G,day viewers to cut a long story short. We had a young red belly black snake at work it had been in the fork lift for 13 days since it was last seen. Anyway a truck driver and I caught it and boxed it to let it go. When I told the boss he started tapping the box and said it was a baby and won't hurt you. WTF :-\ I thought about throwing it in his office and locking the door. ;D Jimson

Lol...
My boss has just been shuffled sideways into a different role where (in the words of his boss) "his micromanaging can be useful"...
New boss seems OK. Didn't even get upset when I reversed a work vehicle into his car.
While he was watching...

My boss has just been given the arse. Bit of a surprise. Means I will have to train the new one ::) ::)

My boss is a prick!

Mines pretty good.
Lets me get away with just about anything I want to.
Like putting off urgent jobs because the boys want to go to the topless bar or go riding mid week to avoid the crowds.
Has one drawback I'm expect to be civil to her mother.
My solution when the outlaw is visiting, is go an do those urgent jobs I avoided. I try an pick the nosiest dirtiest job I can preferable in the yard.
I know, not the boss you were talking about but her indoors is the only one I have to answer to.

My boss and I have an interesting relationship. We're both in our late 50's and will retire in the next 4-5 years. We both have put up with a lifetime of bullshit from up above. Whilst we disagree about some things we have common life experiences and an unspoken agreement to not annoy each other. Seems to work most days! J
-
I'm with bigK on this one....... If only I wasn't my own boss! :o
-
My boss is a neat guy.
He said a while back that he had all the money he could ever use and now he sits in one of his sheds and knocks up hot rods.
He has hired a mechanic and welder full time just to help him.
He's living the dream.
The rest of us never see him. ;)

Can't help it. I work for myself. :'(

My son, (another misguided person that thought motor mechanics is a good job) has had lots of jobs and he said the boss has always been a pain in the"A".
That boss is the customer.
cheers pancho

Pretty cool...just got his new daily driver delivered this week,quad cam V8 1985 Aston Martin primo condition all the way from a London showroom.Those engines are HUGE!He lets me get on with it,happy as long as I'm making him money. ;)

My boss is a good bastard,the last one a complete tool.
It makes a big difference when you get lucky and have a person your respect .

I have two at the moment..
1 is a tossa,, I've forgotten more than he'll ever know & the other one is from Canada,,,,he's a beauty :)
-
The main reason I retired from my trade was my boss being a proper dickweed. I figured that life was too short to take directions from a bloke with a fist full of diplomas but no shop floor experience or seat of the pants, street smarts. He took little or no notice of clever tradesmen with decades of experience, opting for expensive and over complicated new age fixes on simple old school problems. The mass exodus of experienced tradesmen from a number of different trades (I was only one of 9 or 10 who bailed out) in this blokes first year should have set off alarm bells with upper management but they were dazzled by his techno bullshit for another two years until he got caught out receiving kickbacks from suppliers and contractors.

Maybe I'm a bit slow on the uptake but I don't get it..... :-\

Me either

Ive been my own boss for most of my working life either as sole business started at 21 , a large business ( that went horribly wrong !), or indipendant contractor ( management).
I now work from home for myself again and have the best life I have had , the only problem with being your own boss is time you need to be disciplined to it and you don't get 4 weeks of it off a year like wage earners. So i guess I still have a boss TIME. and lack of it is a prick!!

Over the years I have had some top bosses & some real pricks,didn't last too long with the latter before snatching it,My current boss is Ok most of the time but can distort the facts to suit his agenda at times (AKA lying his ass off ;)),I work for a national company now so there are unseen bosses everywhere who come up with great new ideas from behind there desks,they don't ask us at the coal face if it's workable or not,just do it my way >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

There were a few classics in the Govt. Dept I worked for and spent 26yrs.
The most memorable examples were uni graduate "engineers".
E.g. 1.
Question- O/seer to Engineer- Where will I dispose of all this excess soil? A. Dig a hole and bury it.
E.G.2
Manager to support officer (me)- I'll just go over to that carpenter and tell him how to do this job.
Me to Manager (Uni Graduate in management) L***** , DONT tell a man with thirty years trade experience HOW to do a job, just tell him what you want.
Don't even get me started on the others with 'engineering degrees' from India.
cheers.

Are you sure we didn't work for the same department Wal? ;D., the only difference being that my wanker engineer was an Aussie. The shop foreman fitter was a Pommy Indian though and he was a great bloke and a very smart engineer who knew how to do emergency fixes without shutting down production...a skill he'd learned over 20 years at sea as an engineer on super tankers. The closest he'd ever been to a university was driving past one on the way to work yet he ran rings around our masters degree'd know all. I've seen and heard of many a government department sent backwards by the hierarchies propensity to hire these blokes over well versed tradesmen that have learned their craft on the shop floor.

Sounds like NZ we hire foreigners as govt dept bosses every time , had a couple lately outed for false CVs .Pity we still have a inferiority complex and dont support our home grown talent , Guess thats why they F&** off to OZ
-
Had my dad for a boss, good bloke but working for dad didn't work for me. Worked for myself pretty much the rest of my life except for an 8 year period when I worked for a bloke who I always said was the only bloke I could work for. First day on the job he asked me something and I replied "Your the boss man". He answered with "Ain't no boss man here, you should know what to do otherwise what's the point of you being here." Became lifelong friends.

My Supervisor visits for about 10 minutes once a fortnight to pick up my pay time sheets. Usually mumbles something about how I have the best job (but not the best paying by miles!) in the City of Greater Bendigo, Has a smoke then pisses off again. So back to just me, the garbage, the birds ,snakes and very occasionally a bloody customer to wreck my resting. ;)

I'm stuck in China after being stuck in Vietnam after being stuck in Thailand while you guys are all riding or working on your bikes. I don't need to explain what sort of boss I've got.... >:(
-
Unfortunately nowadays having 15 -20-30 years of solid work history from other country means s..t all. And if you have a"recognized trade paper" you will be lucky to get a job as trade assistant.
Saying that my last supervisor (machine shop) was an a..hole with massive chip in shoulder with no trade qualification at all.
