communication question

[BillyB]

This turned out to be an interesting thread.

I'm enjoying it. I don't communicate with men but it's interesting to learn how sensitive men are and how drama can build up over something minor.

A month ago I hired a new guy to help a crew put up a keystone block retaining wall. I showed up to the jobsite and didn't like how he was putting the wall together. I told him "Move out of the way, this is how you do it". Later that day another employee told me the new guys said "Who the fukc is that guy? He's an asshole."

  somewhat, but what kind of idiot did you hire, Billy?  You start with "I hired a new guy...", and later he asked someone else who you were?  If his attention span is so short that he couldn't remember you, I would suggest that he find a job more suited to his ability - like politician, perhaps.    You certainly need to get his drug test re-examined.
