I have a buddy that is a "safety advisor." He watches guys work and "advises" them if he think something could be dangerous or if a worker doesn't use his proper equipment.

I asked "do they forget their equipment?"


(Him) "No"


(Me) "Do you actually mother them?"


(H) "No, not really... It makes them mad"


(M) "What DO you do?"


(H) "Nothing really. They only work on the plane for a couple hours, then roll it out and bring in another. So, realistically I only work for two hours out of an eight hour day."


(M) "What do you do the rest of the time?"


(H) "Drink coffee... BS... Nothing really"


(M) "You feel good about this?"


(H) "What do I care as long as I am getting paid"


Huh. He went on to talk about overtime, holiday pay and benefits and how great it is working there in general.


I just shake my head and wonder why these guys would be complaining.
