I deal with people who can and have lost their shit at me because I didn’t read their mind like i’m supposed to. minutes later, they’re calling me their bestie. What am I?
The worst part of my job is a lack of government funding to continue doing what many people would consider to be incredibly important, meaningful work, not just for the current generation, but for future generations as well.
I don’t clean up after myself and all the other tradesman get mad at me for it. It’s not my fault a laborer is paid half as much as I am and its cheaper if they do it.
Essentially, babysit adults to make sure they do their jobs and deal with their tantrums while making sure they get things to where they’re supposed to be.
Trying to calm the young ones down. They always want to be the one that comes up with the new idea instead of the tried and true industry practices. They tend to overcomplicate things.
Entitled clients who think it’s super easy to just “change” something on a pre-set fabrication, which they fucked up by being bad at measuring. Metal ain’t cheap, but they seem to think it is.
It’s never happened but every time I do my job it has the potential to kill someone, although I have no physical interaction with the person who would be killed.
Previous career, I would be hired by companies to go to their Chains and solve their problems. And the Chains would always try and change my report and lie about what I did and said if it wasn’t making the Chain look like a top performer.
Trying to find a gentle way to explain to clients that no, actually, we don’t offer that service, without using the phrase “our sales reps are idiots who don’t understand what the company they work for actually does.”
