Why you shouldn't shout at the helper. Opinion

Recently I observed the situation. The garage frame is sheathed with profiled sheets, and the owner, who himself is taking part in the construction, did not like what the assistant was doing, screwing something in the wrong place. Shouting and swearing with an indication of specific actions, the assistant begins to do at the behest, again the wrong thing, again the shout, that is extinguished. As a result, the owner climbs onto the roof and does it himself, naturally, commenting in his emotional style.

Many people do not have enough patience, calmly and normally to explain to the person who helps, and if they start screaming, then he is generally lost. What's the use, but no. I myself always explain without raising my voice, trying to understand what is incomprehensible to the person who agreed to help. Because of this, the work is getting better, and enters into a normal rhythm, like a warm engine.

Stories when he was a helper

There were four of us, a foreman, two repairmen, and I, an assistant. Once one of them gives me a spatula with mortar, putty. I apply the first layer, get the risks, start smoothing, and the mixture begins to roll into lumps. Laughs, you can’t be a student, and he didn’t explain how to do it.

The next time, the same character, connects the electric meter, I look, it's wrong, I tell him about it, he is who you teach. Look, I say, there is a diagram on the lid. He puts on glasses, looks, but I see that he cannot read it. Okay, he says, I'll do it your way, but I'll ask the foreman later. And he asked if he connected it correctly, to which he received an affirmative answer. And if not, guess who he pointed to? 😉
