i understand where you're coming from. but do you ever get sick of having almost every new employee just not give a damn? or be totaly underskilled and also not give a damn? pretty soon you lose your patience for bullshit.

to me working your way up to the top = paying your dues.

i never talked about abuse or disrespect.

i don't get short with my crew if they don't give me a reason to, and if they all simply do their job and keep up with the barn, they get no hassle.

Waaay to stereotype new employees.

they're not all like that you know?

how about going into a workplace and being new and being treated like that right off the bat and not even being given a chance to show you give a damn and can do a good job? Well if that isn't disrespect..then i don't know.

ok so you deal with a burned out manager for a day or two but if you really do that good a job then any manager, unless they're threatened by you or have some other fucked up issues (i've had it happen to me a couple times), will recognize that.

if you're at a job where you get treated so poorly on a daily basis, despite your hard work and excellent performance, well, then it's your fault for staying at a job in which the manager is allowed to be shitty like that.

Yeah, it's a good thing my job isn't like that..but everyone has been down that road before and it sucks. That was sort of my original point.

..anyways :)

ok we work in two different types of jobs.
and this may be why we disagree on this topic so much.
i'm coming from my experience at the racetrack, working with large, strong, usualy ill-broke and very fit animals. i encounter a lot of young pony club girls who come in thinking they can save the racehorses and change the industry if they work at hastings park. and assume that a horse is a horse, not realizing just how VERY different these lovely animals are.
i know this because i WAS one of those girls 8 years ago, for about the first month i was there.

this leaves people like me in a very hard spot, we have 30 or 40 head in our barn, we're short handed on help and the help we have hasn't had a day off for several weeks, we only have 5 hours to get the barn trained before the track closes for the morning, and now we have a starry eyed bambie stumbling around the shedrow thinking it's more fun dodge teeth while she braids forelocks rather than clean her stalls.
the same bambie who also thinks she can run bandages and doesn't ask before she goes and does her horses up and consequently bandage bows and ends the career of a horse because she didn't realize that not all bandages go on the same.

i've seen so many of these people come and go so fast, we often lay bets on how long the new kids will last.

some of the champion things that i've seen:

a horse tied to a concrete bench, and shortly after that i saw the same combo flying across the parking lot.

a new "groom", when asked to put the blinkers on a horse, struggling in vain to pull the ear hole over the freaked out horses foot.

or the classic:

being asked to "blow some bute" to a horse, this dude went into the stall and after 5 minutes of angry talking/yelling and raucous, we checked to find that he was trying to stuff the tube up the horses nose as he would have a straw to his. the horse didn't take to this well at all.
(when you blow any med, you take a 2' section of soft garden hose and pour the powder into it and put the end into the back of the horses mouth and blow the powder down their throat.)


in my job i have to consider the health and well being of both people and some very expensive animals for whom i am accountable to some very fussy owners.
i have found it's ALWAYS safer to assume that the new "green" help knows nothing, so i can show them exactly what and how and when i want things done and feel a little better knowing they have at least an idea of how things should be done.

i've never got mad at someone for an honest mistake when they didn't know better and i neglected to show them. that was my fault IMO.
i don't, however, appreciate new people coming in and assuming that what i do is brainless and simple and anyone can do it, even them.
those are the one's charlie and i have dubbed "not gonna make it"

That's poor hiring, it's not THEIR fault.
It's their boss's job to give them the knowledge and teach them the skills. If the boss doesn't wanna do that, they should hire someone who already has it all.

I have a fucking awesome staff of 30+ and almost every single one of them is under 21 years old. Half of my staff are still in high school. They show up on time, they know their shit, they work their asses off, and at the end of the day I always leave happy about the job they've done. If they're not doing their job, I (and my management team) follow-up with them, make sure they clearly understand their duties, and hold them accountable. In my 6+ years in management, I have only ever had to write 5 people up, and it was for stupid things like consistently showing up late or having pot at work (that's just stupid shit).

The management is pathetic, and screws over its employees constantly. I've got a tip for you, though. If you have ever bought anything from Tom Lee ever, even if you don't still have the reciept for it, you can get most if not all of your money back at any time (unless it's software or DJ needles). All you have to do is see Graham (the general manager) or Henry Lee and bitch till you're blue in the face. He will cave in.
A bum came in here the other day with a bass he bought from us used but in decent shape well over two years before. The neck had been cracked and one of the tighteners was completely broken off, chips missing all over it. He was high when he came in, bitched at the guitar employees for a half hour, saying he needed money for "rent" (read: crack). They sent him upstairs, and he came back down ten minutes later with Henry. He got 75% of his cash back, and so can you. Don't take no for an answer.
