Hi guys I have posted here once before asking advice on how to get a job, now Ifound a job. It's cutting trees down and getting paid by the ton. Just cross cutting and stacking.
Me and another guy have definetly been thrown in at the deep end, it's actually my first week properly using a chainsaw which I did explain to my new employer more than once.
Anyway, first 2 days the boss said he had no complaints everything fine. Then the last 2 days of the week he is saying he doesn't know if I can make it, he said my chainsaw use is a bit shakey, which it is but it's my first week, is this guy expecting too much from me? I really love the job and can't afford to get the sack so I asked for 1 more week to see if I improve, i'm getting about 1 truck full a day and the other guy whos been doing it for 10 years or so is filling 2 trucks or more a day.
Is he being unfair by expecting so much out of me too soon? On the first day he said he doenst care if it takes me all day to cut 2 trees down, now he just seems like he wants more trees coming down. I'm going as hard as I can all day, I have no forestry hand tools, just my chainsaw, my arms are black and blue from dragging BIG ass logs all over the place.
Just want to know what u guys think? He's making me feel like I shouldn't even be doing this job. Kind of annoyed me because I did explain to him on the phone before I started the only experience I have is from a 1 week chainsaw course. Any advice? I have another week coming up starting monday,then he'll decide if he keeps me or not I guess.
