Good Supervisors, Roy Keane Syndrome

Once knew a lad who came of the rigs on a Thursday [around 20 years ago] with £1,500.00 in his pocket, on the Sunday night he did not have a brass farthing as he had lost every penny in the casino, What a plonker

Completly agree S.G.. once you become a supervisor you also become a full time baby sitter, cos the amount of tantrums and spanner throwing you get is unreal.. feel like taking their spanners off them and making them sit on the naughty step...:idea::toung:
 
most abuse reported these days is by the BABY SITTER
or bbc presenters and djs but primarily the BABY SITTER:eek:
 
The change over between being one of the lads and a supervisor is the making or breaking of ya.

Not evryone can let go and others act like nazis when they change up and never get past being thought of as a **** by the lads thereafter.

Communication is what its all about.

Unfortunatly bobby my young cockney friend, im on the tools which is a right pain in the rectum. Cos you'll be doing a job then you get called away to look at something else, which means you have to get other lads to finish what your doing, and they then dont finish it the way you would want it to be done, so you give them a fuucking for not doing it right. Then your still trying to organise other things around site, kit moving and sorting other mens work out, then you get the office ringing up asking why this isnt done.....Sometimes i feel like smashing the phone up and hanging my belt up and saying fuuck the lot of you.. thr joys of being a SUPERVISOR..:sick:

When the lads finish at knocking off time all they thing about is a few pints a good feed, a quick shag and sleep. The owner, manager supervisor spends half the night worrying about the next day, has he got enough men, will Joe Bloggs pay his bill and when is the VAT due, when he finally gets to bed he spends the night tossing and turning and in the morning all his troubles start again , and you wonder why he always seems in a bad mood ::eek::eek:

lol this was me for last 5 yrs.
Not any more though all came to head this weekend and from now on only looking after my wife and kids everything else gonna come a long distant 2nd from now on!
 
No not jacked it in. But been doing evening and weekends trying to keep everybody happy. family not been on holiday since last August and even then I was making phone calls about work. Yesterday I asked myself why? I could easily just go back to working with just me and a labourer and be comfortable and have a lot less stress. Like someone else posted last week about they finish at 3 everyday and are playing golf most days might not be winning any awards but they got the right idea.
 
I know where your coming from there dan, we go on our first holiday in over 4 yrs in october. Trying to keep work life and family life in a balance is hard enough, its get even more so when you get that super card. I dont envey company gaffas, trying to find work , paying the lads on time, keeping the vehicles running on top of that having a home life....FUUCK THAT i'll stay a super
 
Its a shame other spanners dont think the way you do scaffy but ur spot on - unfortunitly when you get to a certain size where your too big to be small & too small too be big & cash flow wont allow you to grow & debt wont allow you to shut shop thats where you start thinking about is it worth the stress etc....but do you know what - you keep goin waiting for the next biggy & when it does & it allways does thats when you can answer urself with a nice big family holiday on a small island somewhere in the indian ocean with no phone signal ;)
 
Well you say you've got quick hands bren so shouldn't be a biggy eh pal...mind you when our good yorkshire lasses start shoutin it'll make any fooker run ( done it many times ).. lol lol
