One things for certain and two things for sure, Ricky almost always have a very logical explanation for why he does what he does and I gotta say, I agree with him 95% of the time. 🤣🤣
I was waiting at the end for Ricky to tell the safety man he would be extending his break since it was interrupted by a work related conversation or something along those lines.
See, Safety Man is confused. Rickey didn’t “read” his text, he just cleared the notification. Sometimes technology cannot distinguish reality from expectation.
Reminds me of a place I used to work for. They thought it would be a good idea to consolidate every break per shift to a single 45 minute break per day. Said I had to sign paperwork which specifically stated "I agree with the changes of the break schedule" which I adamantly opposed. Told HR if they changed the wording to "would abide by changes" and I would sign it. Boy howdy, did that stir the pot! But i wasn't going to ever sign a paper saying I agreed to something that I had clear record of opposing. Long story short, they lost all their employees and had to shut the doors within a year after the change.
@@Dragon_Lair It appeared so. There was only 2 out almost 30 employees that willingly signed it. Layoffs and walk offs happened shortly after. My personal theory is the new owners of that shop only purchased the business to liquidate it. Which is exactly what happened in less than 2 years.
It's not about "safety". It's about who gets paid or not when people get hurt on the job. If you cut your hand and didn't wear gloves,but signed a JSA saying you gotta wear gloves- they ain't paying for squat. That's how companies get lower insurance rates. They couldn't give two healthy shits about whether or not you get home "safe".
Ding ding ding, we have a winner! This is exactly why I have such insulting language built right into my freight running contracts, if you come try to tell me how to do my job your either agreeing to do some very nasty shit very publicly, or you will be paying me the refusal fees that you agreed to when you brokered a load with me
I'm a butcher and I always say the 'cut-resistant' gloves don't work. When I ended up with five stitches one day, I was wearing the damn things. At the place I currently work at, I opted for the proper chain mail glove over top of their 'cut resistant' gloves and feel way safer knowing the knife won't cut through that one. I could care less about insurance when I need both hands to operate no matter what I'm doing.
Same shit at work really. For example, for all the covid bullshit my boss told us that he have to sign a waiver/agreement to get a covid vaccine. I simply told him no, because I don't agree with the waiver, or the agreement so I'm not going to be signing it. He then told me that he's going to suspend me until I do. Told him to take that up with HR and to get back with me about what she says. Well, I didn't get suspended, and I didn't sign that stupid bullshit.
Dude, I was supposed to sign that sheet every Tuesday morning at the meeting. Signed Abe Lincoln, George Washington, Mickey Mouse, donald duck etc. etc. took then over 2 years to figure it out. Lol Boss laughed his ass off!!
I have a special rune that I use that's literally just my initials fused together. Anyone has a problem with it? I'll show them how it's done. You could legally sign with an X if you wanted to.
Someone who thinks they are smarter than the system .... "Prove" isn't a standard, "prove beyond a reasonable doubt" is. Civil court doesn't even't have the prior two. A lawyer is going to ask "why is it we have every other workers signing their name and someone consistently signing a factious name around the time you signed you demonstrated by the time the other workers signed in and signed their name with your time in-between". You will lose your case and then perhaps face criminal charges.
John makes videos of things that almost every blue collar worker, thinks, imagines and wishes for, but would never actually do or say, so he invented Ricky and Roscoe for us to vicariously live out our fantasies with... thanks buddy! 👍🏼
I love this things! Safety first unless is messes with the schedule or profits. Funny how quick things change when profits are gone and a job starts to lose money.
I'm going to give him some credit here. He could have just mumbled insults under his breath and signed the safety sheet without even reading it (Like I would have). Instead he actually read at least part of it, and considered his position carefully before opting out. He could have blamed the text situation on the unpredictability of technology (Like I would have). Instead he owned the fact that he just didn't want to talk to the Safety Man. That's an honest guy right there, and folks, you can't fault honesty. Got your back, Ricky!
That is the up most polite go fudge off with signing the safety sheet I have ever seen I have ever seen. I know several, me included that would use every single cuss word known to man to explain why we didn’t sign it and I know a few that would just give the death stair and make the safety man go hide, in the next county.
Ricky speaks what's on his mind, that's how we all should be, to be able to freely express your true feelings without consequences,as long as you're doing it respectfully.
I’m in x-ray and contractors hate it when we don’t sign the safety sheets lol. Third party holmes, we take care of our own safety/JSA shit and bill you at the end of the shift for it lmfao.
