The countdown is on
It's nice to be liked.
Are you generally happier now or when you weren't working?
How much you make.Following up on the earlier discussion of pay increase --> I just got mine. Full amount expected and almost 3 months sooner.
There is still the possibility of a "promotion"/raise in the next short while but step 1 --->
They like me here.
He is still our regular guy for that company. He is in once or twice a week.
I basically changed the culture to my way of thinking and people stopped helping him when he had his helper. Like the one time he asked for help, instead of just doing it like they always had, the boss instead offered to show his helper what to do. (We already knew that his helper could do it anyway since he did it when I refused. It was all very retarded. Like what? Why are our people supposed to be more qualified to do it than that other lummox? Made no sense.) But anyway that was the boss's obtuse approach.
The guy got the message and stopped asking for help.
But then lately he has just been coming without a helper so we help him by directing traffic while he backs his truck out. That's fine.
No idea what the deal is in the big picture. Why did he ever have a helper? Why didn't he want his helper to help?
No idea.
For my part, if I ever see him there with a helper, I will let them look after themselves. My position is consistent. The one other licensed forklift guy, I'm not sure he would have the guts to make that stand and might just wimp out. The boss, I don't know.
It feels like he was trying to take advantage of you being the new guy to me. Now you're not the new guy, and he took the hint.
Dude got learned.
You got to be licensed for forklift?
