What else can you say?he has wasted 4.5 years of his life.
90% of what gets posted here is to vent or make a point.Well posting about it on a forum certainly won't help your cause. Sit him down and talk to him, if it doesn't change, let him go.
4-1/2 years in the trade he should be able to do his own jobs.Most new apprentices look forward to cleanup because it's the one thing they know how to do half decent
I said new. And i agreebrian john said:4-1/2 years in the trade he should be able to do his own jobs.
Or an extra check on Friday.Hands in pockets during clean up wins tomorrow's worst job to do.
It sounds like you failed or your journeyman failed to properly teach and guide the apprentice.My belief is if I have to tell an apprentice with 4-1/2 years in the trade to clean up, put stuff away and how to assist in backing a trailer into the shop he has wasted 4.5 years of his life.
The work he described is more then likely not performed under his schedule. I would guess the customer had an outage and needed the work done in "x" amount of time. If that is the case, you man it accordingly, and get it done during the time allotted.It sounds like you failed or your journeyman failed to properly teach and guide the apprentice.
Or maybe you wore everyone out, including yourself, working a stupid number of hours in a day and the kid needed a breather.
Or just because he is not uber committed to killing himself for you does not mean he wasted 4 and a half years, it more that likely means you did not do your job well.
Perhaps you should analyze what happened and schedule the work better next time. I realize you think you can do no wrong, but evidence is showing otherwise.
Right, which means call the hall and hire some help - don't work everyone 15 hours so that safety becomes an issue - obviously running over someone is a safety issue. If someone got hurt that shift would have been partially to blame. We all know you cannot work that long and that hard without issues.The work he described is more then likely not performed under his schedule.
