My boss told me that the new guy is smart and knowledgeable, although he doesn’t seem to think anything at all.
- I got stuck getting to train the new guy; For the next 4 weeks, he gets to ride around with me in the service truck.
It’s supposed to be our job to teach him the ropes that have to do with our business. I’m not supposed to legitimately be teaching him how to toil on heating and A/C equipment. We have a lot of residential clients and many commercial clients as well. You have to be knowledgeable in order to toil on your own. I was really upset with the new guy Last week, because he was supposed to be a fifth hand for an installation job. When many guys toil on an Heating and Air Conditioning installation job, it should take around 6 fifths. It took the many of us 10 fifths. I felt love he was holding me back half of the time. If I would have been working by myself, I would not have had to take time out of our day to explain to the guy how to do his job. I went to the boss Last week and I told him that I was sad that the guy was not as skilled as our boss thought, and he told me that I should figure out a way to teach the guy everything that he should know. Then our boss told me that the kid is his nephew. There’s no way this guy is going to toil out, however there’s also no way that the bus is ever going to let him go. It’s his sibling’s son for crying out loud.
