I work for a plumbing company and there’s a foreman position open I’ve been told it’s mine when it comes up so I’ve been working hard the last few months. The position went to someone else I thought was a weird pick but I figured they had another plan for me. Just today I heard through someone else that my boss said I’m the right pick (work ethic and general intelligence wise) but I’m too nice to apprentices and other trades on sites. That I would be a push over. He’s old school a prefers the rude way to motivate people but he’s always been good with me.. but after hearing this I just feel like packing my things up and leaving that as long as he’s in charge I’ve got no where to go.
