Just a stagehand in Vancouver, tweeting about the stuff that happens in town. Stuff that would probably get me fired.

Let’s take a minute and appreciate all the techs that make campaigning in weird places possible! Middle of a field and you want a mic? Okay!

people are complaining a theatre company is raising ticket prices when they know there is demand? It's like they're running a business.

So really, is extending a call from 5 to 6 hours worth the meal break? Where you only get a half hour more of work?

You want someone to work for you for 13 hours with no pay running LX,Audio and video? Hire someone for 200 instead. vancouver.craigslist.ca/van/…

A project comprised of "good enough" parts will never be good enough.

I don't know who had the bright idea to gaff tape all the cables into this rack, but I'm going to fire you when I figure it out.

If you’re putting on a show, it is never okay to not pay your suporting acts, techs, and members of production. Even if for a good cause.

"Happy to have a job" and "that's the business" are not valid reasons. Could have easily had a break half way in the shift with no impact.

Oh look meal break penalty after specifically telling them. FFS

And/or questions of loyalty or committment?
Why is it so difficult to understand that after 5 hours of work in BC a worker gets a meal break. And any discussion is met with hostility.

Hey Rigger, complaining at other techs who aren't in charge won't gain you any friends- they want to go home too.

Even if they paid 18/h for 2 hours a night for the run it would be about 400 dollars.
really, this position would normally be at least 18/h for four hours. vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/v…

@JTH9945 I hear that, and I’m usually alright with one time infractions, but this company makes a habit out of it.
I wonder if I’m going to have my legally mandated meal break today? For reference it’s after five hours in bc
