Join just a few of us as we finish prepping one of the last concrete jobs of this season. My patience finally ran out and I had to part ways with an old friend.
Ryan, how you reward your employees based on their performance is your decision. However, one thing for sure, and I believe I speak for most who follow you, Bugs certainly gets the "Employee of the Year" award!
agreed..all the people saying bugs need this or needs that is dangerous. because no matter who it is . The employee will start to resent the employer .if he can't meet the unrealistic expectations everyone els is setting.. Bugs is doing a damn good job and is fully compensated for it..anything extra is up to Ryan not us ..everyone these days thinks they deserve extra for doing the job they are paid to do..im not saying bugs doesn't deserve it.. because he does..
Bugz knows who butters his bread. He is wise enough to know a good thing and good boss he has. Ryan will always take care of him, and he knows it. Smart man!
Bugs is the kind of worker who cares about more than just showing up for work. I watch what he does and he wants a finished job he can put his name on as well as Victory. A good man. I would definitely hire him. Quality workmanship as well as quantity.
I literally don't know anything about the concrete business. Yet I'm binging on this channel since I found it. And I'm learning a lot too. Godspeed to the whole crew!
@Richard Cranium , I know I have worked in the dead of winter in the cold 🥶 and it's true on what you say, I was a framer building houses years ago in Colorado. Wasn't fun but I did it, the only thing I didn't like was being on the roof part putting down the sheets plywood that stuff gets wet and freezes if your not hooked to something off you go, and believe me it's happen to me. Ouch!!
Everyone’s talking about another bugs which is 100% true but what about another Ryan? You have to seriously have a cool and calm head to do all this and manage a team like this. It’s incredible.
I don’t even work in the trades, but I watch all the videos. I think Ryan has good moral values and is a good boss. The clean work he does just adds to the value of the video!
Can't recall how I started watching you this morning but it's been a couple of hours now and everything on production side of filming has been fantastic. Awesome commentary and great team.
Can't say I blame you. My patience would of ran out a long time ago. Onward and upward bro, keep the good content coming and God will see you through!!
My dad was a concrete contractor rand I worked with him for 20 years. When a worker does not show up it means the others have to work harder and it gets old quickly. Larry
You're pep talk was really helpful. Just started cleaning carpets at my apartment complex for extra cash. Since my car blew up and returned back to what I know. Thanks! Always love your videos.
Btw, Bugs is a rockstar, there's absolutelly no one like him as far as i know in Spain (from where i am), what a fanthastic guy, you are lucky to have him on board.
I wish I knew anything about concrete. It’d be a dream to have a boss like you Ryan. You’re kindness doesn’t go unlooked by your audience. It’s a shame.
@@Randomadventureswithpaul the best teacher in concrete is the good ol hands on experience, it can take years to master So you gotta find a boss willing to teach you a trade? They're rare
Hi Ryan , I'm from Scotland over the big pond ,,you would go down a bomb here with the way you treat your guys and your cheeky chat with them , guys here would do more work for you because your a genuine descent guy to your men , I love listening to you winding them up ,,,your more like a family than a workers if you know what i mean ,,,,I'm an electrical guy have tried what you guys do on a small area and i still make an arse of it ,, so keep the videos coming i need to go and check my youngest grandson he,s 5 little Alfie ,, Stay and all the best from Scotland
Seeing your set up on your trailer on last video and a little bit of your set up in your material truck was probably one of my favorite things I’ve seen. I’ve always found organizing trucks so interesting. One of the best set ups I’ve seen. Hopefully set up video comes soon!
Thank you Ryan for the great advice in dealing with negative people. Kudos to Bugs, a very reliant fellow. Too bad the other guys still recuperating over C-19. Miss seeing the other guys on the job.
the way you drop the crush and run so evenly that way your crew has to do the least amount of spreading by hand possible really does speak volumes to the type of boss and person you are
Bugs definitely deserves a raise. Always on time and he is honestly the best worker you have on the team (not including yourself) anyways you get what I mean. Keep up the great work victory!
@@polarisyamaha9 how so? None of that has changed just cause the dude is moving on. And it’s been over 2 years. Y’all are weird on the comments of these videos
The thing that kills me. I would die to have a boss as good and smart as you. People see that as a weakness and will take advantage of it. I swear I’ve watched so many of your vids and it really makes me wanna find a crew to get into.
My boss is just like Ryan, cool as heck their are people out like that to treat you right and not play games. You take care of them and they will do the same, but you do stuff like that no call, well your gonna get fired, I would have done the same thing as Ryan did and I have in the past. The thing is don't take advantage of the boss like that is kinda disrespectful. Well anyways yall have a bless day Ryan & Crew what's left of it for now hope things get better for the company and a new crew. Bug's is a dedicated team player give him a raise or make him a crew boss.
