hi lads , lm currently running my own site at mo with 15 houses and a refurb , last week i was detailing blokes wrk for the day ahead , after the lads had all their jobs and on their way i noticed 1 scaff in particular had obviously not been listening after pulling him up and detailing him again i was amazed at how this grown man was acting and decided to have a chat, after a few mins i realised this bloke was not interested shrugging his shoulder stareing rite through me and kept walking off acting like a 16 yr old . i had enuf so called tea up . as every1 was on their way back from dinner there was some1 missing , then to my amazement 1 of the other blokes had told he had stormed off site . what a pillock . has any 1 else had experiences like this ?

Depends how you spoke to him.
Was anyone else around when you pulled him?
Maybe he didnt like the look of the job.
Maybe he didnt like the dosh offered.
Maybe he didnt like another certain lad that started on site at the same time.
Maybe he was just a total uninterested prick like you stated.
Who knows?
I wouldnt lose any sleep over that.

big sites normaly mean big responibility, and for anyone to act in an unprofessional mannar and simply fuuuck off in my book is a big no no
had a similar incedent this week with a know it all and sacked him for threatening behaviour
in the old days a chat &smack in the mouth normally sorted out the pecking order but these days there no room for voilence or premadonnas on site, we all gota work together,our jobs hard enough as it is without some pilock trying to make it harder,
dont take it personally mate this will happen to you many more times in your career

Thats scaffolders for you , who knows why they do half the things they do
once seen 3 lads talk themselves into "jacking" in a cafe at 7 in the morning for no reason one said he didnt fancy it much as it was a bit wet and another said we cant just not turn up then they decided the could jack it , funny as fu ck to watch as they had no job to go to

Wouldnt worry about it Pal. I had an Accident with a chainsaw 15 year ago , ended up doing a 4 month stint in a factory up until that time I thought only women bitched on but spent 4 month in factory open mouthed at how men grouped together to bitch on about the others even at break the canteen was divided into about 6 groups bitching about each other , Ive been scaffolder all my life and over the past few years have seen the bitchiness I seen in that factory 15 years ago slowly but surely creep onto the construction site .
Things dont get sorted man to man now as most on here will probably agree , its all about sniping at each other and grassing etc etc Nothing on site or in life amazes me anymore your man has made himself look a prick , just forget about him now and concentrate on the others, but dont forget him altogether just in case he turns up on another job your involved with :wondering:
