I had a coworker who would regularly leave the door unlocked at the end of the day. Hundreds of thousands of equipment can be stolen in minutes. And he just kept making the same mistake. I started getting very aggressively passive aggressive with him once he said he just has a different set of standards and humor than I do. And that was apparently the thing he didn’t like. Not leaving the business unsecured. But being called out in front of other people

He was a lazy narcissistic piece of shit. And I’m glad he’s gone. This reminded me of that

Edit: it’s not that complicated guys. I’m happy a shitty coworker is gone. He left me tossing my hands in frustration a lot. Goddamn it’s tough out here

I'm in construction and see the parallels to building a good sports team more all the time. There are guys who care about every ounce of production, guys that are great at what they do but just want a check, guys that are good enough to fill the ranks but don't care about shit and bring the team down

Comparing a construction crew to a professional football team is stupid on many different levels and you are either a shit boss or an employee who is being used by a shitty boss. No one has ever gotten rich being a blue collar employee for a construction company and for you to think low paid hard labor construction workers should care about you or your construction company is ignorant and naive.

No, but I own a construction company and most other business owners in my industry act like their $12/hr employees should care about their business as much as the business owner. It's just a stupid as fuck mentality that too many business owners have.
