I have a coworker who is 19, black and a military kid (parents were, not him).
He was hired inspite of sleeping in orientation class, sitting around on his phone and—he gets $20.00 an hour now.
This kid has been “working” at my job for THREE MONTHS, does not know how to do much besides build the legs and ladder.
He wanders off aimlessly to b.s., joke, talk and just enjoy his time while the rest of us work.
I have tried several times to reason with him, get along with him, and YELL AT HIM for not even comprehending that WHAT I AM SAYING ARE ACTUAL WORDS, REFERRING TO LITERAL THINGS THAT WILL IMPACT US ON A PERSONAL LEVEL.
The kid is constantly smoking pot, takes forever to do things and always wanders around high and forgetting everything.
I told the manager today, “I am not working with _____ any more. I am not going to babysit while he asks me 'when you think we're gonna get done'?”. Then proceeds to wander around bullshitting and enjoying life, doing the absolute bare minimum.”
I feel like I Pull the goddamn team on a set of flat tires, we never finish on time and I just cannot deal with that and am hurt today—-so, I am not coming in today”.
Besides, it is my SEVENTH DAY IN A ROW on the last three months of overtime….three months/six days in a row/10.5 hours a day
