"Were you not listening to the conversation we just had?" Ricky, my dude, its management. As soon as you say the forbidden words, "raise" or "days off" or "vacation" or "PTO", they stop listening.
Terrible negotiating. You don't demonstrate bad abilities to try and sell that you're actually skilled. That's like a dealer giving a spiked to hell sample to a new customer. You give them a small taste of the good shit, leave them wanting more of what you have, and then use that desire to leverage yourself into a better position.
@@zeropolicy7456 sounds good to me... Ricky just wants the Boss Man to keep to his word and give him that raise. Then the "Good advice" will be supplied. 😂
@@CloudHindlen Yeah, but we know, just as bossman does, that Ricky is a habitual liar. And according to the lore, he has by far the most worksite fuckups. Especially with rental equipment. I don't think bossman is willing to bet a $3 raise on Ricky telling the truth for once. Lol.
Well he's right good advice is not free it took him time to lean the good stuff, if some on ever gives you good advice repay them in away you can dont even need to be money could just buy them a drink at a bar or go out for a coffee.
I love watching people struggle at work , but if you try to help them they usually get offended and argue so it’s better just to watch the struggle 😂😂😂
So true. I'm the second newest guy at a mechanic shop, I've officially hit "Doin' Ma Told" mode at work. When I know the right way to do something, it's sad that I still have to ask if that's the way we're going to do it. The question is "Fixed or Running?".
its even better when the newbie struggling got hired 2 weeks ago, makes 30 cents less than you do but you've been there 5 years. best is when the new guy thinks he knows everything and can do it faster than anyone else, at least in his mind.
@@darrellfrenzel8524 I had this exact thing happen, boss walks up and asks how it's going, new guy: "he's impossible to work with, he doesn't know what he's doing " Boss: "he's trained half the guys in this shop, including me when I was brand new" Next week him: "can you help me" Me: absolutely not, your completely on your own and I'm the only trainer so good luck. It took about two weeks for me to let it go and start "helping" him. I started sending that one guy that no one can stand over to help him out.
sounds a bit like a problem i had with my old boss. boss: how come you can work so fast when its a fixed pay for the job but not when you work on other stuff ? me: well if i only get paid to work with one hand then thats what i do. my salary works like a speedometer . bagged a 30% raise after that XD
Ricky is spitting facts like crazy. I quit giving our good advice years ago since I am the only one 6 been at my site for 15 years, and my management only been here for 6 years total, and yes I am combining them together. Then again, what do I know it's not like I been around the longest and seen the most.
Never teach your way out of a job. Too many folks focus on a handful of skills and get talked into training their replacement. I left a job that wouldn't hold up their agreement to get certs on heavy equipment but wanted me to teach the new supervisor how to do my job. I all but laughed in the operations manager's face and told them good luck. "I wish there was something we could do to get you to stay" was the parting words from the second ops manager. I happily told him that there was something they could've done, specifically what they promised in the first damn place. That ended the conversation real quick. 😂
Episode request: After Safety Guy introduces a particularly stupid new policy, Ricky snaps, going on a murderous rampage, killing off Safety Guy and Roscoe. Boss Man comes to work, discovers them dead, and is chased by a crazed Ricky out for blood on a forklift. When it seems all hope is lost and Boss Man's death is inevitable...he wakes up. Feeling relieved, he goes to a safety meeting where Safety Guy is introducing a stupid new policy...
I've always said some people cannot be taught. Their mind is like a shot glass, information you share is a 5th of whiskey, if you pour all that information into that shot glass mind..your going to lose some.🤣🤣
I often forget you’re just one dude playing all these characters - very great job by the way - but I have a question: Has anyone ever passed by or walked in on you mid conversation with yourself? 😂 Also, I’m sure you’re used to it by now, but was it weird talking aloud to yourself the first few times?
I feel ricky on this. You can only help and go behind and fix so many issues before you so screw it yall are grown a$$ adults do your job and figure it out.
The same goes for asking your boss as a referent. He got asked about if he was ok to be a ref to another coworker, he said yes and coworker went away. Boss then turned to me and said "he didnt ask if I was gonna be a good rererence". That stayed with me and when I left a few years later I asked him if he was ok to being a *good reference* to me. He cracked a big smile at me for asking the right question and said yeah no problem.
As a former laborer turned site Manager i sort of agree with the ricky😂, but the boss man has a point. Keep making these videos guys, you bring alot of laughter to a job site on the other side of the planet. Cheers jake New Zealand 😂👍👍
This is a loaded topic when i started out I always tried to work with the old hands didn't stay with all the young bucks. Now a days if your teaching someone its your '"cheaper "' replacement. GL
I'm with Ricky on this I wouldn't stop my job to do someone else's job for them and it is the safety man's job to train them properly or help them with advice not the workers
Anytime your welding a pipe and your having a problem in the same place all the time, make that your starting point, now Ricky this is free Advice😂 Because free advice should be worth something.😂

