Lmao you people in the comments are fucking dumb. The kid refused to do any training and said he knew what he was doing. After constant mistakes and being reminded, he continued to ignore him.
Exactly if you say you don’t need training and continue to mess up then you definitely getting fired or placed doing something else. Most likely fired though.
Exactly! If he isn't going to accept any training, he doesn't need the job! I've been doing Landscaping work since I was 16, but I always accept any training offered because in the Landscaping business there is always something to learn! No day is repetitive. One day you could be mowing a yard, the next laying down mulch. Don't be afraid to accept help from someone who has experience in the industry!
@@officialdieselreaper8845 Exactly. I've done some yard work off and on since I was 13 and if I were to work at a landscaping company, I'd gladly take the training so I can get better at it. I'm heading in the marine industry and I just finished my Mercury Outboard Training. I'm now Mercury Outboard certified and I certainly hope I get on the job training so I can learn even more, get better at it, and get familiar with the engines and tools rather than doing things right off the bat. That kid refused to do training and kept messing up the customer's lawns.
As a STIHL certified mechanic, I would like you to know that 2 stroke blowers and weedeaters/trimmers should be run at full throttle. Running at only partial throttle cloggs spark arrestors. They run most efficient at full throttle with a load
Exactly!! No disrespect to this man but his mind operates like a spoiled female. His energy would make you not want to be apart of his team. Practice what you preach bro
What kind of co-worker jumps in the truck when done cutting. Grab a damn weed eater and help the guy out. If he ain't a pro let him learn you fire him on the first day you're just full of yourself
@@patriciamckee4310 no he set himself him to fail . If it’s your first usually you let your boss show you what to do and how . the kid said he knew what he was doing and didn’t need anyone behind him to tell him to do .
Ur not doing 37 yards in one day with just you and a new guy sorry mowing trimming and blowing off. Id run circles around you. Ur the type of boss that likes to sit and talk and yell at me while I'm working faster and better then you
I'd rather be in jail than work for this guy. And I have been self employed for 30 years.ALL new employees will tell you they are self sufficient. As a successful business owner you need to understand all will say this. Firing someone on the first day is pretty amateur of you.
The new guy clearly didn't want to do that type of work, it was a mutual parting of ways. It's not that some people can't do this kind of work its all about desire. Jobs like landscaping, warehouse work, or traffic flagging just to name a few can be done successfully by anybody with the physical ability as long as their heart is in it. There are a lot of people who are only in it for the money and those are the ones who don't make the cut.
@@scottshingleton7659 all the lying stops when on the first day. You’re told how many lawns you have on the list that need to get done lol. The kid had no idea what he was in for and probably would’ve went home before starting the day.
Knowing what your doing and work experiences is entirely different then saying you are "self sufficient". Did you watch the video? He said he knows what he is doing. He clearly does not. My little grandkids move faster then he does. That is a video of someone who has never used a weed wacker before.
The best employees I've ever had were ones that had no knowledge or experienced. I actually personally trained them myself to be molded into a good employee. You can't expect someone to just know everything off the bat.
@@victorysgoodlife679 nah this dude is kinda lazy, my boss has a bigger crew than this dude and works harder than any one of us and we respect the fuck out of him for that
I was in landscaping for 5 years, I dont understand why a lot of the supervisors are like this theres only 2 of 20+ I've met who werent and it was a pleasure to work with them, they were 2 of the hardest workers I've ever seen in my life. They would do more than the workers which is how a leader is also supposed to be....LEADING
But that’s doesn’t mean every client wants perfect but it’s just how I cut grass. If it’s not perfect to my standards I feel like I’m ripping people off if I cheap out and don’t go the extra mile
If an employee says that he knows everything is basically because he's hungry for work. Teach him and communicate with new employees of how and what you expect. I wouldn't never let go anyone on the first day, I usually give them a week to see how they do. A lot of time you can get non experience employees and you can teach them your way. Guys that have experience and start working with you don't like to be thought your way or listen to what you have to say because they think they know more than you.. so I prefer someone with no experience and teach him my ways how I like the jobs to get done. Plus by staying in the truck and just starting at your employer makes them not concentrate on there task bro.
Did we watch the same video? I know with the internet we all have the attention span of a gold fish but 2 things. 1) He said he knew everything = lie. The guy clearly never even used the machine before 2) He said he did not need and refused help Why should the owner wait a week for him to figure stuff out?
I don’t understand why you have to record him are you trying to prove something other than him being new? literally it’s his first day it’s not like he’s going to be perfect
In this business I had a lot of supervisors like this went 8 years before being stupid and blowing my back out. I became a manager a little after but still worked with the guys as often as possible when not dealing with clients. The other operations managers were pieces of shit hiring and promoting only people they were cool with outside of work no matter their skill level. This kinda shit ticks me off. (I'm not in landscaping amymore)
As a businessman, you should know to expect people to oversell and under-perform when hiring a new person. You have to teach them your expectations how you expect the flow to go. You can NOT expect someone to come in and do that on day one.
