Wish I never listened to that senior tech about grounding blocks

Last Tuesday I had this old timer tell me I didn't need to ground the block on a new house install since the cable was already bonded at the tap. First service call back was a fried modem and a customer yelling about lightning damage. Now my supervisor has me redoing that entire job and writing up what happened. Any of you guys ever get bad advice from someone with 20 years on the job?

So did he at least buy you a beer after you had to eat crow on that one?

Man, the closest I got was him buying a round for the whole group like two weeks later, but I’m pretty sure that was just his normal Tuesday thing. I still think about that argument sometimes, idk why it stuck with me so long.
