I used to be a surveying tech for a major company for.

I remember each crew chief sets the pace of the conversation of the day. But I also remember one crew chief yelling at me constantly, blaming me for his (third) divorce, shaming me for not having a surveyor as a relative or being trained in the military, how I should not be in the profession, etc (to be fair, it was the first time I worked any construction job and I was pretty bad at the job at first)

It honestly made me really nervous about going to work and working with him. He also told me not to find another surveying job since all the surveyors were like him and that all the other crew chiefs and RLS hated me. I don’t know if this was true as the other crew chiefs generally told me I was doing ok and the RLS were usually pretty nice and supportive.

But I also remember that when the whole department was working, he would constantly relate everything to sex. He’d often make sexual moaning sounds while using a hammer or mallet and I once saw him humping the ground.

I’m currently in a conservation corps, but as my year is coming to an end, I’m debating about re-entering the surveying profession, but my previous experience is giving me second thoughts.

Like is he telling the truth and this is the norm?
