Now, as far as the pumper with the bald tires and the chains breaking and you taking your concerns to the chief and them being dismissed, that's a crime! He sounds like an arrogant jerk, like no one tells him what to do or how to do it. Typical with some chiefs, as we all know. Not all but some. Some chiefs still remember where they came from and will bend over backwards for us. But your boss sounds like a piece of work. Good luck with him, Brother! Stay safe out there! Karma has a way of working things out!
[/quote] "Arrogant jerk" is definately not the proper term for him. "Inappropriate, unprofessional buffoon" would be way more accurate.
He's not a "my way or the highway" type of chief. He's more of a "leave me alone and don't bother me with your problems" type of chief. I'm positive that the concern was dismissed largely because it came from me. I've never really been that "go along to get along" type of person and typically outspoken when stuff's messed up or doesn't make sense. Some might label me as a "trouble maker", but really it's more of a being an "advocate" for doing the job the way it's supposed to be kind of thing.
