scottsdad Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 The wife had a meeting with someone she hadn't seen in a while, and they started off being complimentary about each other ( "You've lost weight, like your haircut..." ). And so on Today I saw a mate at work I hadn't seen in a couple of weeks. He started with: "I pulled a stomach muscle when sneezing. It's fucking agony, I can't even take a shit" 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he was angling for me to carry him like the days before he grew a fucking beard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Alli Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 A boy from the Army recently joined my work as a trainee. He's a sound lad but he's a little work shy, shall we say. Today I discovered that he isn't actually work shy at all. He just needs told what, when, where and why. He rarely asks questions or looks I terested but you push him into it and tell him why it's done and how and he's basically one of the best set of hands I've had in my years of labourers/trainees. It's fucking wild what the Army does to folk. I was told a few weeks back he asks to week with me because it's boring with others. I thought I made it a laugh and enjoyable. Maybe he just likes getting told what to do. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really a great surprise when you consider how many of them can't do basic things like paying their own bills etc when they leave the military cause they have had it all done for them up until then. Pretty much taught not to think for themselves, just do what they are told and not question it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekhibee88 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 I quite often get colleagues telling what me what to do despite me knowing or just about to do it. The place is full of ex managers from old works so I guess they cant shake it off. I always thought its because I look unsure and quiet. Can get annoying and nearly said something . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a constant issue with people from other teams telling us, or worse, other people what our team does. "But X said you could do this" Aye well X doesn't know what they are talking about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoying in or out of work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he just likes getting told what to do. My old boss from about a decade ago was ex-Royal Engineers and his work ethic was unreal. His thought process when going into any job was always well thought out, logical and made perfect sense. It's kind of rubbed off on me too, if I have to go to a site I'm there sharp, having planned and prepped and made sure I've got everything I need to complete the job and I plan for if I won't finish the job or run into issues or problems when I'm there. That all sounds like common sense, but for the majority of gimps I've worked with, in various jobs over the years, it isn't. You'd be amazed how many folk would go to a job alone or with me, and be completely underprepared for it, run into issues and have to go back another day to finish it. When I worked with this guy from the Army that never happened once, nor does it ever happen to me when I'm on a solo trip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every morning, is like a 30 man new recruits Monday, nobody knows what to do, no plan no f**k all. I've worked in 6 different places here, they are all the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
