the proper fall for your trunk line when running a slab, you better not miss any nail plates and you better make sure your fittings are crimped fully and squarely so you're not having to cut out sheetrock and find your leaks when the house is finished, etc, etc...
 
You ain't wrong. Then you have the idiot who will screw you up........
We had a psycho HVAC guy that cut wires. Thought he was being cute. Took his tin snips and cut one conductor on the wire. Fortunately I had a schematic and traced all the problems down. They got fired
 
Y'all both get fired??..........🤣
Well. When I was in plumbing, one guy went back to jail for beating his wife again, another young kid was dating a stripper, she went to jail for prostitution and then he went to jail for dui/vehicular homicide right after that, and another guy (the one who kept putting his crosses and tees upside down and chewing up all the hole saw bits because he kept cutting through all the nails) went on workman's comp because the right angle drill torqued over and crushed his hand between the wall stud and the drill, breaking his fingers in the process. My work partner didn't have a driver's license, a bank account or any teeth so when he ate McDonald's fries, there was a pile of French fry ends on his wrapper paper where he broke off all the crunchy bits...

So I never got fired but I finally left for another job that I hated but paid 2x as much...

I was 19 then, come to think of it...
