Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
It's Sunday—how are you spending your day?
Since I haven't been able to take time off on weekends lately, I took the kids night skiing last night.
As you'd expect, there weren't many people around since it was nighttime.
The roads aren't crowded, and the prices are super cheap!!
So, we left in the evening and reached Dynaland in Gifu in an hour and a half.
I was exhausted from delivering machinery first thing in the morning, so I just fell asleep in the car for about an hour lol.
Meanwhile, the kids just go off on their own to have fun snowboarding. (It’s so easy since I let them go on their own every time, lol.)
However, my second son was struck by a board held by a grown man and sustained an injury (a bruise).
Apparently, it plowed right into my second son, who was sitting on the side of the slope.
And then, after saying, “You’ll be okay, right?” they drove off without stopping...
If an adult did that, it would be a crime.
But that's beside the point.
Responsibilities as a Slope Stabilization Contractor
I think there are all sorts of responsibilities that come with being a slope maintenance contractor.
As a construction company, we always take responsibility!
The moment you shirk responsibility, you’ve effectively abandoned that role, haven’t you?
In situations like this, running away might be a good temporary solution, but the consequences of doing so will come back to haunt you later.
Definitely. (“What goes around comes around” is such a powerful phrase.)
I, too, have lots of things that scare me or that I just don't like.
But I made up my mind a long time ago.
"I won't run away." (That's really hard, isn't it? I'm still working on it.)
Accept everything. (By “everything,” I mean the seeds you yourself have sown.)
I don't think it happens much these days, but it used to happen all the time.
The so-called "splitting one's butt."
There are some contractors who walk off the job midway through the project if the pay isn't right.
Back when I was just starting out, there was a time when craftsmen’s salaries were extremely high, so it was an era where craftsmen held more sway than supervisors.
There have been times when I got into trouble for making the boss there angry...
The foreman, who knows that the work can't move forward without the workers, sometimes deliberately halts work on the job site.
There was that kind of weird back-and-forth. (I think directors over 40 with experience will know exactly what I mean, lol.)
I really hate that kind of thing, so when it happens, I find the next crew and bring them in. (The director just doesn't want to stop filming!)
Then the boss went to my supervisor—not to me—in a huge rage.
We're exchanging purchase orders and order acknowledgments, right?
If the on-site conditions aren't right, you should discuss the matter during construction and have a thorough discussion after the work is completed.
And if you can't reach an agreement there, you won't have to work there in the future.
That, tooResponsibility for the Work UndertakenThat's it.
Something like that happened to us a little while ago, too—it was the biggest loss we've ever had since we started this entertainment business lol
It was such a huge loss it was almost laughable, but the general contractor covered it during our final meeting.
It's gone from a huge deficit to just a small one, lol.
Of course I'll take on future projects from Coco's general contractor! I really like that general contractor, after all!
So, we'll take on the project even if it means operating at a loss! (Though I'll probably end up saying, "You'll have to figure out the rest," lol.)
*I wouldn't take on a job if I knew from the start it would be a money-loser lol*
Roles and Responsibilities
Whether or not you keep this in mind makes a difference in your work.
Role: Slope Maintenance Worker
Responsibility: Complete the slope in accordance with the design.
This is our role and responsibility.
Furthermore, roles are broken down according to a person's position.
As a slope construction worker, this role comes with the responsibilities that come with being a foreman.
When those roles and responsibilities work hand in hand, a good team is formed. This leads to high-quality construction.
What are your roles and responsibilities?
The difference between people who are always thinking and those who aren't isA huge difference in just a few yearsThat'll happen, won't it?
See you later.
