Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
It's starting to get a little colder, isn't it?
It's about time to start wearing layers, isn't it? ^^
Why not try buying some slightly more expensive underwear this year?
I think the price is directly proportional to the quality of the underwear, lol.
But that's beside the point.
Things a Site Supervisor Must Never Do
Based on my experiences so far, a coach like this just won't work.
This isn't limited to slope contractors, but a supervisor who does something like this is unfit for the job.
1. They didn't come first thing in the morning.
There are also unavoidable circumstances.
I never say "always" or "definitely."
Sometimes I oversleep, and other times I’m exhausted from a drinking party the night before.
However, Director Dekiru is on set almost every day, starting first thing in the morning.
And even if there’s a delay for some reason, we’ve already contacted the craftsmen the day before or on the day itself, so there won’t be any issues with the schedule.
As long as there is clear communication between the craftsmen and the supervisor, we can provide as much support as needed.
2. Have a skilled craftsman do your work.
It's fine if it's just temporary. Sometimes the supervisor has to leave to help out at other job sites.
However, insisting that craftsmen do that all the time is the same as not working at all.
If that person is really busy, it's possible to help out.
That’s if they’re busy. But directors like that are almost always free from the get-go.
3. Delaying on-site preparations for personal reasons.
Work on-site is carried out under a construction contract between the general contractor and the subcontractor.
Since this is not technically a contract with the director, you are not allowed to delay it for personal reasons.
However, as long as you make it clear in advance that you absolutely cannot be available on [Month] [Day]—even if you just discuss the details—there won’t be any problems.
You can adjust it that way.
It's difficult to be prepared for something that happens suddenly.
4. Make them take their trash home.
We generally send waste generated at the job site to an industrial waste disposal company and obtain a manifest.
ThatCredas→ You are required to use Kobris to file reports in accordance with the Construction Recycling Act.
There are supervisors who, by claiming that something is missing, make subcontractors take it back with them.
A small amount is one thing, but a quantity that makes you go, “What?!” is a problem.
By the way,Credas was discontinued on March 31, Heisei 30....is being done.

5. When my boss is around, I work with a bit more enthusiasm.
That really hurts, doesn't it? (lol)
The craftsmen are giving you the cold shoulder, aren't they?
6. Not saying anything at the time, but complaining about it later.
This is a bit of a problem, isn't it?
Is this what they call "rock-paper-scissors after the fact"? There's just nothing I can do about it now.
That's proof that process management and specification reviews weren't carried out properly.
7. The way they talk to the craftsmen is super condescending.
You know the type, right?
He's always acting all high and mighty. Does he think he's some kind of big shot, or what?
I'm not really comfortable around people like that myself.
8. They try to get you to do work you didn't agree to do for free, acting as if it's "something you'd normally do anyway."
This won't work. As long as we're part of a company, having people move around costs money.
It's just common sense.
That said, craftsmen are human, too. If that director asks, I’d love to do it for him!
There are some directors who are so good you’d say, “I’d even work for free!”
If you’re the kind of director who makes us say, “We’d do our best for that person,” or “If it were that person,” then we’ll give it our all!
And it’s always the kind of director who tries to get me to work for free who says, “It’ll cost you a lot if you hire me, you know?”
9. He tells the company that he does everything himself.
A director like that is truly the worst. I guess as long as he’s happy, that’s all that matters to him.
However, this can lead to disputes later on, such as when the terms turn out to be different from what was originally agreed upon.
That said, that company isn't stupid, so I'm sure they get it, right? lol
10. I always head home early on weekends.
It could also mean they aren't there during the day. What is a sense of responsibility, anyway?
11. Poor on-site management skills.
At this point, there's nothing I can do. Maybe it'd be better if they weren't here anymore (lol).
Isn't this exactly the kind of situation where you should leave it to the outsourcing pros?
12. His "Look how awesome I am!" act is really over the top.
I don't understand what's so great about it.
Probably no one really understands you.
There are more than enough amazing people out there, and everyone knows you're not one of them.
13. I don't have any management tools.
What are you going to do with the management tools you borrowed from the subcontractor?
What are you going to do if that subcontractor goes out of business?
Am I going to rent it again??
Be sure to bring the bare minimum of maintenance tools.
There are all kinds of directors.
After all, we're all human, so the workplace runs smoothly because we make up for each other's shortcomings.
Of course, craftsmen have their good points and their bad points.
Craftsmen want to work well with the supervisor, too.
If I'm going to do it anyway,I want to do work that I enjoyIsn't that right!
However, the truth is that even if one or two of the above apply, it’s not a problem.
It just means that if we support each other and help one another, there won't be any problems.
Let's all work together to make this a great workplace!
See you later.