That can go either way. I seen people do way more or way less. The problem here is the guy said he knows what he is doing and does NOT need training. 12:12 The guy moves slower then I would and Im as old as dirt with plates in my knees. He clearly has never done this before and that's ok but admit it and ask for help.
*I think I'm going to show this in my Leadership class. You may not know anything about the "Leadership Structure" but you're a great example of Stage 1 - Title only.*
This is a great example of what a shitty boss looks and acts like. It is your business, your equipment and your show, but you basically set the trap for the kid and let him fall in it. You literally watched him fail. And then blamed it all on him. It doesn't matter if he said he knows it all. Show him that he doesn't and set the standard. Fix what you need to fix and work on making him the type of employee you need, instead of hoping that person falls into your lap. Never once in my 20 years of business have I encountered an employee that didn't need any amount of polish.
Hire a foreman first off let him hire and run his crew. Obviously he hasn’t found anyone worthy but if you pay off the books or nothing good with benefits and raises. Those are the employees you get. They think residential lawn cutting is easy because they cut their own lawn growing up. Some guys are ready to go home when they know how many lawns are on that days route. These guys run them into the ground , (advice to guys going fit jobs on these type of crews). expect to work till there’s no more sun & 6 days a week. and you won’t feel overwhelmed. Also if existing employees truly wanted to help their “company” and know they need the help. They Take the time to help the guy. Instead They finish a lawn pie into the truck. Drive 5 minutes and joke around, pretending it’s fun. Then “ok only 20 more guys, Finish the 20. Ok 2 more and that’s it! “ Lol. If that’s the kind of company you’re at unless you desperately need the cash, get out
And what business do you own? Training someone takes time , and time is money. If i had someone lie to me on the application and obviously doesnt know what hes doing , he will get the boot , but if you say you dont know what you are doing but are willing to learn is a whole different story. Stop talking about shit you dont know about.. First start a business then talk..
@@Lifeless11111 funny, if you google this guys business rn the top 5 links and videos are other lawn care companies bashing this dude for being trash in the industry and how he treats his employees dating back 4 years. Google the lawn care company I work for and you get one top link with the owners name, cell number, and photos of past property’s maintained. Don’t need to own or run a business to use common sense. Wanna blog go blog, wanna own and operate a business then you should put the camera down and act like the owner. Go show the employees your expectations regardless of what they said. Why you might ask? Because that’s how you fix your employee problems🤦🏼♂️ saying goes in order to save money you need to spend money. If you aren’t gonna invest in employees properly then walk away, nobody likes self inflicted victims putting others down behind a camera.
Wow this guy is a pleasure to work for and totally not an ass ! Does nothing shove a camera in your face, sits in the truck the whole time complaining about how behind he is. Barely even attempts to help or fasten up the process 2-3x as fast if he were to contribute and help out, and criticizes the new guy behind his bask his whole entire first day instead of actually trying to teach and train him. And fires him before he even gives him a chance. Way to go ! This guy earns a cookie.
If you watched. The new guy did a few things 1) Said he was experienced. 12:12 Clearly he is not. I seen my kids move faster then him. 2) Said he did not need any training of any kind 3) Said he did not want training when offered.
Opened youtube... went on a random journey as always... and I've ended up here watching a video from a company that should be called "My ego and Garden tidying services inc" Doesn't reflect well on the business that the boss is a clown, laughing and joking with the new guy on film before pulling the rug from under him ON HIS FIRST FUCKING DAY People gotta eat, clothe themselves and pay for stuff and they exchange their time and labour for the money... That's the contract. But you also have responsibilities... how about spending some time ON THE JOB with your employees... Show them what you expect, check their skill level and bring them up to the standard you want. If they don't follow through after a week or two then have the talk. You are a terrible boss...I'm done
Some days it’s. Alright guys. Hit every little thing. Others it’s him walking around nitpicking lol depends if they’re behind or not. Horrible.. only one way to do a job
ill be honest, everything this dude has said, is something id want to hear from a boss, "hes slow but sped will come with time" "if you dont understand something just tell me ill teach you" etc.
