  • Hostile work conditions, but we deserved it

    1) Tuesday morning at 7:30am me and two other supervisors made a bet. The first one to cave and have a cigarette has to pay the other two $100. The second one to crash has to pay the last one standing $50.

    2) There's not enough work today for everybody so some guys are at home and dispatch assigns the three of us to be the only three at one particular job today (he has a twisted sense of humor)

    3) Since the three of us 'work so well together' he doesn't assign the job to anybody, just says we can 'figure it out' (did I mention dispatch has an evil twisted mind?)

    4) Job is a one room 10'x14' boathouse, we can't even separate and work in our own areas, we are literally working on top of each other all day, each trying to do things the way we (individually) want them done (dispatch guy sent us a group text around 11am, so who did you decide was in charge for the job? We each sent him back 'I am!' He just sent us back laughing faces)

    5) Send all of us a group message EVERY HOUR of a video of him outside, having a cigarette and making mmmmm noises (seriously I think this man is the devil in disguise)

        Still going strong, and we are all bitchier then ever!

        I think this weekend is going to be hard, 2 of us going out of town to a trade show, probably be getting some drinks into us....

          I guess that confirms that he knew about the bet...

                Stay out of Toronto this weekend kids, no area in the city is safe from the all-encompassing bitchy!

                One guy broke today, just the two of us going away tomorrow are left in.
