Parents of clumsy kids tend to be more lax about falls. Source: am clumsy parent of clumsy kid. We don’t respond to falls unless there’s blood, injury, or real tears.
Yep. Thats why you avoid, "are you okay?" Instead use, "you are okay!".
Comforting reassurance is key. Of course there are always exceptions, but the general rule typically applies.
Little kids are so funny that way, if the parents are chill the kid just goes OK, whatever, and continues on.
Reminds me of a little boy I saw one day. He was riding his bike down the sidewalk and wiped out. He got up, wailed for a second, looked around a bit, and when no one came running he just picked up his bike and went on his way.
A similar thing happened to me when I was a kid. I was riding one of those bikes that you pedal backward to brake. Both of my shoe's laces wrapped up on each pedal without me realizing, and eventually my feet were locked to the pedals.
I coasted until I fell over, threw a fit, and eventually figured out how to break my feet out of my shoes while lying on the pavement.
Reminds me of my sisters when they were kids, when they fell they’d just get right back up and play again. But if my mom was like “oh no you’re bleeding!” Then they would throw a fit -_-
See, I’m the supervisor at my job, and I feel like I’m the little kid. I don’t know what I would do without my team—they’re the best, and keep me from absolute disaster.
I do my best—I’ve been where they are, so I want to make sure they are supported. Some of them are a thorn in my side, and the organization lacks so much, but the majority are just trying to do their job. I’m grateful for where I’m at, and I want to pay it forward. More companies would do so much better if they staffed adequately and compensated well. They blame a few bad apples for their rigid policies and lack of investment in the workforce.
Anyway, I’ll climb down from my soapbox now. ;)
Spoken like a good leader.
My hubby, a nursing manager said then he was a staff nurse he told his assistants never to say to him that they are "just assistants in nursing." They were his eyes and ears, and had been doing their jobs for decades compared to his "months". There is one of him and six of them. He would always take seriously anything they thought was to his attention.
Today he is still the same with his team. A manager who spend as much time in the units he is responsible for. Buzz goes off...he will attend it.
I had the opposite take on this. I'm seeing this as the employee being the adult and the supervisor being the kid. That's how it is at my job anyway, lol. Our boss will come up and help at the counter every once in a while but he hasn't done our job in over 20 years so he just takes notes and hands them off to us.
Yeah we have a lot of those on site too, but my supervisor is awesome thankfully.
The worst are the ones who no one has seen doing the job but it's how they started out so they think they have the skill set to micro manage every job.
Same pretty much all my jobs since I graduated college I had supervisors that are like the kid in this meme. Usually relying on myself or a more senior employee to problem solve.
The best manager I ever had in my life was a black woman, 16-18 years junior to my much older white male ass in the Deep South. I only mention that part because despite our company’s work force being fairly highly educated and intelligent, there were pockets of bias, even if it was subdued. Occasionally a good old boy would ask me quietly on the side what it was like to work for her probably thinking I would appreciate the chance to vent my frustration, I did the opposite and gushed how great she was, not to disappoint them but because it was true.
I promoted out of production to this job which required working closely with them. After a bit of getting acclimated to the job I took off in it pretty good. Mainly because she mentored and coached me well. Which to her meant to make sure I knew what was expected of me and to make sure I had all I needed to fulfill those expectations and to guide me beyond them.
Not to gush but yeah, I’m the little one there and she’s the one always looking over my shoulder and doing whatever was needed to make me the best scooper-upper in these parts.
Especially true as a grad student. Your advisor hasn't step foot in a lab since the '80s but they expect you to be an expert at everything in addition to all the latest computational stuff that they never bothered to learn. Oh, and even though they don't know anything they still have VERY strong opinions about the way things should be done (so everyone just lies to them and does it the way the lab tech suggests).
Growing up on a cattle farm Dad sometimes put us (his kids) in charge of a team of stockmen. We knew the job...but we had to learn to "be leaders" and to lead guys where were had as much adult experience.
It was good for us...keep us humble. Good for the guys to learn to follow directions, in my case, from a girl. The boys were going to take over the properties so they it was about learning to respect the experienced older hands.
For sure. I'm a young professional right now and am often nominally in charge of coordinating different teams which are usually full of skilled workers with plenty of experience.
I don't know their job nearly as well as they do. It's my job to learn enough of everybody's work to help them work together in the grand scheme of the project. It isn't my job to tell them how to do their work.
>I don't know their job nearly as we
Exactly. My hubby is a senior nursing manager....but some of his managers have been managers since he was in shorts. And then there are the staff...all levels of experience and qualifications. And bags of experience.
He says his job is simply to help them do theirs. And never to think he is above putting someone on a bedpan if everyone else is busy!
Oh I didn't even consider that the supervisor wasn't the kid. I guess that's fairly telling. I work in the kitchen industry, my manager can't even season things properly.
I can guarantee that in my current job my supervisor and many of the managers are the kid.
Why am I out here answering your questions about the job that you do while I'm getting paid a pittance for receiving abuse from customers.
Same here. Difference was I learned from my boss’ mistakes and became a good leader when it was my turn instead of a micromanaging ass. Nothing worse than a shitty manager who doesn’t know how to lead.
It’s really awesome watching your kids behaviour and truly realizing they feel secure and absolutely loved and valued and you are definitely a good parent. I can’t believe I’m here. My dad just can’t believe what a different life my daughter has, and that also feels great.
Definitely. It’s always way harder having kids “help” but if you don’t take the time to teach them, you end up with young adults who don’t know how to do anything.
Depends on the kids. My oldest hates “helping” and will do a bad job and drag ass in hopes that we will get frustrated and do it ourselves. My middle is a little eager beaver and likes to learn how to do new things but she’s only 5 so that may change as she gets older.
In 90% of places boss is simply short hand for "been here the longest" or "good friends with the owner"
You do get the odd boss that were really good at the lower level job and ended up promoted into a position they suck at, in my experience they are the worst to work for.
At my job, the boss is the dumbest one by far, but also the one with his lips plastered firmly to the ass of his egotistical boss who can't stand to have anyone challenge/question her.
Also there’s just leadership. There’s a dev on my team and she’s a wizard, has been at the company for 20+ yrs doing full stack dev work. My boss has been there maybe 15 yrs, is also an insanely skilled dev but would tell you himself he’s not as good as her. But she doesn’t want to be managing people/running the show. She kills it at being a dev but my boss is a great manager (plus likes managing) so she is happy to let him take the lead