Yea bro i would hate.working for this man. Go show him what he needs to do wrong. And you are bashing him. He won't get better if you don't show what you want exactly him to do
People always forget how they use to be in the beginning. They only judge themselves based off how they are in the present time. But you didn't always know what you do today
Are you paying “pro” wages? Being a “pro” comes with experience. Wouldn’t let you train??? How does a new or any employee tell you what will be? Show them the quality you expect in your company
First off, no one knows everything. Second, no one deserves to get fired on the first day if they showed up and are trying, and aren't fucked up and or exposing themselves. trimmers take several years to get good with
I’ve done landscaping off & on for 7+ years, & I’ve always looked up OFTEN to see if my boss was trying to tell me something! No matter how good I think I was doing, LOOK UP & pay attention! He/she may want something different, or whatever. Look up frequently just incase. That being said...if you are not paying your crew what they are worth?!?!? You deserve AMATEURS!! Stop being greedy, we ALL need to make a living 👍🏽
I agree it's your company but as a human being you were a little harsh on the kid by basically saying he was terrible while recording him and uploading it to youtube. That's not right and I think you're smart enough to know that, I THINK. Not cool man that was rude, some things are just not meant to be on film and that was one of them.
16:24 The guy he should actually fire is the so called “pro” guy. He’s whining about weed eating like a little kid. Instead of whining go help your coworker and not sit in the truck. Besides all that you sir need to learn how to be a boss.
There is so much wrongdoing going on in this video, and I ain't necessarily talking about the new guy! Not only are you a terrible employer - you're a piece of work! Never been more happy about unsubscribing.

Would you employ him if he would tell you at the interview that he is not an expert? No, you probably would have not. And firing him on his first day and shaming him on the camera? Ridiculous!
@@sgninjas perhaps, but the way you handled the situation was not appropriate and unprofessional, regardless that you are a TH-camr and you tell then upfront.
I'm 16 and I've been doing landscaping since late 2012, I started and grew, I own a lot of my own equipment which is fairly large and I just got accepted into Auburn Career Center for Landscape Horticulture. I also got hired into a landscaping business and he's already talking to me about owning part of his business, he lets me go do my own thing and at the end he's very happy with the result and ever since I got hired the customers have been happier too. :)
Was in landscaping for 5 years...the only time for me this job was enjoyable was when I was handling things myself. This work is extremely stressing when you have to rely on others. At least for me. The other supervisors constantly pissed me off.
well i look for initiative in an employee justin may be great but is now back in the truck talking to you getting paid he should have a weedeater in his hands without being asked. to move onto the next lawn. and you my friend your awesome but if you want to grow a lot more get out there and start making it quicker because time is money brotha
Bosses help, teach, & show their employees. You were an observer that pointed out what you disliked about the amateurs you hired. Next time, take your time to teach them how to take pride in their work, & how to do it. After 3-4 days, even if they are not as good as you think you are, at least they are better than they were! Patience is DEFINITELY a virtue 👍🏽
I see a lot of comments from people that say this guy is a bad horrible boss. Or "I USED TO HAVE A LANDSCAPING BLA BLA BLA..."Well, this guy is a superior Business Owner, leader, and boss. He knows what he wants in a worker. He doesn't do bullshit and he'll work with you. Just because he hurts your feelings doesnt mean he's a bad Anything. He has a business to run, he wants to get his jobs done, and he wants to get home to his family without stress. As for all the people saying "I USED TO." You dont now because you couldnt.
cutting lawns isn't like cutting your lawn. when you are doing it for a living you have to know what youre doing, because every lawn is diff and you have to be very vigilant by making sure you arent cutting over something like dog chains, sprinkler heads, pipes sticking up from the ground etc... ontop of that you have to finish the lawn in a neat and timely manner, because you can't afford to spend too long on one yard when you're doing 100+ lawns per week. cutting lawns for a living is hard work, it's a grind and many people who never cut lawns for a living before don't truly understand how much hard work and grind it is to cut 20+ lawns in a day every day for a week.
This guy is hateable... Sincerely, some people are not good at making friends and positively influencing the people around them, and this dude is a prime example.
I would like to think that-in one way or another- we have all said something that isn't close to the truth to get a job... Top of that the guy is 23 years old. Be a mentor not a critic.
As a successful businessman, you expect perfection from your employees. That goal is nearly always unattainable. And prospective employees are always going to 'puff' some in an attempt to sell themselves. No one knows everything or performs to the exact expectations of others including their employer. Then too, standing and watching is just plain creepy. Better to be busy and peep while working, or go on an errand then come back and inspect. Any deviations in quality can be rationally discussed upon completion of your inspection. I notice you make fun of this fellow a lot and sort of laugh down your nose at him when in conversation. Not cool. Employees don't want stress to go along with the work they have to do. Try to go back and watch your videos to see what I'm referring to. A casual but firm manner of talking with him is preferable for both of you. If you have overall concern about throttle speed, etc, go over that with him between jobs and let him know the reason for your concern. And lastly, don't expect employees to last forever. People are not like they used to be many years ago. They have options. They will pick up and leave for any reason. Know that when you hire them. And remember to keep your cool and don't let the anxiety get the best of you. You can always go back over a job if necessary and that is easier than replacing employees.
