Well, I have asked him to buy me a phone that comes with text messages/email that we can commuicate from jobsite to his office. He said it's too expensive and won't buy it. WTH? I mean, I have been through school for electrical techonolgy and deserve it so much. I have already proven to my boss that I wired a house alone and that the inspection passed. I feel it's not fair; I guess he treats me like shit because I'm disabled. I asked him a question about ADA and if he knew about it, and he asked, "What is ADA?" I gave him ADA papers that I printed out and he said he didn't have time to read everything. I said ok and move on. I think he's just an old school man.

I'm rewording this so I can understand what is being said.

Okay, I see many issues here, never mind the fact that the subject jumps all over the place.

But, I will focus on the new truck. zerO, you don't say how much experience you have, nor do you say if you are an apprentice. If you are an apprentice (learning on the job as well as what you learned in school), hiring you was a tax break for him. That money can be used for whatever he wants. He could have given you a raise in salary, but again, you don't say how long you've been working for him and he's entitled to do anything he wants.
