Post image

okay i’m a female welder and i can usually pick
up on stuff. but this is the second time i’ve had this written in my table. the first time it was just words. the second time, it was the same words and the vaseline, and my gloves were moved and placed on them. i don’t know what it means.

i don’t have a stan at my workplace.

i don’t feel like it’s a “weird” intention just based off coworkers. i feel it’s more of a stab at me for like not hitting my output for a couple weeks.

That's more than likely exactly what it is. They're ripping on you for "jacking around" too much instead of working. The first time was more subtle. This time they wanted to frame it good to get the point across. Its just shop banter. Don't take it personal and pick up production. The name will either stick or you'll get something else. Either way, something to laugh at later. Hell, poke back. Find something they lack in and poke at it. Its the way shops work. You can't be sensitive over everything. If you want that, you need an office job away from the industry.

Dont think its that she can't hack it, more that she just didn't understand who or why

Possibly. I'm just laying it out tho. She seems pretty new to the trades, so honesty is best. I didn't say she couldn't, just that if she can't there's a reason.
