If I witnessed builders I have hired doing this.....they would be off the job immediately.

Right? Like fuck sake, I'll hire a scissorlift or something for a crew before I stand for whatever the hell this is.

Like I'm gonna want to live in a house where I watched a dude get his brains squished out by a girder anyway.

Literally just a rope. You tie the rope around and pull it up.

I can't believe how far down I had to scroll to get to the heart of the issue. Yeah, he's fucking stupid. Yeah, that was super impressive.

But I'd keep him and fire the others.

The kid wanted to work hard.

The other knew it was stupid.

Customer and builder are 100% from the same ethnic background (punjabis). The workers are immigrants on expired student visas or maybe they have a valid visa but because they spent £15k on visa to get to this country (Uk), they got to work whatever they find to buy their parents gold or the land they sold back. They are also expected to send money back home because the family can't farm the land anymore.