i know i'm late to the party but to all of you who think this man's a bad boss/leader/manager, and/or asshole: if you watched the video, he mentions wanting to explain things to the new guy, to which new guy basically replied "i know what i'm doing". now, the first few days of employment are mostly a probationary period, to judge a potential employees character, reliability and if at all applicable; competence - which in this case applies, because the new guy said he knows what to do. a good manager, at that point, will then usually decide to step away, because if the statement is true and you give the new employee a longass speech regardless, you're likely to give off the impression that you're either a.) ignorant or b.) take the new person for an idiot/liar. so instead of starting off on the wrong foot, you simply step back and watch from afar, preferably without looking like you're tryhard spying on the new employee, in order to confirm that they're a.) competent and b.) in line with your expectations. according to the boss, the guy's work was NOT up to par quality-wise, which is already off-putting considering the employee's claim of being an experience worker. he also mentioned that there was a time-related issue, but (wisely) pointed out the fact that this is something that can be solved in due time by developing proper routines with people that are legitimately inexperienced, BUT want to do good! at the end of the day, due to circumstances, the boss did exactly what you should do with a new employee. interview, estimate level of experience according to statement during interview, and lastly; teach or evaluate. different measures for different scenarios, you simply cannot go through the same routines regardless of these previous steps, THAT is bad management. finally, whoever got his shit into a twist and call the guy a "bad" boss because he wasn't out there working... you're getting a very small sample size here, for starters, and secondly, with different positions come different responsibilities. your boss's job is not to be out there with you 24/7 and entertain you and/or do YOUR job. a good boss knows when it's time to delegate and lead, but also when it's time to plain and simply help out in the field and won't think twice about getting his hands dirty when it's necessary, show you that he's there for you when it really counts - but you really got it twisted if you think a person at a higher level/paygrade should do your job, in addition to his job, and that anything but that is lazy - that's just a naive mentality, to be frank. don't like how that works out? leave and find a place that suits you better then, although i can tell you right now you'll have a hard time finding a place where everything and everybody accommodates your way of thinking/working.
Look, I know these kids nowadays are...for lack of a better word...HORRIBLE workers/employees. We need to be patient, & kind though! We can teach them. They are not brain dead. They need motivation & patience. They have short tempers & will ditch your ass the next day without giving a damn. Cheer them on, keep them coming back, give them confidence, & give them hope for the future. That being said, if you get an ass that deserves to be let go...? DO IT!!! Just realize the differences between those who are giving an effort, & those who just don’t give a damn 👍🏽
DISRESPECTFUL IS WHAT YOU ARE!!!! But I’m sure your dealing with a lot of karma, you need to humble yourself. This TH-cam thing is getting to you and you’re feeling yourself! I’ve been a fan since 2017 , I definitely see the change in you come back to earth “MY NiNja”

Dude, give the guy a break. Okay, he lied to you about his skill level. Train him instead of filming him all day. I would never work for you. Btw, Justin looks like he hates you.
I can feel your pain, being a master certified diesel technician with over 30 years in the rear view. I see these new guys just starting out that don't have a clue, with little desire to expand on what little tools they have. It's frustrating to me because at this point in my career most of what I do is second nature. Good luck finding someone that wants to work and learn.
@@chrisspencer6502 exactly! He forgot he was once a beginner. I bet thrre are people with 5 years experience that would put that old cocky prick to shame.
He would have loved how I had to mow as a teenager for summer jobs. 24 inch push mower with pull start mowing almost at a run. Imagine those "Power walkers" you use to see, but with a lawn mower. That was the pace we worked. Some yards 2x bigger than that in 97 degree weather. Me and the other guy would wring the sweat out of our shirts between yards. These guys have it easy. Ride on mower, I'd have been in heaven.
CO Jones I agree I am very good at mowing with a push mower. Especially because I pretty much built my own push mower by taking good parts of many’s others and putting them on one. And to me it is much more fun to use.
Were the lawns you mowed up hill in all directions too? And had to walk uphill to all the houses after walking uphill to workork and uphill after work to get home?
To: 110 percent: I still love the old ruddy, gizzled veterans harkening bad to his hard and good old days of yore, with their extra arduous tasks -- accomplishing the same thing as the dedicated and efficient today. Ah, life was hard then, eh? And probably this was in the late 80's or 90's. Lol.
