Friday Night Rants?

[dangerous]

OK...SO... I yes I got in the shit at work friday right, I knowwww me WTF...

so and I still cant believe this fucking shit... I rocked up to one of our build sites and there was a bench saw there doing nothing and the boys on my site needed one for a quick job that only a bench saw could do... the forman there was at a training corse so I text him "flogged ya bench saw ta" any way bit of banter then he winged to the boss like young people do thees days sooo fucking precious...

The boss said my txt was unnecessary WTF I thought it was polite to let him know were it was... So I confronted him said "sorry if my txt offended what was it i said wrong"... he said "you said floged" ohhhh I say "sorry ill say borrowed next time"...

any ways out for grub last night with a copper friend and I was telling her... she says "FUCK D flogged is a black slave conertation".... I said "FUCK OFF its a kiwi slang term for nicked, stole, pinched"... obviously i was borrowing it cant steel whats ya own...

shit really... has it become this sad...

I fucking give up... ok so one of my rolls is health n safety... so for the third time I asked a worker to take his jandles... sorry I mean sneakers off and put safety boots on right... well he lost it, apparently Im some sort of cunt nobody likes and he told me several times to fuck off... as if Im bloody deff and didnt here the first time...

well he works for the same company so I bleated to the boss ... hey its the boss that will tune the fuck out of me if this guy is caught by a hierarchy, cos I didnt sort it... BUT NO instead the boss tears me a new one cos Im not to police the sites we run but II should have sat said fuck face down and discussed politely how come he wont wear safety boots... is it cos he finds them uncomfortable, is it the colour of them, are the laces to tight... WHAT THE FUCK AM I A PSYCHAIST NOW ...

Why oh why are people so god damn fucking precious these days, softer than a limp jelly fish... fuck its sad... the worlds fucked, maybe covid here to sort the week out...

Bourbon, nice, I could do with one right now

I feel your pain, as I've got similar problems. Whenever some folks get precious about not wanting to follow basic rules, then get into rants about if you make me do this or that then I'll leave...we're not to respond in what I consider the appropriate fashion, as in sod off then. Instead we are expected to calmly listen to them, and "encourage" them to work within them basic rules Makes me think I should have stayed on as a gigolo

I know this so well......

you cant hurt their feelings or insult their intelligence (or lack of it)

but they can not turn up, damage parts/gear take time off, take hours in the shithouse on the phone. Not wear safety gear.

aparantly you have to have meetings to discuss and record it.
Give them several chances to redeem any issues....

and if they leave there a numerous others available to take their place. ��


You will grind your teeth.
trust me I know.

one of the reasons why I ride with some others, usually longer rides, to get away from THEM, with like minded people

The louder they get the less they know.

...I just punch cunts that fuck with me...that's why I've never been of the employable type...

...forty eight years on the hammer and chisels and fucking good at the game...earthquakes didn't only rattle the earth...they rattled the coffers of a bunch of corrupt and lost officials and bureaucrats...nek minnet...scumfuck Fletcher and Gerry and greased fingers, fucked up what old school values that we had left...

...good rant D...

[Dean]

no...noooo, I blame the black loving girls..

Sorry to say but we’ve been giving kiwi blokes part Maori grandkids since day dot.

[ellipsis]

since day dot.

...is that like the instant of the big bang theory...or closer in the scheme of irregularities in the universe...

[Kickaha]

apparently Im some sort of cunt nobody likes

He got that bit right

Don't just tell your boss, do an email in that mangled up shit you speak so there's a paper trail when it really turns to custard

Oh yes, do that myself and it works.
Sometimes it doesn't even take long for shit to hit the fan, then I can use a PC version of I told you so...

100% agree along with the paper trail
sum up your ear bashing from your boss in a email back to him.
titled just to clear up the process you now want me to follow when an employee doesn't adhere to company or industry safety policies in the future.
the other thing you need to do is get in first so after you give the guy the verbal for his ppe etc get what it was about on record as an email or near miss etc before he millennial whinges about his feelings getting hurt about having to follow the rules.
The best way to get people to do PPE or other stuff is peer pressure if someone is not following the rules tell the rest they will have to sit through the boring 2 hour to 1/2 day safety coarse of lecture re-education as a few of the team are not towing the line.
A few companies have tried this with drug test failures in logging so the whole crew has to sit through the course when a member of the team fails, they have had dramatic improvements.

Dig out the legislation and cut and paste it. It will imply that he will be liable, not you. You doing your job is protecting him. Him not supporting you is tantamount to endorsing rule breaking.

See what he thinks of that.

Copy his boss. Suggest perhaps they would like to choose someone else who will ignore transgressions which will make things easier. Until worksafe show up.

Or would they like to support you to do the role.

[Autech]

Fuck some whining cunts tonight.
I love it!

If a cunt wants to wear jandals and loses his toes, he should be shot to further the species. Unfortunately you are about to tell me he's already had 4 kids so we now know the system we have relied upon for millenia (evolution) is failing.

So fuck the world, have a bourbon. If you can manage it become self employed.
Watch motogp.
Love life as this is no world to bring kids into. Cunts fucked.

Dangerous as others have stated record EVERYTHING, dates, times, how many warnings you gave the tosser and informed your supervisors.. They should be backing you up aqs it is in their best interest, and the companies, to do so. Email the Dept head and cc the company boss. If part of a bigger corporation the CEO as well. Things usually start to happen quickly when a CEO is notified I've found. Just cc though not a direct email. A few rectums will tighten down the chain as soon as they see that. Also ring WorkSafe and without giving details of the outfit you work for. explain you are the Health and Safety Officer of your company then explain what happened and ask for suggestions to remedy the situation. WorkSafe is there to help outfits to get up to compliance as well as ping those that don't don't comply.

When I did a Health and Safety course by a WorkSafe instructor, for the same job you are doing now, the instructor gave all the attendees his bussiness card for this exact pickle you are in.

Good luck.

NO, DO NOT contact the CEO. Can’t tell you how many self righteous Nazis that cc email the CEO every time their knickers in a twist. (It’s a boomer/Gen X thing)

That is if the CEO Executive PA bothers to alert him/her on your email...may just end up in junk mailbox....

They will only see you as trouble and an annoyance & you will undermine the direct managerial line above you.
And trouble employees tend to get rinsed.

Respect the communication pathways which are in place for a reason.
If you feel your direct manager is incapable to deal with your complaint then explain to him that you need to escalate the issue to the next ladder and then do so.

Also keep your local HR manager copied in on the correspondence - they will ensure due diligence, due & timely process & fair play is taking place on your direct manager/s.

Keep everything in email & backup your emails to a USB (not just to your work computer).
