@@chriscahill1005 Pretty much the same here, the only excuse for my co-workers to get hurt is for the sake of my lols. ... actually, considering how many times I fucked them up with culinary experiments there might be some truth to that.
I hate one of the welders on my crew witha burning passion, I would not cross the road to piss on him if he were on fire. But I'll be damned if I'll let the over bosses fuck with him for anything else than his personality.
I’d buy a sticker about “crying under your welding helmet like everyone else” if you wanna print something 👍 thanks for the content. Goofy job site shit cracks me up.
Same. When I heard about the crying under the welding hood part I didn't know if I wanted to laugh hysterically or weep bitterly. On one hand that is funny! But on the other I do remember crying sometimes in my company vehicle. Hit a little close to home you know.
It's too bad nurses don't have welding helmets. I've been known to start crying the moment I walked off the elevator onto my unit. You can't walk around crying (it's unbelievably unprofessional) and we don't have hoods. I just had to grit it back... until I left that twisted place with a floor supervisor that caused 6 of us to leave in like 6 weeks. I was the first, and I opened the flood gates apparently. I might could've tolerated that $h!+ show of a unit, If I could've had a good cry (or at least made faces at people) under a hood.😏
@@dgeneeknapp3168 I'm sorry to hear it. I hope you are doing better. Your story reminds me of a video about emergency response getting a new nurse, and the entire team was crying in the open like it was another day on the job.
@@patrickcalip948 We can cry our eyes out over patient care...but not the general hellish nature of management. It can get you petted. It didn't for me. I had a small boy (despite making it a point to work ONLY with adults...it's important to know your weaknesses), that had femur surgery for cancer. I didn't like the patient controlled Morphine doses. They tried to make me feel good about it (due to the boy's history), but I was concerned. I was doing the constant vital signs and observations after the protocol ended. I caught that kid letting out a final breath and begin to turn blue. I called a code, while he still had a pulse and fisher price blood pressure. After riding the stretcher to ICU and doing compressions and getting him transferred to the ICU, I returned to the floor to finish my shift and go home. A coworker put her hand on my shoulder and asked how I was. I completely lost it. My husband had to come get me. Can you believe I was given the business about breaking down? The hospital had zero pediatric equipment, doctors, and knowledge, but there that kid was. It was all about the $$$. When it ALMOST ended in catastrophe (I say ALMOST, because SOMEONE kept it from being fatal... someone, I WONDER who?🤔😏), they went on the warpath to try to throw ME under the bus. I had the least authority and control and the most to do with the prevention of death. I had to leave. The next floor was managed by someone so bad that 5 others left after me. Oh, the manager that threw me under the bus was known by other nurses at the next facility as a complete whacko. She actually told me to NOT to do so many vital signs... because it "makes us look like we're too busy and short staffed." Those were vital signs that WERE ORDERED by doctors. Imagine if something happened, and it could be shown I didn't follow doctor's orders. Believe it or not these managers are RNs too. I didn't have trouble with the rigors of the pandemic. That's just nursing. The floor is short staffed because people are ill. Common thing. The floors are full. Common thing. You don't get lunch. Common thing. I tend to think it's the younger staff that was losing their minds. They got used to 4-5 patients and wound up with 8. That used to be my nearly every day. Night shift would have 10. For me, it's always been the rotten nurse managers that I couldn't handle. I can handle about anything that is inherent to nursing, but managers are something no amount of training, expertise or even experience can help with. Just when you think you have seen EVERY neurotic, half assed, incompetent type of manager, you get one that makes every other insane woman look much more capable. 🙄
Been using that since they started taking over the alphabet, 1% of the population really needs to drop the bs cuz soon as I’m paying 15 bucks for a gallon a gas there’s going to be free “pride” broken jaws getting handed out every day
Especially since like...yeah you got gloves on for safety but if you can't see through your tears you're still gonna cut your finger off with that torch. Bad mental health is more dangerous than power tools and heavy equipment. If someone thinks they're immune from it then hell they're probably part of the problem.
@@StevenPitts It has been a while, but people in relationship issues did account for about 1/3rd of our reportable accidents, and more like 60% of them if you removed the 25 and younger age bracket.
Don't get me started on jobsite mental health. I apprenticed for some of the craziest sparks imaginable. I never could forget the look in the eyes. Nearly died working with a few of them loonies that couldn't show up sober. Addiction is a terrible thing but some of them guys were dangerous to work with. Even had one foreman tell me he was going to only pay me in painkillers. When I refused to be part of that he got pissed I wouldn't play along for his addictions. You'd have to live it to believe it. Actually pisses me off remembering that he was insane enough to say that to me. I don't care what you do just don't drag me into it. Construction is stressful enough let alone working for a guy strung out on painkillers and steroids ohhh boy lookout for that guy.
