Electricians QUIT Trashing Each Other and Build Up the Trade

The electrical community can be a force for good, or a place where we shred each other over methods, brands, and code takes. Today I’m asking us to slow down and look at why we react the way we do. ⚡ From regional practices to shop standards, many of us were trained to chase approval, apprentice to journeyman to master, and that approval loop can turn into ego. When we see a different technique (Wagos vs wirenuts, pre twist vs no pre twist, union vs non union), our reflex is to defend “our way” instead of comparing notes like pros.If you spot something off in a video, bring receipts. Cite code. Start a professional conversation. 🛠️ Better yet, DM with context instead of dunking for clout. Trolls build status by tearing others down, professionals build people up. Let’s model what we want the next generation to see: respectful critique, clear references, and a willingness to learn. 🤝Challenge for the day: leave one comment that helps someone. Ask a question, share a section number, or point to a spec sheet without the insult. Small habit, big ripple. 🚫If this resonates, pass it to the loudest voices on your crew. The trade gets better when we do.Want to learn more about becoming an electrician or mastering the craft? Visit ElectricianU.com for courses, resources, and everything you need to succeed!
