favorite saw shop employee fired

[bookerdog]

Went down to the saw shop on monday to shoot some bull. I asked where saw guy was and they told me he just got fired. Got into arguement with owners son thats a rich little spoiled brat. Its just not the same shop now with him gone. He was the one with the great personallity.

That stinks. Don't get me started on little "son of the boss" rich kids!

Too late, you did.


Long ago and far away I worked in an office of a smallish company. (People wise. Big bucks, though.) The Pres & V.P. had their boys come in at Easter, Christmas, and a week or two in the summer to "work" in the warehouse. When they did inventory over Christmas vacation, the warehouse manager always sent his regular guys around to do the work all over, because he knew - EVERYBODY knew - that they'd count a few things in a bin, then just write down a number they pulled out of the air.

They got paid about TWICE what the grown men working the warehouse got. Man, those spoiled brats sure had some nice cars, too!

Worthless wastes of oxygen, every one of them! I'm sure by now the parents (using the term loosely) have paid a high price in terms of emotional pain.

Tom?? Tom Hall????? Tom T. Hall's been fired???

Why them scalawags... :hmm3grin2orange:

If they ever did, my next saw is a Jred off the Internet. As long as Tom is there, my next saw is a Sthil. He's an hour away and the closest decent dealer. There's another AS member who is about 90 minutes away, but that's just getting too far out there.

At least with Tom he's on my commute route, so no big deal to stop by. The other fellow is the wrong direction.

That's too bad "your" shop lots its personality.


Woodie, the two states in question, couldn't be much further apart. I had to laugh anyway though.

Surely a 361, if you don't have one already......:rockn: :rockn: :rockn:

My dad and my uncle started a company. I got all the really nasty, dirty, grungy, dangerous, etc... jobs, because my dad wanted every one to know his son could work. My cousin got paid to water ski, drive his dad back and forth to work, paid lunch breaks, etc. I hated working at that job more than any other I have ever had. So, there ya go, both ends of the spectrum.

Wrong state, and even wrong coast.........:newbie:

A) Why would a guy, whose avatar shows a cartoon character urinating on a Stihl logo, frequent a Stihl dealership? I knew he wasn't talking about Tom.
B) Ever heard of the District of Columbia? Big city there called...yup...you guessed it...Washington. Ask Tom T. Hall how far he is from Washington...I bet he tells you 45 minutes.
C) If you do what I ask in (B) above, he will tell you "Wedoggie, that's all the way on the other coast!" just to spite me.
D) No owner in their right mind would fire Tom T. Hall unless said Tom T. Hall SLEPT with the owner's son. Oh Lord, let's not go there...

Woodie,
I can't even quote your last post. I am pretty sure you can get "help" though. Good chance your insurance would even cover it.

I know....:hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange:

Btw, I have an uncle that lives in Virginia, before he retired he lived in Washington DC (Norwegian Embassy).....

...guess I need to tell him to check up on Tom, as the only saw he has is a Husky 353 (actually, I already did - told him to see Tom, and get a 361).

To paraphrase Dennis Leary, "I'm just a bottle of pain pills and a fifth of Bushmills away fromo taking hostages!!"

Nah. I've got a saw or two in that size category. ('Course, one of them needs to be rebuilt, but hey, at least I can say I have it. )

I'm thinking 441, when I have the money.


Maybe next year!

Norwegia has embassies? huh.

In many saw shops there's a certain mechanic, counter person, or sales person that really makes that one shop stand out. All too often I see shop owners letting real good help go on a small issue. There's a Stihl/Husky dealership about two hours north of me that had a mechanic who was as good as gold. He'd been there for fifteen years. As in the above scenario he got into an argument with the owner's bratty kid and the next day, poof!- he was gone. I stopped going there when I found out.

Where is Norwegia located?

 

[Jacob J.]

It's across the strait from Lesbia.

Send the good guys to Canada. We will put up with almost anything from a good technician because they are almost impossible to find.

Heck if one of my good techs slept with my son I would likely tell my son to stop dressing so trashy!