@@Cultofpersonality09129 You could be right. Ryan did seem a little off in this video. More disappointment than anything. I’m sure it’s rough, but he also has a business to run.
That speech at 17 minutes inspirational. Keep up the good work Ryan. Found you on Facebook and now i can't go a day without watch a few videos old and new HAPPY NEW YEARS
I'm glad you left it to him, to decide whether he wanted his job and how you handled it. It's a shame, unless your a completely different person away from the camera, I feel your a patient, reliable, kind, hard working , family man. Only so much you can do, praying you find a few more like Bugs! 👍UPDATE: I KNOW HE IS BACK, THANKS! NO NEED TO LET ME KNOW .
Ryan said in the last video Daryll isn't showing up and didn't answer his phone when called, and the other guys have letters from their doctors. So it's Daryll or Jr or both ... Jr has TicToc so maybe he said something about it . Anyway I feel like Sr let his son down, Jr was limited in his work ability and I really admired Ryan to have him work on the crew .
Man br my nephew has autism and what u said was messed up Jr couldn't help it. Wow I'm not offended because people get offended way to easily but your ignorance Is astounding. Maybe think a little I don't know
I don't subscribe 2 a lot of channels at all & I have been watching your videos for a while now and u sir r a gr8 boss and btwn u & Bugs Im now a proud subscriber 2 your channel
Mannn if I was in the area I'd be so proud to come work Victory Style with you and Bugs! Can't believe you have the issues that you do with guys showing up... They must not know what it's like out there with crabby impatient bosses, no bonuses, or no paid days off. I hate to see it, but you deserve a crew of Bugs like guys.
Like to know why he puts such little fill in just dusts it order more concrete instead and why cover in plastic when you want your base wet a dry base will suck the moisture out of the concrete and make it dry fast, the longer it takes for concrete to set the harder it gets why people hose it for days after that's when you use the plastic also wouldn't trust this guy as far as I could throw him and a good boss that pays good don't have to worry about his men showing up reminds me of a fly by night outfit
When I started following you I thought it was so cool that you hired daryls son and helped them out like that. No one else would do that. Way to say thanks Daryl. COME ONNNN
Daryl. Being fired has been a long time coming ever since I've started watching your channel at 6000 people. I just can't believe you've been nice as you have been as long as you were..
Sometimes People don't Respect how good they have it with a Great Boss until they don't have that job anymore then they will feel it once Friday Comes and No Paycheck. Kinda Sad But Business is Business and how long Can you Hold off and Keep Ignoring The Lack of Work Ethic When your Running a Business.. Which is Mighty Expensive Everyday Starting @6:15am 5 Days a Week Nah Man Not Good. Sometimes You Need to Do what's best for the Business and Move Forward.. Your a Great Man Ryan and they Took Total Advantage of Your Kindness and used it as a Crutch to Get Away with Being Too Comfortable instead of Being an " EMPLOYEE " They Used a " Friendship " as a " Get out of Jail Free Card " You did the Right Thing Brother You Need to Look out for #1.. Everything Happens for a Reason !
I wonder who was fired I noticed 2 people not their Eric and Francisco... I don't understand people who go to work late my thing is if your not early your late I'm never late I plan ahead . This man's an amazing boss I'd love to work with but I'm a diesel mechanic , I hate construction and concrete lol
That is some of the best most beautiful craftsman workmanship I ever see . What a beautiful driveway. Hats off to that company & the men. # 1 Skillful topnotch
I know im farly new to subing to this chanel but God Thank you for putting your chanel in my path! your family and all the people you have shared with us on your videos Have made so many of us smile so Thank you for sharing such experiace and life!
Your absolutely an inspiration. I’ve been a concrete tester and I know what you guys do is tough on those hot days. Keep your heads up. Pull forward and always.
Ryan you are a awesome boss, awesome husband and father. We all enjoy your videos. Thank you Sir. Big plus is that you love your country and that makes you a Patriot. God Bless you and your family.
Catching up every now and then, honestly been in construction my entire life and love it. I licensed in New Mexico about 12 years ago and it was the best and worst thing I have done. Best because you end up with better work and customers, worst because it is harder than anyone can tell you. I really find your 'motivational moments' insopring to keep moving ahead. It really is ahrd to stay positive when people are hating but you are 100% right, just have to keep moving forward and not look back. Leave the negative stuff in Jr High haha. Appreciate and love the work y'all do and thanks for the positivity boss 👊👊👊
Man I was always taught be the first to show up the last to leave, if I come in my first day and half the crew is already there I'm coming in earlier the next day. Also 10 no call no shows jeez you're a generous guy, any job I've ever had a no call no show is immediate termination.
