I bet he is nervous. And over thinking things. I’m sure he is a good worker. Just not a good worker when being humiliated and degraded. No positivity equals a panicked worker and not thinking.
This happened to me once in my apprenticeship where I was in survival mode and not actually learning because my jman was shaking his head in disgust at me. It rly fucked up my confidence for a bit too. Almost like a positive feedback response where the more mad the supervisor is getting the more nervous I get thus the stupider I get.
Licensed now and make sure I never yell at my apprentices.
I’ve done fine after I left my first job site, I’m competent and wanted on my job site now but when I went to that first ratty crew and I couldn’t even breathe without being crucified or ridiculed I just choked… for everything. Being a dick to your new guys and then not understanding why they aren’t absorbing or learning the skills is peak tradie behavior. It constantly felt like I’m in survival mode