"I haven't gotten done nearly as much as I'd like for the day"...well get off your damn phone and help lead the way 'boss man' instead sitting on your arse and talking trash about a new employee. If you have employees quitting all the time, I'd say take a look at the common denominator... You
See this is how I started I didn’t know how to clean new construction windows and didn’t know how to blade or anything but when my boss told me if I knew anything I said no I don’t and from the past 4 years I have been a professional window cleaner at age 20 with shares of the company
i just stumbled across this so you prob dont even remember this comment but that part was so fucking weird to me. this guy is a shitty boss and a fucking weirdo
full throttle doesn't hurt a weedeater... that's how it's designed to run. same with full throttle on a mower... you don't cut at half throttle... you could get done twice as fast if you cut on the other mower too
That’s the difference between lawn mowing and lawn care. Most guys just show up and knock the grass down to nothing. Or they claim to be experts and end up burning up your lawn with fertilizer. This guy is a piece of work. He wants someone to show up and do the work without him lifting a finger and probably wants to pay minimum wage.
How about you stop vlogging and mow with your guy whose mowing all over the yard in random areas on a sketchy ass stand behind If i was that customer i would call else where U filmed and edited a 30 min vlog while dude pays for the truck your sitting in
I remember when I was a teen, my dad taught me how to use the weedeater and gave me an area to clean up. He didn't mention that I didn't need to go full throttle all the time and I ended up snapping the crankshaft. I do not see working in lawn care in my future
I've used self propelled Honda x 1, wipper snipper x 1, and a spare push mower, and done 14 suburban lawns on a full day. For anyone that is new to this, and isn't fit, having manual equipment can drive the life out of you by the end of the day. These lawns are huge compared to what I used to do. I would never go back to mowing lawns. One guy I worked with ended up with a worn out knee after a career mowing. He paid off he's home over the years. Bare in mind I am in AU, and equipment is extremely expensive. The average lawn charge is between $40 - $50. Many use Walker ride-ons, but all the small guys are pushing mowers around. It's still viable, but AU taxes on small business choke business to death now, let alone being able to legitimately/affordably employ someone during the Summer months. That new guy in this video isn't thinking about the task at hand. He was exhausted by the end of the day, and could hurt himself. I bet he was sore the following day!

But that’s doesn’t mean every client wants perfect but it’s just how I cut grass. If it’s not perfect to my standards I feel like I’m ripping people off if I cheap out and don’t go the extra mile
If an employee says that he knows everything is basically because he's hungry for work. Teach him and communicate with new employees of how and what you expect. I wouldn't never let go anyone on the first day, I usually give them a week to see how they do. A lot of time you can get non experience employees and you can teach them your way. Guys that have experience and start working with you don't like to be thought your way or listen to what you have to say because they think they know more than you.. so I prefer someone with no experience and teach him my ways how I like the jobs to get done. Plus by staying in the truck and just starting at your employer makes them not concentrate on there task bro.
you sound like an amazing boss broskie
@@GustavoGonzalez-cj4hd I try to be bro. Saludos carnal
Did we watch the same video? I know with the internet we all have the attention span of a gold fish but 2 things.
1) He said he knew everything = lie. The guy clearly never even used the machine before
2) He said he did not need and refused help
Why should the owner wait a week for him to figure stuff out?
If you where my boss I would ask you to step out the truck and duke it out lol. Everyone has to learn
Being in the union I always have work LOL
VZNRYFILMZ you sound mad
I don’t understand why you have to record him are you trying to prove something other than him being new? literally it’s his first day it’s not like he’s going to be perfect
His line is too short, walk with him. 35 years in the business for me.walk and teach him. He’ll get it with your guidance.
Donald Meisenzahl Yeah it takes time. This guy expects him to be perfect on the first day
LukeyLukeTV your right.
In this business I had a lot of supervisors like this went 8 years before being stupid and blowing my back out. I became a manager a little after but still worked with the guys as often as possible when not dealing with clients. The other operations managers were pieces of shit hiring and promoting only people they were cool with outside of work no matter their skill level. This kinda shit ticks me off.
(I'm not in landscaping amymore)
As a businessman, you should know to expect people to oversell and under-perform when hiring a new person. You have to teach them your expectations how you expect the flow to go. You can NOT expect someone to come in and do that on day one.
That can go either way. I seen people do way more or way less.
The problem here is the guy said he knows what he is doing and does NOT need training. 12:12 The guy moves slower then I would and Im as old as dirt with plates in my knees.
He clearly has never done this before and that's ok but admit it and ask for help.
How do you have 40K subs. Worst boss man I swear.

WHO ASKED ASS HOLE
*I think I'm going to show this in my Leadership class. You may not know anything about the "Leadership Structure" but you're a great example of Stage 1 - Title only.*
This is a great example of what a shitty boss looks and acts like. It is your business, your equipment and your show, but you basically set the trap for the kid and let him fall in it. You literally watched him fail. And then blamed it all on him. It doesn't matter if he said he knows it all. Show him that he doesn't and set the standard.