"We don't like each other but we care about each other" that pretty much describes my job may not like my coworkers but if them mfs don't show up I gotta pick up the slack so I always try and make sure they doing alright and feel welcome
Correction officer. Night shift. Max security prison. Yep this describes my coworkers almost perfectly. I might think you're stupid enough to wave bye-bye whenever you flush a toilet, but I will run across the campus to stand in a cloud of pepper spray and get my butt beaten next to you. I'll call you 9 kinds of stupid in the parking lot or the hospital later.
Shout out for men's mental health. Never just "suck it up" bro down and get help or keep an eye on your mates. I've lost two good friends to suicide don't want to lose anyone else.
This is real construction crews, and I love it. My dad worked construction, and I grew up around the crew and their humor. The only reason I don't do it now is because he made me promise I wouldn't do construction work as my regular 9-5. He didn't want his only daughter to work like that for a living. I respect that, and that's why I work for the local government. I still get to be outside all day, I still have the freedom to do construction on site when it's needed, but I'm not breaking my promise to my father. Win, win for me. LoL.
Having spent a couple of hours hanging the full spectrum of pride flags around an Amazon fulfilment center I can 100% confirm the corporate out look on June.
Do not, and I repeat, do not try that on your wife Safety Man. Trying to use psychological gimmicks on women is like trying to put out a fire with gasoline. Its going to blow up in your face lol.
Yep. I was right. It's fucking nauseating. 53.2 suicides per 100,000 trades workers, with deaths by suicide five times higher than all construction deaths combined.
I believe it, I haven't been working in trades long, but in short years I've been working in them I've known two people who killed themselves. it's extremely surreal how little most companies care about this, it's just another day for them.
Problem being that people refer to that time the guy at starbucks gave them the wrong latte, misspelled their names AND misgendered them as something that gave them ptsd, and the term has been diluted from things like, you know, shell shock, seeing people die in accidents, or being an actual victim of real lifealtering crimes. But yeah. I try to be honest about my mental state to colleauges, especially new guys. Like when I do something and I'm a little scared, I tell them: This shit is scary, I know I can do it safely, but it's still scary, and I want it to stay bscary so I keep paying attention, so we can al go home today alive with all of our fingers
Thanks to all veterans who have proudly served and are having their PTSD awareness month overlooked by pride month.. 😤 vets are so under appreciated, under recognized and not respected like they should be for allowing us to even be able to preach this pride stuff. Try doing that in our enemies countries and see how that flies… thank you vets 🇺🇸❤️
At work, it’s just like a real family…we don’t have to enjoy each other all the time. Hell we don’t have to like each other but we’re here to get it done and rinse repeat tomorrow. Even when i want to kick the ladder out from under you, i don’t want you fall on your own and be damned if we let an outsider have negativity about one of us. It can get real, real quick 😂
I was just falsely accused of sexual harassment at work today. The fact that its actually mens mental health month is absolutely hilarious to me right now.
Yeah crazy people use that as a weapon. Find the person and sue them. They will back down in a hurry. Nothing says "get off of me" like a civil lawsuit.
This was a wild ride, I'm glad I watched it lol Finally some validation for being the guy that tries to make sure everybody knows they're worth it and if we ain't good, the work ain't gonna be good, so we all better look out for each other.
I'm pretty certain that being black during "Black history/appreciation month" is the same experience. I still want those Lockheed-Martin rainbow pride socks damn't.
Dude that was spot on. Toolbox meeting during pride month was hilarious. I had a bf when pride month started nobody cared, after the first meeting I had to actually talk about my sexual orientation and it was tear jerking.
Wtf🤷🏻♂️that seems a bit much right??!! That's terribly embarrassing for some........and ur answer to the question of ur sexual preference was "ur mom"??!!
@@phillipmargrave Exactly, it runined some of my relations with co-workers since they couldnt handle the fact that im normal and had a bf. plus they didnt want to know if I did either. Really didnt feel like sharing but I couldnt stop laughing when I did.
One thing u can count on for a gay co worker, either a. Work space will be organized, b. They will bring or invite you over for their home cooking/baking, c. They will know more alcoholic beverages than you and will recommend what would be best for you. And the men's mental health, hammer and nail my guy.
As the Alphabet People Ambassador to the Great State of Arkansas I must say this was great 🏳️🌈 We appreciate the 11 month cycle checkin by your company and we look forward to your mental health awareness updates as the month continues. Stay Healthy, Wealthy, and WISE! #LetsGetBeerTacosQuesadillas
@@Neighbor-assistantYN is it bad that I want to gtfo california for Arknsas or ANY state that isn't new york, california, washington, illinois, colorado, etc? Yeah Californian here, can't stand the fact that the people here would vote themselves out a house and home and meals for entire months at a time if it meant that their feelings remained unhurt >.>
The phrase "alphabet people" or "algebra people" is an insult.. it's like saying somebody with autism is just missing a piece of their puzzle which is why they don't think and act like normal people.. just say LGBTQ or gay.
