Stressful jobs? (26)

Three weeks ago one of the new drivers got totally lost on his run, he was more concerned about the other drivers having to help him out later to finish his run, I was the nearest truck and at the time just around the corner, so I showed him where he was where he had too go and assured him the other two drivers on his run didn’t mind helping him out when they finished their sections of the job, a week latter he was in a hospital after having a breakdown, today another driver called up on the two-way that he was suffering chest pains? And finding it hard to breath, he was parked at the depot an asked for an ambulance, so as I parked up he was getting carted off to hospital, he only said this morning that when I went in for my op that he would be getting heaps of overtime, are people taking their jobs to seriously these days? I keep asking the boss when do I get too train the new guys to show them the ways off the dark side!

How about you? Is work getting too stressful? Or do you just put your brain in park mode and go about the day as I do, as my job is very repetitive but you still have too keep a sharp eye out as I am on the road all day in a ten tone truck,

Hi Blizzard... ( hope you foot is not giving you curry )

Jeez, now that poor colleague of yours.. that is taking your job very seriously, but would he have been better if he had done some preparation work, and visualised in his head a map that he studied the night before ??? , clearly, he didn't, and then that became his own problematic stress??

Yes, my job is stressful... I have 2 jobs, 2 contracts...

I make sure that I have notes, and to do list going, and when on Tuesday I leave the HR job, I make notes for the following Monday morning in my diary, a re run of what I was up to...
It doesn't always work, but it sure makes it better..

My other job is dealing with people, so that is just different every five mins, plus for 1.5 hrs a day, I relieve main reception, so there comes along another set of troubles..( usually to do with the car pool)

So what I have done is created a work book on Excel, called ' Finding Aids' and within each sheet which I have named.. I add all the relevant emails so that way, I can update and send it to all the staff to be able to access all new procedures, staff changes, phone number extension changes with ease. I have included all the Emergency Relief places, etc..

I did a Myers Briggs training last Friday. I am a IS T P ... totally look for the most expedient way...

Actually the boss had rushed him into the job because of my injury? The boss doesn’t want me working any extra shifts so as not to injure my ankle anymore? He doesn’t mind me picking up the slack off the new guys as that’s part of the job? As they are new, also when a truck goes down and needs repair the other drivers are required to finish his run,

It’s the bosses problem atm, as I have to go for the op in two weeks and could be off for up too 12 weeks, one guy is not fully trained or confidant, and another guy just had a possible wakeup call, the boss is going to end up short of drivers real quick at this rate,

I don’t know about HR people as all off them at work have left in the last year, leaving the safety guy running it all, even the executive manager has left or is on charges?

But its an exciting job ATM

Must admit I used to get stressed out .
These days I just do the best I can and keep happy .
When I get snowed under and my line backs up with work . Always get told the same answer no sorry no one can help. Usually a driver will help me out while my own team ignores me .
My job is a 2 person job higher ups insist its not
One of my jobs at 6.30 is to pack up the early runs eskies . They had 3 of us triple handling while i packed up an esky the other 2 would unpack and add extra stock !!!
I querried this and was told we are behind when I said why was I not stopped from packing .All I got was a stupid look and thats your job!! Even though the work wasn't ready
So yes while my job can be stressful and bosses are reactive .I just stay happy
