The Amazon’s are going insane right now. Million + sq ft fulfillment centers going up on every corner.

You’ll easily land somewhere pretty quick with the way construction is going right now.

I had heard that Amazon bought out all of the manufacturing dates for Dematic roller conveyor for 2021 just so they have the conveyor but don't have the buildings for it yet. Crazy!

You're like the only guy on here that didn't loose his guns in a flood!

Good luck on the new moves. 👍

Good for you. Those 80 work weeks get old quick. Retired from those hours plus weekend travel five years ago. Lack of rest is not healthy for the body. I never looked back after going to 40ish hours. Much better balance in my home life and health with eight hours of sleep per night.

Congrats T&B! It's gotta feel fucking awesome!

If I were you, after working that hard, I'd wrangle a month or so of time off before starting the new....you need some river time!

Congrats…. I recommend you take as much time off between jobs as you can. I know thats hard to do. Do your best.

Amazon.. they are buying up just about everything they can get on the West side of Temecula. Paying huge $$$ to have people move out of the buildings they had leased. A buddy of mine got $600k from Amazon to get out of a building in 30 days that he had a 10 year lease on.

That’s Great! Good for you!

After a while the money isn’t worth it! It seems like the more you give the more they expect you to do….

Worked 80+ hour weeks for years. It will take years off your life. Good on you for having the courage to know when to walk away. It took a divorce for me to realize I was working my life away! It’s not an easy decision when your career is at stake. Enjoy your time off!!

Dude it's time to relax and enjoy some time off. 80+ will kill you sooner than you want it too.

I have an uncle that worked on civil construction (roads,.dams, canals) all his life. He finally got to the point that he would just name his work days/hours and wait for the call back. He always got the call back.

He's been retired for 4 years now and still gets calls to come run a job or two during the construction season.
