i'm really irritated tonight. i'm stuck on a multi-week job, so the boss tried 'delegating' my new work van up-fitting to 3rd in command, who's got 3 years experience doing literally everything.

you'd think he'd be able to bolt in 3 shelves and assemble a ladder rack, all with specific instructions. and you would be wrong. the 20 gauge steel shelves are now held together to undertake a 5,000 pound shear load like they're holding the van together. and the ladder rack, which has clearly legible part-by-part instructions detailing how to assemble 15 main components, has 6 parts installed backwards or upside down, and will require major disassembly...

so come monday, i've got to go over the how's and why's over half of everything he did needs to be done again.

and then i try to explain my trust issues to new hires
