The words from my worker on Friday... He was on his second pint though :)
Hopefully the next person that starts thinks the same.

They all say that first 6months ::)roll ::)roll

He hadn't worked as a windy before and the job is now getting easier for him. He's still actually learning and probably will be for the next year.

Don’t mix with workers socially it will end in tears ;D

Then he ll leave after a year and start up on his own..... ;D

I agree with Kev - no social mixing ;D
my lads still agree its a great job after 4 and 5 years respectively ( mind you that don't always say that after cleaning a few hundred static caravans :o )
Daz - you bang on about people setting up on their own - bit of project fear going on I think

A pint once a month won't hurt anyone.
How does that work when you work with the wife? Sorry doll can't take you for a drink.... Oh and your sacked as you'll end up starting up on your own :) Sneaky b!tch

Please elaborate why are you against doing something casual once in awhile?

Kenny Dalglish socialised with Andy Carroll
Look how that turned out😱😱😱

It's a power trip! If you socialise and come down to their level they may not respect you as a boss............ Or at least, that's what I speculate.
However, when I used to train ones up etc, if we finished early or even after a particular long day, we would pop into a local on the way home and enjoy a pint. Never did any harm, if anything it bolstered morale and kept a good work force
-
Yup, gotta get them a pint or two every now and then.
Do you guys have a Christmas do? We went paintballing last year. Great fun!
-
there are regular 'works' do's and outings
we have barbecues at the unit - lunch time breaks at a restaurant for the Christmas party I will go get a round in lead some cash behind the bar and f**k off I don't go out drinking with the guys outside working hours
I don't class something I've arranged and they are on the clock for as 'social' in the sense of going out to a night-club with mates fine line I know

Put it this way if I can't have a pint with someone that works for me then they shouldn't be working for me.
I'll be advertising next week so hopefully in six months time I'll have two happy workers!
"Coming down to their level"? Bit disrespectful in my opinion.
-
if you blur the lines you might be having a pint with them in the evening then having to discipline the following day... if they see you as a friend rather than the boss then IMO they will attempt to take more liberties and not regard the b@llocking as serious
case in point my supervisor likes to be 'one of the boys' then has problems when he needs to give the guys a nudge in the general direction of unit housekeeping etc..
be friendly, be open, be helpful above be professional

Absolutely. The ones who think they're a cut above the workers probably wouldn’t be the sort of person one would want to go for a drink with anyway.

all my lads love their job and they are well paid for what they do.
its unskilled labour at the end of the day and we all socialise like adults should!

He must've had some crap jobs.
Best job I had was working in a police station in Ireland when I was in the army.
I had a company car, wore civilian clothes, and carried a Walther PPK for my personal protection weapon; I felt like a Japanese Geordie James Bond.
My actual job was to be friendly and get information out of the five special branch coppers there with respect to daily shootings (I was attached to the Intelligence Corps), but as soon as I started there was a ceasefire, which meant I didn't have much of a job. And because no-one knew how long the ceasefire would last, I had to be kept in post.
So I spent my day starting late, finishing early and in-between, being a gym rat and swanning around the offices chatting up the women.
The only downside was that I met the (now ex) wife there. :'(

That sounded like a great job.
I've had a few poop jobs in my time and worked for and with some arseholes, which is a benefit for anyone that works for me.

Best job I had was working on a Scuba diving boating in Eilat in Israel. It included accommodation on the boat and all food and drink. It was moored just under The Kiing Solomon Hotel, the 'go to' spot at the time for all looking to socialise at night.
Why did I ever give it up?

Hi Matt, i had a weeks Holiday in Eilat 20+ years ago, really enjoyed it there, very hot 8)

Yip, its hot there.
When I first got there I'd been backpacking round Egypt and ended up sleeping on the beach for a few weeks. Cadging jobs at The Peace Cafe, doing all sorts. Mostly building site work. Then me and my mate landed on our feet when we were offered a job on this scuba diving boat.
