Hardworking Folk Community blog

A place for everybody who works in the trenches maintaining and engineering modern society and keep our world running. Discuss work, share stories, and relate.

Most of the time we are invisible, but we keep the world running. You see our trucks driving down the freeway full of cargo, on the way to repair the infrastructure of civilization, fixing those roads, building homes, offices, retail outlets, maintaining and improving those same buildings. We get power, water, and telecommunications to you. You call us when something breaks.

If the above describes you, welcome. You have found a group of people who like talking shop. Share your experiences, your frustrations, your successes, and even your failures. Help fellow hardworking folk out if they have questions or need advice.

And we all want to see pictures of your job sites, the facility you maintain, and all the interesting stuff you see from our unique vantage points. So post some pictures and tell us about them.

If not don’t hesitate to post a story with questions and comments. While we tend to be invisible and working sometimes thankless jobs, we are good hardworking people who would be happy to talk with you.
