Members Perfessor Posted July 18, 2005 Members Share Posted July 18, 2005 I work with The Big Guy. The Big Guy is really big. He is 6'2" and weighs 390lbs. The Big Guy steals. He drinks people's milk, eats their food, and when there are candy bars for sale from people's school kids we find candy missing and money from the envelope missing when he works the weekend. The Big Guy has no respect for anyone's property. He once tried to start a coworker's Harley all the while the guy was yelling at him not to because he left the bike in gear and it would have taken off riderless. A month later The Big Guy hopped on the Harley owners bike and rode it around the plant while the owner was taking a shower. He later claimed he was "bringing the bike to him" at the back of the plant while he had just talked to him as he was getting in the shower. The Big Guy doesn't do his job. He rides around on a riding mower instead of walking when supervision isn't around and machinery suddening doesn't have oil in it while The Big Guy is done working on it. He is a maintenance support person. He'll jump up and say he was just going to do that when confronted with something he didn't do. The Big Guy doesn't respect your space. If you are the only one in the lunchroom The Big Guy will plop himself down next to whoever is there and start talking even if your mouth is full and you are reading a newspaper. We do rounds at work every two hours. The Big Guy will leave his work and show up at the place where you are and start talking when your round is just starting and you need to consentrate on tests and charts, etc. He sits in your chair. He only likes country music but that doesn't stop him from sitting in my chair and listening to jazz when he knows I'll be coming into the room just so he can be in my face. He does this to everyone. I bought a walkman just so I couldn't hear him. It doesn't stop him from talking to you. He just talks louder. You have to litterly hide form him and I'm his supervisor when he's filling in on my shift. The Big Guy's three boys are always in trouble. The oldest is 24 without a driver's license. I once saw The Big Guy driving a bunch of kids around who were shooting the moon from the back of his pickup. I told him the next day he could get into trouble for that. He said "whaaaaat?" The Big Guy actually was asked to leave scout camp as a scout leader for foul language around kids. None of his own kids were allowed to ride the school bus after 6th grade. Children's services supervises his family. The Big Guy breaks chairs. He has broken 12 comfortable chairs at work. The Big Guy found out what barber another coworker and I go to and went there and broke his barber chair. Everyone I work with has an EPA license.....except The Big Guy. He tried 5 times and never came close. He'd get a $1.00 per hour raise if he got one, but all he says is "Ahhhhhh" when asked if he'll try again. As a result of his ignorance they schedule The Big Guy to all shifts to fill in for sick time and vacations. He has worked all three in one week. Anyone else's wife would complain, but The Big Guy's wife is just like him, a little smaller with blond spiked hair. The Big Guy has worked there for 26 years! He came from diesel training school. The municipality thought they'd have him work on a backhoe engine shortly after he was hired. There were 6 parts left over! They sent him back to the wastewater plant and said "never send him here again". I'm glad there will be no more Big Guy's hired. The hiring criteria is much stricter. That means they won't hire The Old Mayor's Drinking Buddy either. I'll save him for another thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fretless Posted July 18, 2005 Members Share Posted July 18, 2005 what a dick big guy you're fired ! Why does your coworker leave the keys in his Harley and take showers at work ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members L-1329 Posted July 18, 2005 Members Share Posted July 18, 2005 If you are his supervisor when he's on your shift, supervise the hell out of him! Keep him loaded up with tasks, and stand watch to make sure he doesn't slack off. Don't let him get more than his 15 minute break and lunch the entire time he's there. Work his ass off!! He'll hate it, to the point that he won't ever want to work your shift again. If the rest of the managers do the same he will quit to find another job that he can take advantage of. The only way to get rid of problems like that without getting into a HR nightmare. And start recording his actions. At some point you are going to need to show these problems to someone, and a record is the best way to do make your point. BTW how is it that the bike owner hasn't taken him out yet for messin with his ride??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members lug Posted July 18, 2005 Members Share Posted July 18, 2005 I've been working at the same place for 26 years! I'm trained as a Diesel Mechanic but no one at work respects that. I have to work all three shifts. No one respects the american worker anymore. Even when I bring guys their morercycles so they can get out of there early, I get no thanks. My wife is really hot, though and keeps a clean trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy drinks coffee. Ten minutes later, guy is in the can for the next half hour. If I'm not mistaken Visine's active ingredient has been the same for many decades. "Visine with tetrahydroziline[sp]" was their commercial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bassman1956 Posted July 19, 2005 Members Share Posted July 19, 2005 This sounds like a dark sitcom, or good TV drama movie, with an appropriate title: "The Big Guy". Talk to Fox! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
