Your response to those situations was a breath of fresh air. Most bosses would just scream and shout or fire someone. Fine if it was deliberate but not if it was an accident. "Before you judge me, make sure you're perfect" Best advice from one of the best bosses I ever had Hope you didn't get yelled at too much, Mr Digg 👍

@KA-om9oz well you take yourself way to serious. Stuff breaks when you use it. It's all part of owning equipment. And if ypur more worried about equipment over the health and wellbeing of your employees, then you sound like an arrogant prick I'd never want to work for. And I've worked in construction since about the time that I could walk. And I've been responsible for 10s of millions of dollars of equipment that my life depended on and responsible for 12 other guys while conducting combat operations. So yeah it's a big whoop if equipment breaks as long as my guys came back un hurt and alive at the end of the day. And nothing that happened in that video is any big deal as long as no one got hurt. Shit just happens some days.

They just know, dont they?!

Don't feel BAD 😊 I was pushing mud with a CASE (450) wide track low GP Dozer. It was a mainline sewer job in very very muddy ground. 😊 I guess they wanted the NEW guy just Dispatched out of union hall, to see me work. There was piles of mud around the deep sewer ditch. I started pushing everything was going fine then, "O" no it sunk up to engine plate. As I started to back up, it just sunk deeper. We got a ( JD -555) front loader from across town. This was Aberdeen WA. And if anyone knows that area, it RAINS constantly 😊 I would Dry my rain gear in the stove each night in my hotel room. Anyway we hooked up chains to back of dozer. Thank gosh it had great big ring hooks on back. The loader operator pulled me and I ran dozer in reverse. We got her out of the mud. What happened was got too close to the soft spots on the side of the mainline sewers. The supervisor told use to STOP using the wide track. He would come up with another idea. How we finally smooth out the piles of mud was put a Bucyrus Erie dragline on big wooden boards. And Dragline the extra mud to smooth out the terrible ground conditions 😊😊 the mainline crews were finding historical bottles in the ditch as they dug the ULIT sewer replacement. We had 4 crews working on the streets this was the mid 1970s the city was also digging around the main water supply line for the city. Putting NEW Steele bands on a huge 36 wide water main. The city was doing all their main sewer and water replaced and overhaul maintenance. I mainly was a runner, doing different jobs with a CASE (580-C) you had to engage the differential LOCK to just make the Backhoe drive. Most of the time I was using the backhoe so I did not travel in forward or reverse much. It was my first big dispatch out of union hall. I wanted to make more money running equipment. My uncle was only paying me $5 and hour and no medical insurance. The union was paying $13,84 at the time so I switched. The A list guys had not all come back from the Alaska Pipeline Job, so there was a need for guys and gals if you went to union hall for work. I stayed busy on different mainline sewer jobs till all the A list guys came back home from Alaska. Then I started working for a water utility that when I stayed doing that work. Installing new water service. Repair of leaky mains. I ended my working days manager of a small water Department. Had 750 service accounts. Mix of retirement multi level apartments and single family residents. We had a quarter of a million gallons storage tank plus a connection with the next water district off a 24" supply line. I did everything as a manager from reading meters to reports to the commissioner at the monthly meeting.