Words I live by but I always show up super early on the first day then base it on what I see and if we hire new people and they come in before me I show up earlier the next day I always earn my own keys to konex since the boss always sees that I like to be ready to go right after the morning meeting and if I get my own crew they hate me because everyone else is in dicking around the box getting their gear and I'm driving off to the job site with my guys I earn my pay and always expect my crew to earn theirs as well otherwise they won't be on my crew for long
You screwed up big time Daryl. You have a great boss and you take him for granted. Know your son doesn't have any extra money. All you had to do was make a phone call or a text message.
I don’t know what generation all you guys that keep saying “Bugs needs a Bonus” are from, but it’s certainly one that expects things for nothing. I’m flabbergasted at the amount of people that think a guy needs a bonus to show up to work everyday. That’s his job!!
Sorry you have to go thru this Ryan. Started my own construction business and doing it all on my own so far, at 53 years old with a bum knee, except for my wife who markets and takes the call ins. If I had even one Bugs I could rock and roll. God Bless from Kentucky brother.
Great video, I have that 6' level/screed and it's pretty nice! Way to take the high road and not let the jealous haters bring you down to their level! True class act my friend!
Watching you now for 2+ a little bit years and after you just finished an enormous job, I realized how much Bugs has been the mist amazing, steady MVP every day! He such a solid..GREAT GUY, even his shoulder injury did not bury him…at his age, ( which coincidentally is my age)!!! He’s a beast and a half! I also have to acknowledge your grit and determination against so many obstacles! I really do believe that God loves your love of being who you are in the way he not only made you but in who you became because of it! THAT HAS TO PUT a mile wide smile on “his” face all day..everyday. It would me if I were HE… i know I am not, but it makes me happy to see it just the same. ☺️
Been a long time coming with Daryl. You let him get away with a lot and he knew that and took advantage of your kindness. He only has himself to blame. Addition by subtracting my friend.
It was Daryl . he said it has happened over 10 times this year alone . said he been down this road with him and knew he wouldn't answer when he called in the afternoon . the other two eric and Francisco have Dr notes . remember daryl came back to work sat .
@@Fisheiyy true but Erik should been fired a long time ago if we are to be honest dude is always late or doesn’t show up and he’s been late or haven’t came over 10 times as-well
Daryl looks like the kinda guy you fire a few times but tend to hire right back cause of his great attitude, or you’re short a CDL driver. Makes for great content though.
@@Niko-iq8bc yea they will totally walk over you afterwards, not right away but when they feel comfortable enough they’ll remember how there was no real consequence for their actions
I subsribed because of your passion for good work and your obvious good manner in which you treat your employees. Most guys would be cussing and putting down their employees but you sir are kind and humble. Keep up the great work and always put Jesus first.
Not even sure how I stumbled across your channel. I'm not even in the manual labor business but I love your videos and I really like the way you carry yourself and handle your crew. HUGE respect during the part where you said trash talking is what grown men don't do. Keep up the good work.
This didn't age well 😆 Man, I was so proud of you and excited for the new season without the headaches, but it's 100% your choice. Other than pulling out internet cables, ruining jobs, ruining the compactor, bever filling it with fuel, running late several times, he's done decent season of 2022...
I really like Ryan and wish him the best but I have to wonder what he pays his guys. The only time I remember seeing this kind of turn around is in very low paying jobs where the guy knows he can get the same or better anywhere. Also you won’t attract people that have dependents if you don’t pay a living wage.
Absolutely love watching your videos and it saddens me when people don’t show me and my dad would both love to live in Wisconsin and my dad could work for victory he wouldn’t let Ryan down some people don’t have loyalty or respect unfortunately love from England ❤️😃
New subscriber to your channel sir.... im taken aback of your conduct of not being a boss but being a LEADER!!!!! side note i love that grey hat with the flags colors on the net... wish i can get one much respect from TRINIDAD 🇹🇹
Can you just hire another Bugs? He does the work of 4 people, shows up on time, and does excellent work. Edit: I just heard your piece of advice about success and trash-talkers. I had my first experience with that recently. I didn't realize the jealousy would come from my best friend though, kind of caught me off guard. Time for some new friends I guess. Just keep working!
I’m not sure if you want to mess with Ryan😂! Dude can beat the crap out of someone! Dude is a kick boxer, keep your distance and don’t mess with him face to face.
It’s always family and friends man I’m serious.. the only ppl in my whole family I still consider blood is my mom, brother, sisters, and gparents.. the rest of em got jealous and envious when I started trying to get my shii together.. just do you and keep your circle small fam !!
Hi Ryan shout out from Jason's landscaping from Coldwater MI. Thank you for your great videos. and thank you for helping me keeping going Though my season. God bless And stay safe sir.
Let the man live, don’t forget there is another person on the other side of the screen. I have no clue whats happening but I wish D+DJ all the best, sucks it had to end this way, but life goes on...