Fix what you need to fix and work on making him the type of employee you need, instead of hoping that person falls into your lap. Never once in my 20 years of business have I encountered an employee that didn't need any amount of polish.
Hire a foreman first off let him hire and run his crew. Obviously he hasn’t found anyone worthy but if you pay off the books or nothing good with benefits and raises. Those are the employees you get. They think residential lawn cutting is easy because they cut their own lawn growing up. Some guys are ready to go home when they know how many lawns are on that days route. These guys run them into the ground , (advice to guys going fit jobs on these type of crews). expect to work till there’s no more sun & 6 days a week. and you won’t feel overwhelmed. Also if existing employees truly wanted to help their “company” and know they need the help. They Take the time to help the guy. Instead They finish a lawn pie into the truck. Drive 5 minutes and joke around, pretending it’s fun. Then “ok only 20 more guys, Finish the 20. Ok 2 more and that’s it! “ Lol. If that’s the kind of company you’re at unless you desperately need the cash, get out
And you sound like the kind of boss all bosses should be. My best opinion, this guy is trying to look big because he’s making a video.
Honestly, it's 8 o clock and the "boss" isn't dirty at all. Maybe if he stopped blogging and helped, they could've hit their mark.
And what business do you own? Training someone takes time , and time is money. If i had someone lie to me on the application and obviously doesnt know what hes doing , he will get the boot , but if you say you dont know what you are doing but are willing to learn is a whole different story. Stop talking about shit you dont know about.. First start a business then talk..
@@Lifeless11111 funny, if you google this guys business rn the top 5 links and videos are other lawn care companies bashing this dude for being trash in the industry and how he treats his employees dating back 4 years. Google the lawn care company I work for and you get one top link with the owners name, cell number, and photos of past property’s maintained. Don’t need to own or run a business to use common sense. Wanna blog go blog, wanna own and operate a business then you should put the camera down and act like the owner. Go show the employees your expectations regardless of what they said. Why you might ask? Because that’s how you fix your employee problems🤦🏼♂️ saying goes in order to save money you need to spend money. If you aren’t gonna invest in employees properly then walk away, nobody likes self inflicted victims putting others down behind a camera.
This is by far the weirdest shit I've ever seen on TH-cam
underrated comment
So true 😂
Seriously this dude is a fucking creep
Wow this guy is a pleasure to work for and totally not an ass ! Does nothing shove a camera in your face, sits in the truck the whole time complaining about how behind he is. Barely even attempts to help or fasten up the process 2-3x as fast if he were to contribute and help out, and criticizes the new guy behind his bask his whole entire first day instead of actually trying to teach and train him. And fires him before he even gives him a chance. Way to go ! This guy earns a cookie.
If you watched.
The new guy did a few things
1) Said he was experienced. 12:12 Clearly he is not. I seen my kids move faster then him.
2) Said he did not need any training of any kind
3) Said he did not want training when offered.
You already knew you was gonna fire him because you already had a replacement.... so why hire the dude?
It seems someone wants to be a TH-cam star instead of showing this newbie how he wants it done, regardless of what the new employee says.
Opened youtube... went on a random journey as always... and I've ended up here watching a video from a company that should be called "My ego and Garden tidying services inc"
Doesn't reflect well on the business that the boss is a clown, laughing and joking with the new guy on film before pulling the rug from under him ON HIS FIRST FUCKING DAY
People gotta eat, clothe themselves and pay for stuff and they exchange their time and labour for the money... That's the contract. But you also have responsibilities... how about spending some time ON THE JOB with your employees... Show them what you expect, check their skill level and bring them up to the standard you want. If they don't follow through after a week or two then have the talk.
You are a terrible boss...I'm done
Do you follow your employees around and micro manage all day? Do you ever help them? Does anyone ever call you a ninja turtle? Can I get a job?
💀💀
Some days it’s. Alright guys. Hit every little thing. Others it’s him walking around nitpicking lol depends if they’re behind or not. Horrible.. only one way to do a job
ill be honest, everything this dude has said, is something id want to hear from a boss, "hes slow but sped will come with time" "if you dont understand something just tell me ill teach you" etc.
I swear this video is like watching someone mow the lawn.
Clicked on the video seen his truck and i already knew everything i needed to know about this bossman

Yea bro i would hate.working for this man. Go show him what he needs to do wrong. And you are bashing him. He won't get better if you don't show what you want exactly him to do
When I started at a job where I had no experience I was always honest. It helped me go further than lying or embellishing anything.
