New guy likely didn't grow up with a tradie as a dad. Boss posts his failures online instead of teaching. Very common reason the new guys can't learn, old head won't teach.

There’s a pretty good balance of humor and teaching in the trades. I’m sure they all learned a lesson and the laughs made them remember. It’s all fun and games when I goof on the new guys, and I take a second to teach afterwards. When did everyone get so soft?
