Nothing quite like Vindication
Well I started a new job a couple of weeks ago, doing some very specialized work as an electrician. We have started a new electrical division in an existing company and will be specializing in things related to the Industrial Food Preparation Industry, Nuclear Industry, Petroleum Industry and etc. It is a weird conglomerate of businesses that we are trying to cater to, until you realize the Quality Assurance Standards of each of those mentioned above are rathar similar, and that is the market we are currently after. Enough Background info for now...
A couple of us flew to Texas for a couple weeks to do some prep work on a project and then on the last day, the other six joined us, planning to do the hardest part of the install while we were all there. Well, one asshat decided to flake out and disapear when the work was at its hardest and myself and the other newest guy on the crew called him on it, in private. When that did not rectify the problem, we called him on it publicly (construction workers have no secrets) and of course it spiraled downward (NIN) pretty quickly, and he ended up having to work away from the remainder of the crew for the rest of that day (so we could remain productive).
Anyways, this morning, myself and my partner in the RUCKUS were talking to the Senior Engineer about some unrelated stuff and he asked about what had transpired ("constructions workers have no secrest" also means "gossip mill").
The short of it is, as we learned, every negative interaction within this new group has involved the asshat. When the rest of the crew returns from texas, we were assured, this guy will be asked what he intends to change about himself so that he may remain with us....
Made my day, sometimes its nice to know that I am not just an ASSHOLE!
