It's time dude.....we need another segment towards learning whether Ricky is the boss.....Don't let us down now. We're all counting on your to make it happen.
As a sparky, I hate troubleshooting month on highrises. It always fun trying to fish a wire through a finished wall because dipshit McGee forgot that lights need power, and he didn't pull a wire from the lights to the switch. Worse still, cause rough in was months ago on a tower, dipshit McGee isn't even around to take the piss out of. He's on some other tower making more future messes.
@ptemporal as a reefer tech you sparkys don't really work too hard. The electricians walk on my copper lines and force me to braze them back together. Electricians are like white women in America. The biggest cry babies and the most entitled.
This one has all the possibilities of being a subtle way of establishing Ricky as the company owner. The Ricky's of the world don't usually go in on their own time and take care of business unless they have a vested concern.
You know what? He probably isn't broke. He probably doesn't have child support to pay. He can afford to break other people's stuff and only come to work when he feels like it. But you know what I've noticed? Despite everything he's broken in his career, he's one of the most competent people on the job site. Boss man might be better, but he hardly does anything so we never know. Roscoe is and old, experienced hand, but I think there's a chance Ricky could beat him in a weld off. Listen to me talking about these characters like they're actually different people...
I argue to differ. He doesn't have to be nice, but he should understand. That the only way for Jimmy to learn, is if he loses a finger, or two while gaining experience.
We also need more Pablo, awesome you’re back to doing it almost everyday. After a 10 hour day this is what I look forward to when I get home. A cigarette and a drink watching this. You make my work day stress just BOOM gone. Hope you’re living well
Ricky is nuthin' but a bona-fide sociopath. He got lucky with this one. Let's not forget how many times HE has fucked up: - Tore into an underground powerline with a trencher - Flipped a full-size excavator, upside-down, into the hole he was digging - Set a BRAND NEW excavator on fire - Pissed off Roscoe to the point where Roscoe beat him like a red-headed stepchild - CONSISTENTLY ignores valid safety for no other reason than to piss off the safety man - paid an office worker to switch his phone number with the company owner's just to make the safety man think Ricky was secretly the owner (okay, that one was actually pretty cool and funny as Hell, BUT YOU GET MY POINT) 🤣🤪😆😂😝😄😅😜😈
I will say there’s one exception to this rule…if you are working with a green apprentice be patient and help teach them. Some people learn tips and tricks of a trade from family or school opportunities but some people have no idea what they’re doing and are just trying to make a paycheck for themselves and/or their families. Just do your best to teach them what you know and try to think of yourself when you first started and how little you knew. And apprentices, listen to your coworkers. If a guys been doing a job for 26 years and he’s telling you anything he’s speaking from experience and even though they might not have the nicest tone, they’re trying to save you and everyone else time and effort
Oh yeah. The thing is we can fix ignorance, but we can't fix stupid. You are allowed to screw up.... once. After that, we should never see that screw up from you again... you know better.
@@NickGreyden I run by the three strikes rule personally. I’ll give you a couple tries, maybe I explained something in a way the kid didn’t understand or he didn’t see exactly how I did something when I was showing him. But yeah after I show you what to do and supervise and assist you doing the task twice…if you keep messing up after that you need more help than I can give you lol
@lilboogie9812 100% I'm a Forever Trainer and patience is key. So is allowing them to make mistakes. Three strikes is usually a good way to go about it; if they don't learn by the fourth it's usually one of two things. 1: they don't want to learn 2: they *can't* learn (rare) I've taken men who were completely ignorant of the work and environment and turned them into power houses of awesome. But they have to want it.
I like the see one, do one, teach one method whenever I can. They see me do it, and I explain everything. Then, walk them through them doing it. Finally, get them to "teach" me what they're doing and how/why they're doing it as though they were showing a new guy. It usually exposes problems with communication and knowledge that can be corrected now rather than later.
No body cut me any slack when I was a green helper. They would send me after the wrong bolts and then bitch about what I brought back lol. I started being em what they asked for AND what they really needed lol. I learned it fast too hahah.
