Thought I would kick the cage a little and was wondering ??? Who works harder? The dude on the ground or the dude in the bucket truck?
Hey treesquirrl:
Very interesting that you just made the post on a small event that happened just yesterday. I was on the ground and was dragging brush and a small limb hit my shoulder. It was a small branch (1"or so) but was not paying enough attention on what the bucket dude was doing. I like your approach due to the fact that if someone was injured it would take more time and money to finish the job. I always took great pride on watching my surroundings but just got caught up in trying to get the job done. Thanks for your post.
I was just kidding here, wait, not really, when I was learning and first started the guys I worked under gave me hell and would always tell me "when you make foreman then you can do it your way and we don't drag or chip brush" and they didn't that was just the rule, you had too earn your spot on the top, that has stuck with me and when I was working full time and got a "know it all" smart butt snot nosed kid I would work the hell out of him, either make them or break them, I broke many and made many in my 18 years but most of the time I would get a good kid that wanted too learn and I when I saw that he wanted too learn and worked good I would take the extra time and teach them, to me there is no better feeling than standing on the ground watching that kid you trained doing it just as he was taught and doing it right.if I'm in the bucket, the dude on the ground will work harder.........