People always forget how they use to be in the beginning. They only judge themselves based off how they are in the present time. But you didn't always know what you do today
Are you paying “pro” wages? Being a “pro” comes with experience. Wouldn’t let you train??? How does a new or any employee tell you what will be? Show them the quality you expect in your company
Dude set him up to fail from jump, he was just looking for the extra hands to help out for the day.
sitting down and watching this video I can pretty much say you had dude fired from jump.
First off, no one knows everything. Second, no one deserves to get fired on the first day if they showed up and are trying, and aren't fucked up and or exposing themselves. trimmers take several years to get good with

I agree it's your company but as a human being you were a little harsh on the kid by basically saying he was terrible while recording him and uploading it to youtube. That's not right and I think you're smart enough to know that, I THINK. Not cool man that was rude, some things are just not meant to be on film and that was one of them.
Seems like there are plenty of other jobs out there. This guy loves that he's in charge. Plenty of other bosses too.
All he had to do was get out of that truck and show the guy and everything would have been okay.
I'm on my 4th year of mowing with my buddy and I am still learning new things about mowing and weed eating. I even ask questions to!!.
16:24 The guy he should actually fire is the so called “pro” guy. He’s whining about weed eating like a little kid. Instead of whining go help your coworker and not sit in the truck. Besides all that you sir need to learn how to be a boss.
I'd agree with other people saying you were harsh BUT if he is rejecting guidance, saying he is experienced, then screw it.

I also got hired into a landscaping business and he's already talking to me about owning part of his business, he lets me go do my own thing and at the end he's very happy with the result and ever since I got hired the customers have been happier too. :)
Cool story bro
@@Nick-kw9oz 😂

Was in landscaping for 5 years...the only time for me this job was enjoyable was when I was handling things myself. This work is extremely stressing when you have to rely on others. At least for me.
The other supervisors constantly pissed me off.
well i look for initiative in an employee justin may be great but is now back in the truck talking to you getting paid he should have a weedeater in his hands without being asked. to move onto the next lawn. and you my friend your awesome but if you want to grow a lot more get out there and start making it quicker because time is money brotha
I look for quality. I can help make you faster, you have to be good at weed eating to begin with though.
Yep exactly
Bosses help, teach, & show their employees. You were an observer that pointed out what you disliked about the amateurs you hired.

How in the hell did I just watch all this and now I'm hooked? damn. I didn't think lawn care would be interesting.
I see a lot of comments from people that say this guy is a bad horrible boss. Or "I USED TO HAVE A LANDSCAPING BLA BLA BLA..."Well, this guy is a superior Business Owner, leader, and boss. He knows what he wants in a worker. He doesn't do bullshit and he'll work with you. Just because he hurts your feelings doesnt mean he's a bad Anything. He has a business to run, he wants to get his jobs done, and he wants to get home to his family without stress. As for all the people saying "I USED TO." You dont now because you couldnt.
cutting lawns isn't like cutting your lawn. when you are doing it for a living you have to know what youre doing, because every lawn is diff and you have to be very vigilant by making sure you arent cutting over something like dog chains, sprinkler heads, pipes sticking up from the ground etc... ontop of that you have to finish the lawn in a neat and timely manner, because you can't afford to spend too long on one yard when you're doing 100+ lawns per week. cutting lawns for a living is hard work, it's a grind and many people who never cut lawns for a living before don't truly understand how much hard work and grind it is to cut 20+ lawns in a day every day for a week.
At the end he said fuck your weedeater. He started full throttling like hell😂
This guy is hateable... Sincerely, some people are not good at making friends and positively influencing the people around them, and this dude is a prime example.

Agree
I would like to think that-in one way or another- we have all said something that isn't close to the truth to get a job... Top of that the guy is 23 years old. Be a mentor not a critic.
As a successful businessman, you expect perfection from your employees. That goal is nearly always unattainable. And prospective employees are always going to 'puff' some in an attempt to sell themselves. No one knows everything or performs to the exact expectations of others including their employer. Then too, standing and watching is just plain creepy. Better to be busy and peep while working, or go on an errand then come back and inspect. Any deviations in quality can be rationally discussed upon completion of your inspection. I notice you make fun of this fellow a lot and sort of laugh down your nose at him when in conversation. Not cool. Employees don't want stress to go along with the work they have to do. Try to go back and watch your videos to see what I'm referring to. A casual but firm manner of talking with him is preferable for both of you. If you have overall concern about throttle speed, etc, go over that with him between jobs and let him know the reason for your concern. And lastly, don't expect employees to last forever. People are not like they used to be many years ago. They have options. They will pick up and leave for any reason. Know that when you hire them. And remember to keep your cool and don't let the anxiety get the best of you. You can always go back over a job if necessary and that is easier than replacing employees.