This one's so good, I had to play it twice in a row 😂. I have to show this one to so many people. I know my boss, and a couple of co-workers will love it
The conversation with the engineer reminds me of when the Sikorsky reps came over to tell us troops (I was in a company that was responsible for maintaining Hueys). They actually LISTENED to the Helicopter Repairers (Army lingo for Mechanic)... most repairs could be done with a toolbox, they tried to minimize the number of different bolt sizes, etc. Engineers SHOULD do that more. At the Lockheed Skunk Works, the engineers and fabricators / mechanics worked right next to each other. And look what happened to Boeing when they decided to move all of the bean counters (I have to much respect for good Executives to refer to them as such) to Chicago... because they'd always been in Washington with the mechanics & engineers before that. OK, I gut WAY to serious over humor again. My bad.😏
Unfortunately lockheed has strayed from that ideal. One of the current products assumes you have access to a fully charged and updated laptop and have mindset of a computer programmer just so you can go out and check some strut pressures.
As a supervisor, I once told someone near the exact words at 1:19 . OT was prohibited unless of course someone decided to be a self centered ahole and take time off at the drop of a hat. This particular site and job was extremely difficult to find people for and the people we had were aholes who would come in whenever they felt like it because they knew we couldn't fire them. I had one asshat I told, "Hey, I don't mind that you guys take off. You're making me a very rich man. Making near 5k a paycheck because you aholes want to fk up so much all the time. So, please keep it up. I gotta pay off my car note next month." They turned around and complained how they couldn't pay their bills and that we were racist because we didn't ever give them hrs. Lol
Work has two options here: 1. A "safe space" with a bunch of people who don't know what they're doing. 2. An aggressive sarcastic space with a bunch of seasoned professionals.
You def have some talent! I enjoy watching these videos. The burns you come up with are insane and just roll off your tongue. You can tell just by how many bodies u come out with always fresh shit!
Wow, I have a hunch, this episode is an aftermath of recent events on the job. Im with Ricky on this one. Unfortunately, I'm the one who always has to fix someone's else fuck ups at work coz those dumb SOBs cannot do stuff right, so I feel him.
Ricky is me at my job every single goddam day of the week 🤦🏾♂️ I haven't even taken vacation or days for in years because of these fu##s Thanks for the laugh though it helps with the stress ..... fu##Ed up my anxiety level but I'll be OK
When I used to work in the lumber mills I was called up to the office by HR to account for some of the things the HR lady had heard me yelling at some of my coworkers. She asked if I hated them or something and I had to explain that no I liked them, they where friends of mine then she asked what do I say to people I don't like then? Simple, I said, I say nothing to them.
Ricky hit the nail right on the head! The people who get paid too much, aka “Jimmy, despite their actual skill set, make the people who actually know what their doing, aka Ricky, work way harder than they get paid to. You Ricky to be happier? Pay him double what he gets because now his job is fixing others mistakes! Where does the company find the money to pay him? Take it from the guys who are causing the mistakes he’s fixing!
This hit the mark on the spot. I'm a really nice guy, but I'm only a jerk when i keep getting called over to either fix something somebody screwed up or me teaching them how to do their job. Some cant understand why pur clients ask for me by name because i know when to rush and what points to slow down and do it right the first time. The guys give me side stares all they want when the one person who actually got a tip, and it was 150 bucks in my pocket.
Ricky is right people should know how to do there job correctly I end up doing 90 percent of my coworkers work because they can never do it right because nobody is trained properly these days. Hit the nail on the head Ricky I would be nicer too if I didn't have to do 8 plus peoples jobs for them but only get paid for my hours
I understand where Ricky is coming from. I have low expectations for people I just expect them to do their job properly. Nothing is worse than having to fix up someone else's mess
100% with Ricky! I CONSTANTLY redo or just do stuff that others are either supposed to or jacked up! Don't tell me to be nice when their incompetent a$$es cause me grief
I'm with Ricky on this one, I've had several jobs I worked on in the past where I had to fix other peoples fuck ups and got grouchy over it happening continuously, and I'M THE ONE THAT GOT REPRIMANDED.
