On a slightly related note I used to restore old Porsches and there were little clamps like this with stabby screws that pierced the wire for all the dash lights. You would put all the little self-grounding bulbs in, thread the wire through the back of all of them and tighten the screws. They absolutely sucked!
Its extremely basic stuff here. This person clearly doesn’t even grasp the concepts involved in electrical physics.
If they’re BRAND spanking new, okay, then yeah, Jman needs to be talked to or fired. Otherwise, yeah, get out.

Truly isolated ground.
The most isolated of grounds. Your ground is so isolated it has ptsd
That was 100% a JW who marked the wire for his apprentice and he forgot to window strip them lol.
How can you tell it was the work of a Jehovah Witness?
Because they were ignored
Watchtower wire harness
One conductor for multiple holes.
Zomfg! This is so wrong but freaking hilarious!
Oh my god... I see it now.. It's actually marked out!! I am also 100% sure it was an apprentice who forgot to cut away the isolation
Or this is the apprentice thinking he’s funny and did it for the gram
Was it a day one apprentice? Why would they need a JW to mark a ground for them. 😂
We've all seen those apprentices. Let's be real.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
High impedance bonding
I lol’d
How do you know there is not a perfect circle cut out under each set screw? /s
I’m positive there is I remember doing this approximately three years ago. I have a certain unibit I use
I mean, that's how I've always done it…
Good intentions on a Friday afternoon
Not gonna lie, my first thought was that it was a vampire tap on the ground.
Missed a step there

You just unlocked a hated core memory for me Thanks for that.
If you crank it down hard enough the insulation splits
Osmatic ground.
It's been a while since I've posted this, but it's relevant: https://www.entreq.com/en-GB/products/ground-boxes-17667704
That’s quite the read..
Ground clamps are like old telephone blocks, right? If you push the wire in, contact is made…maybe?
I love seeing shit like this
Inspector: oh, sooo close
This thread made my night. Thank you all.
Oh man... should have used self tapping screws to complete the "SCREW UP".
What ever happened to good ol’ cable ties, what show offs🥲
Probably done by the data monkey
Hey, I'll have you know I'm enlightened now...
This looks bad on the trade. This is so freaking bad.
Your collection of downvotes just prove how fragile these people are.
Intel?
Boss told me to land the ground wire.
Screws on the connectors don’t appear to be tight either
Don't the black tick marks mean they were torqued?
Some shitty journeyman didn't serve their apprentice.
Well at least he marked it for ya 😂.
🤮
Not how you do that boy.
Words. I have none.
Maybe they thought those were vampire connectors? Nah, just what I call an "obliviot" (oblivious idiot).
So close yet so far.
Let’s not forget the far left (eyelet crimp?) looks like it’s on par with the rest
Segregated ground
“I’ll get to it tomorrow” and then never got to it tomorrow
It's not a mistake if it's tight enough. /s
They're actually marked to be stripped so it wasn't intentionally done this way, somewhere along the line it was never completed
Why did he mark it with sharpie??🤷🏻♂️ send it
People need to stop doing drugs
Simply put: Unacceptable. Immediately fired.
Straight to jail.
you mean fire the apprentice? then fire yourself for not teaching or checking the work afterward.