Humm...had a NDT crew pull that on me. Did not have cell phone coverage at the job site. Sent them home and refused to sign the timesheet. Some how crew was under the impression they did not have to clear that with their boss. Wound up loosing their MSA with client company. And they were putting out 6 to 8 crews per day.
@@curtisstewart3179 I have never once in my entire career had to sign the contractors time sheets. Because NDT writes reports at the end of every shift and bills the contractor/client regardless of if we sign a time sheet or not lol. If we show up, you’re getting billed no matter what.
@@CthulhuTheGAWD Over half my career, 44 years, has been pushing or overseeing T&M work. With responsibility to sign and approve time sheets. And when a crew gets sent home because of safety, they get bupkis. What these guys did not understand and I don't know if they were fired, but their actions brought in company safety, the contractor was audited and their Master Service Agreement was revoked. They lost their ability to do work for the company. Don't know if they survived, didn't care.
@@curtisstewart3179 after rereading my comments, I realize I came off as arrogant. When I was typing it out in my head I wasn’t trying to be arrogant about it. All I meant was contractors get frustrated when we tell them we take care of our own safety stuff and our own timesheets. No matter what, even if I don’t sign the client’s or contractor’s time sheet, they are still getting billed at the end of the shift no matter what. That’s how we do our timesheets: by billing the client/contractor. X-ray is always third party anyways, we make our own records, billing, and timesheets.
Wait a damn minute, wait one damn minute! Safety guy worrying about the length of a floors workers break time & if he’s being punctual or not is absolutely ludicrous! Who’s this safety guy think he is, the damn keeper of break times or a SV?! No no no this is all wrong ok, every damn bit of it WRONG! 😆
Judging by some of these skits, it looks like Safety Man got a lot of the supervisor's responsibilities dumped on him and if that company is anything like the one I used to work for then there was no pay raise to go along with that bs.
My company has us fill out safety sheets every job. One of the very first questions is about feeling angry. I answer yes to that question every day. Because every day I have to get up and go to work I'm pissed off. One of the other things I put down on my safety sheet is the shear amount of deadly waves of stupidity I deal with.
I found out about turning off the Read feature when I broke up with my last gf. Totally worth reading the one and then getting lambasted for not replying. I was taking screenshots of everything and showing my buddies but she definitely didn't even realize I was still reading the texts after that first one lol
Ricky is just EPIC. After the first one was so unreasonable cuz of course he knew he wasn’t gonna make good choices he just said eff it and stopped reading lmao.
Best part of this is, they always find a way to *get* you by MAKING you sign a sheet that states you will agree to something, that you do not and probably never will agree with. Ricky is just a representation of all of us, and he’s the lucky one!
Signing those sheets is like agreeing to the end user agreement on software and services. The only service or software out there and they bend you over a barrel and slap your *%% for as long and as hard as they want to because they know you can't go anywhere else? Anyone else need a beer just thinking about this $#!t?
sounds like the stupid safety program where I work a bunch of folks sitting behind a desk who's only chance of a injury is a papercut or spilling hot coffee
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE your videos. Especially this one, I would LOVE to show this at our safety meeting Monday morning in front of 100 men, and as much as I am NOT offended by the language, (I swear) but I can’t show it due to company policy. Do you have any videos by the safety man that doesn’t contain the “f” word?
Ohh the first bullet point "Make good choices." That is so subjective. Disconnecting the backup alarm on machinery is totally a good choice. With dozens of them on the job site going off at anytime, and all the equipment running, who can hear anyone yelling at you to stop when you are about to run over the compressed gas cylinder that just fell off a truck that drove by.
Our general manager which is our safety guy called me this morning and asked me if I was going to be running the Exodus machine I said yes Carlos walked me through it he said well have you had any official training on that I said hell no we don't have official training on anything we just run it
"We want you to follow all the rules and do the right thing." "Yeah, but if you want this job done on time and under budget, corners are going to have to be cut." "Whatever, as long as we don't know about it."
I remember when I worked at Dollar General there was a morning we had to sign off on a box cutter safety rules sheet. I looked over the rules, turned to my assistant manager, and said "I have broken every single rule on this list"
OMG the horror of flashbacks.... JSA, TSTI, JHA, IHSA, then you had the whole tool check list, safety equipment checklist, equipment checklist, then had to check all safety showers, fire hoses, fire water and air lines both breatable air and equipment air, all scaffolding, ladders, yoyo's, electrical equipment... hell it was almost noon before you can even start to do any work and that is IF the both the safety man AND the site safety man(site safety man is like if you work for say xxx contractor and you work at say chevron so both your xxx and chevron safety man have to sign off on all forms and scaffolds)