i know i'm late to the party but to all of you who think this man's a bad boss/leader/manager, and/or asshole:
if you watched the video, he mentions wanting to explain things to the new guy, to which new guy basically replied "i know what i'm doing". now, the first few days of employment are mostly a probationary period, to judge a potential employees character, reliability and if at all applicable; competence - which in this case applies, because the new guy said he knows what to do.
a good manager, at that point, will then usually decide to step away, because if the statement is true and you give the new employee a longass speech regardless, you're likely to give off the impression that you're either a.) ignorant or b.) take the new person for an idiot/liar. so instead of starting off on the wrong foot, you simply step back and watch from afar, preferably without looking like you're tryhard spying on the new employee, in order to confirm that they're a.) competent and b.) in line with your expectations.
according to the boss, the guy's work was NOT up to par quality-wise, which is already off-putting considering the employee's claim of being an experience worker. he also mentioned that there was a time-related issue, but (wisely) pointed out the fact that this is something that can be solved in due time by developing proper routines with people that are legitimately inexperienced, BUT want to do good!
at the end of the day, due to circumstances, the boss did exactly what you should do with a new employee. interview, estimate level of experience according to statement during interview, and lastly; teach or evaluate. different measures for different scenarios, you simply cannot go through the same routines regardless of these previous steps, THAT is bad management.
finally, whoever got his shit into a twist and call the guy a "bad" boss because he wasn't out there working... you're getting a very small sample size here, for starters, and secondly, with different positions come different responsibilities. your boss's job is not to be out there with you 24/7 and entertain you and/or do YOUR job. a good boss knows when it's time to delegate and lead, but also when it's time to plain and simply help out in the field and won't think twice about getting his hands dirty when it's necessary, show you that he's there for you when it really counts - but you really got it twisted if you think a person at a higher level/paygrade should do your job, in addition to his job, and that anything but that is lazy - that's just a naive mentality, to be frank. don't like how that works out? leave and find a place that suits you better then, although i can tell you right now you'll have a hard time finding a place where everything and everybody accommodates your way of thinking/working.

He would have loved how I had to mow as a teenager for summer jobs. 24 inch push mower with pull start mowing almost at a run. Imagine those "Power walkers" you use to see, but with a lawn mower. That was the pace we worked. Some yards 2x bigger than that in 97 degree weather. Me and the other guy would wring the sweat out of our shirts between yards. These guys have it easy. Ride on mower, I'd have been in heaven.

I agree I am very good at mowing with a push mower. Especially because I pretty much built my own push mower by taking good parts of many’s others and putting them on one. And to me it is much more fun to use.

See this is how I started I didn’t know how to clean new construction windows and didn’t know how to blade or anything but when my boss told me if I knew anything I said no I don’t and from the past 4 years I have been a professional window cleaner at age 20 with shares of the company
Dude did you forget about the 36" why did he find that so funny lol?
i just stumbled across this so you prob dont even remember this comment but that part was so fucking weird to me. this guy is a shitty boss and a fucking weirdo
You do what the boss wants; if he wants low revs then that is what you do. That doggie so cute!
The new guy needed to advance the line!
full throttle doesn't hurt a weedeater... that's how it's designed to run. same with full throttle on a mower... you don't cut at half throttle... you could get done twice as fast if you cut on the other mower too
you call that grass? just let it grow wild, will look much better😁
That’s the difference between lawn mowing and lawn care. Most guys just show up and knock the grass down to nothing. Or they claim to be experts and end up burning up your lawn with fertilizer. This guy is a piece of work. He wants someone to show up and do the work without him lifting a finger and probably wants to pay minimum wage.
@@strangefruit8776 yup exactly what he does lol

During a drought you still need to get the weeds and leaves then edge and blow right?
i wish my job started at 7am maybe id actually get a full night of sleep lol
I remember when I was a teen, my dad taught me how to use the weedeater and gave me an area to clean up. He didn't mention that I didn't need to go full throttle all the time and I ended up snapping the crankshaft. I do not see working in lawn care in my future
They love to use the string too short so it breaks off and if they can't take direction, they are history.
I've used self propelled Honda x 1, wipper snipper x 1, and a spare push mower, and done 14 suburban lawns on a full day. For anyone that is new to this, and isn't fit, having manual equipment can drive the life out of you by the end of the day. These lawns are huge compared to what I used to do. I would never go back to mowing lawns. One guy I worked with ended up with a worn out knee after a career mowing. He paid off he's home over the years. Bare in mind I am in AU, and equipment is extremely expensive. The average lawn charge is between $40 - $50. Many use Walker ride-ons, but all the small guys are pushing mowers around. It's still viable, but AU taxes on small business choke business to death now, let alone being able to legitimately/affordably employ someone during the Summer months. That new guy in this video isn't thinking about the task at hand. He was exhausted by the end of the day, and could hurt himself. I bet he was sore the following day!
