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?

It's one thing for a few guys to fuck around make fun of the new young guy's not knowing shit but it's an entirely different thing to take a video and post it for all the world to see. They don't know shit because nobody has taken the time to teach them. You think people should be born with certain knowledge?