Sir your grandfather sounds like a great man
Sounds just like my grandfather 😂
I want that as a short I would wear it around my job 24/7
That's sounds like something my late old man would say.
I get it!!! Your grandfather must hadden the same problem ricky got😅😂😂😂
"Were you not listening to the conversation we just had?" Ricky, my dude, its management. As soon as you say the forbidden words, "raise" or "days off" or "vacation" or "PTO", they stop listening.
Hell it's usually when you start talking to them about anything lol.
Bold of you to assume they were listening to begin with.
@@justinbandy2610 Yep that's true like the saying goes in one ear out the other.
Now if you say that U word. Better be right with god
Ricky's negotiation skills are top notch 😂
It's great.
He gives boss man an example of the free advice he gives every day to motivate him for the raise. 🤣😂

There's a difference between free advice and good advice. And Ricky said what will be convincing him to do the good advice.
One of the people I instantly go watch the videos of whenever the upload
Me too!
I concur lol, the only channel I have notifications on for
Me too and when I'm having a bad day I always go to a playlist I made of his favorite ones for me and I play it
Ricky is a special kind of undercover boss.😉🤠🤠
I'm convinced Ricky has been the like the undercover boss shit

I love how Ricky threw out three dollars out there. This guy is hilarious 😂
I'm still waiting to find out if Ricky is actually the real boss/owner
He has to be atleast co owner
@@plattyog or maybe just best friends with if he's not
@@jjrulez1596 the world may never know 🤔
Me too.
@@Ford-dc9mu He is in it for the entire season lol
I absolutely look forward to keeping up with 'Ricky's" antics! Keep up the good work Sir!!!!

@@ChalkyHonky Love the name!
Has "new guy" met "toolstore tommy" yet?. Getting to know what sets off the toolstore guy is always a steep learning curve.
Halloween episode
I've always said some people cannot be taught. Their mind is like a shot glass, information you share is a 5th of whiskey, if you pour all that information into that shot glass mind..your going to lose some.🤣🤣
Most of it. They're gonna lose _most_ of it.
I agree with Ricky. , free is different than paid advice. 🤣🤣🤣
And as the old as time saying goes: you get what you pay for.
You paid nothing for the advice, what were you expecting?
😂😂😂Dammit, Ricky and his "FREE" advice 😂😂😂😂🎉
I often forget you’re just one dude playing all these characters - very great job by the way - but I have a question:
Has anyone ever passed by or walked in on you mid conversation with yourself? 😂

You can only help and go behind and fix so many issues before you so screw it yall are grown a$$ adults do your job and figure it out.

Me and the guys I work with watch these videos and we can relate to Ricky
Ricky nails it again 👍
I love your content
Check and mate, so long as the checks in the mail😆
Speakin facts
I've often wondered what it would look like if all the voices in my head were on a video. Nice to see I'm not the only one.
I. LOVE. Ricky 😂😂😂
I'd like to see Ricky's reaction to the Buc-ee's girl.
I'm playing this for my boss at review time. 😂
Good luck brave one 🫡🫡
Ricky is my Spirit animal! 😅
At least Ricky is honest and upfront
This gives off the "good workers are hard to find, that's why I hide all day" vibes :p
I swear I need Ricky to be my paid spokesperson 😂😂
You should come to the CMA this month
Roscoe should have definitely been in on this conversation!
Dam right Ricky you tell him 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Oh! Awesome! 😂😂😂
I'm with Ricky on this I wouldn't stop my job to do someone else's job for them and it is the safety man's job to train them properly or help them with advice not the workers
I love it
I suppose it really is a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll!
Bossman wanting Ricky to be a manager without management pay!
lol......just awsome
You damn right
I have friends in management... I'm showing them this... Maybe then they'll understand why I don't wanna train anymore 😂
Get em Ricky
Best video ever
I'm with Ricky on that. I'll keep you from killing yourself but good advice costs more
thats right! easiest way to make the bottom look like the top is to fuck the top up too! solid advice!
Has a point boss man
Sounds good 👍
😂 Isn’t that the damn truth. Couldn’t of said it better. Ima need you to come up off that $3/hr if you wanna hear some good advice!
LoLz Ricky speaking hard truths again LoLz
That was some funny s*** right there but true
Rite on Ricky!
Good work isn't cheap and cheap work isn't good.😊
I just had this conversation abt having to work around people's stupidity at work you can't fix stupid
work matches the pay. you want more out of me, you gotta put more in my check!
Hell yeah boyyyyyyy
Ricky playing 4D chess trying to get the company he secretly owns to pay him $3 an hour more
hey if you want good advice it ain't free bossman 😂
The boss is letting it slip, careful Ricky
I agree with Ricky
I deal with this everyday there are people that make more money than I do and they can't do half of what I can
Lololol Ricky!
Okay I am finally convinced Ricky for president 2024
Every place has a Ricky, every place can afford to lose their Ricky.
Good advice is never Free.99$ good job Ricky
More tool room tommie!
Hi Ricky, what effect do you use to get the big lips and eyes and weird voice? I wanna try it. Does anyone happen to know? Thanks!
You would think the owner of the company would just give himself a nice raise when he felt he deserved it
Anytime your welding a pipe and your having a problem in the same place all the time, make that your starting point, now Ricky this is free Advice😂 Because free advice should be worth something.😂
Now That Sounds like A Bosses observation.
Maybe Ricky Secretly Works as a Consoltant for corporate lol
Learned in my 20's good advice is never for free.
Then you have awful family, friends, peers, and coworkers. I feel sorry for you
@@rayzerot I'll say a prayer for you all be it a small one.
Yep this video proves Ricky is the owner.