@@spectre2466 once they stop adding new letters and symbols, maybe I'll bother with remembering their acronym. Until then, well, if saying that's a slur I guess there's no harm in saying worse ones.
R.I.P. Safety Man. You were making great progress on the job site, but on the homefront you fucked up with the reverse psychology on the wife. The law can't prove she did you in but we all know it. Thanks for the fun times and attempting (and failing miserably might i add) to keep us all safe!
Lol hit the nail on the head. Got a note (not a discipline) that I missed 12 days in the last year. Including covid sick days, days missed due to brother passing away. And more. But don't come to work sick. Or unable to work
Never had that experience while my 12 year career in industrial. As a bisexual that was okay by me. Dealt with those who gave a damn about who I slept with and then those who didn’t. The ones who made decisions didn’t bother me. Although when I had my partner come out to middle of nowhere from back home gossip ensued around deep east TX. That being said I didn’t bother explaining myself to anyone even those who on their own accord came up to me at work and asked me and I said that has nothing to do with work but they assured me they had my back if anyone decided to make an issue out of it. 🤷🏻♂️ said “I appreciate that but lets get back to work”. Then again some jobs others threatened to lynch me and they found out by those friends for those threats against me. It happens lets be real but youre spot on about companies only using it for cover. Anyways love your videos I get a laugh out of it and most others don’t understand it as I transitioned into consulting but it sure does remind me of the good times just sitting on iron or slugging it through the rain overnight pulling in distributor (utility) cables off a giant spool 🧵 truck or reaming rigid pipe (pun intended). Hell someone just asked me why I had a hard hat hook and a job box still in my truck and I said it is always good to have a trade never know if it hits the fan and you need work always stay prepared. Stay safe out there and keep on keeping on yall are the back bone of our infrastructure and manufacturing without y’all in construction and energy none of this is possible I know it and yall do too. Shout out to my fellow ⚡️out there
I'll be damned if this ain't about the truest thing I've ever seen. Been many a times I've stayed late on a site just to hang out with guys after I got divorced. Might not always like each other but we do care. After all you spend more time with the guys at work than your own family a lot of the time. Spot on.
I watch out for the guys I'm working with because my safety depends on them and their safety depends on me unfortunately our safety guy sees a differently
Safetyman! I don't ordinarily root for you, but you went above and beyond the call of duty today. All that's going to go out the window by lunch, but at least for the next few hours, you can feel good that you took the W.
I just found this channel by chance when an old vid was on my recommended feed. This is the single most funniest shit I have ever seen. I'm calling "Ricky for Prez 2024". lol
you know even those safety man did it in reverse psychology way he does bring up a good point about how companies don't seem to really care about employees mental health and even men especially sometimes. at the company I work at which I won't name because my broke ass definitely can't be getting sued by a multi-billion dollar company, I made one of those typical innocuous statement followed up by I'd kill myself jokes you know just one of those dumb goofing around with someone like or if the bucks lose the game this weekend I'll kill myself I know it's not the best type of joke but it's meant to be ridiculous but I was told by one of my management team that I didn't need to be making jokes like that because stuff like that could get me fired now if he meant making fun of suicide would get you fired I understand but he was saying if I give them reason to think I was actually suicidal I'd be fired which I immediately in my head thought what's a really good way to push someone who's suicidal over the edge oh right telling them that if they try to come to you about being suicidal or give hints then you'll fire them for it
I think I understood that paragraph. My interpretation to "if an employee admits their having enough of an emotional breakdown moment they admit about suicidal thoughts they are fired immediately." That is the company thinking 100% about its liability for itself and how it may have knowingly been the cause from its job environment. Sad thing is without a ton of money to threaten them with a lawsuit to change their ways they win.
@@dragonsword7370 I will admit I'm not 100% sure that was the meaning but it was stated in such an offhanded way that the possibility of interpretation and the fact that he was just a single sentence statement quickly thrown out there can easily lead you down that road and to be fair some of the stuff the company's done I could see it
Being Mr. mom for the last 6 months, I have to say you get me that bs fuck around at work feel every time I watch a clip. Keep it good and F these gas prices I still ain't going electric 😀
More people need to be told to suck it the ef up! A lot of people seem to be playing how to get me a pitty party! it is disgusting! If someone really needs help it would become obvious after the people wanting a pity party stopped being babied!