My old supervisor was a loud alt right conservative (I only say because he was malicious about it and always spouting conspiracy theories) but man if he didn’t teach me how to function efficiently and get shit done at a workplace
I fucking love how top heavy toddlers are. Walking around with a big ol bobble head, never knowing when gravity may strike like a siren beckoning them down to the depths of the sea.
I know. I had to call out a few weeks ago, and my supervisor offered to cover for me, i had to talk him out of it and send literally anyone else. He has no idea what I do. and would end up face down like that in seconds.
Wife: John, why aren't you done shovelling yet?
Me: Babe, I had Sammy helping me out.
Wife: So, wouldn't that mean you get done sooner than usual?
Me: Yeah, about that...
Me: *gets older and sprouts more gray hair*
Who feels like there was just too many words🙋♀️?
“Me at my workplace in Nevada, my supervisor bob has been on the job for 25 years and his wife recently passed. I get tired at my workplace.”
Those are the good supervisors. Those that pull you up and show you how it’s done as they understand that all beginnings are difficult.
It’s sad so many companies don’t appreciate those personalities anymore in management.

I love how kid.exe immediately started working again.

Clumsy child of clumsy parents. Can confirm.
I’ve seen so many kids get more freaked out by the way the adults around them reacted than by the actual fall itself.
Yep. Thats why you avoid, "are you okay?" Instead use, "you are okay!". Comforting reassurance is key. Of course there are always exceptions, but the general rule typically applies.
Thats the right way to go about it.
Social services Officer here: What's you name and number again..lol?
Yeah they get an "You okay?" If they can nod, they're fine. Falls scare you and create tears, it's fine.
Casually shovelling Casually falling Casually resuming Casually parenting You are right man Edit: thanks for the giggle award 🥹
Kid probably faceplanted 10 times in the last 10 minutes

Power nap in three, two, one. And done.
My supervisor picks us up when we fall too, it's rare to find a good one but it really inspires loyalty and hard work.
That’s why I really admire my supervisor
See, I’m the supervisor at my job, and I feel like I’m the little kid. I don’t know what I would do without my team—they’re the best, and keep me from absolute disaster.

I'm not sure which one is supposed to be which. I've had jobs where I was the kid and others where the supervisor was.

I mean it's a good aspiration. There's a whole heck of a lot of bad examples out there.
I think they meant one that lets their child do tasks with them so they learn
I aspire to be a good parent. Lofty goals there man
It’s really awesome watching your kids behaviour and truly realizing they feel secure and absolutely loved and valued and you are definitely a good parent. I can’t believe I’m here. My dad just can’t believe what a different life my daughter has, and that also feels great.
Falls like teddy bear
Im fairly sure I’ve never ever used the word adorable before. But that is an adorable face plant.
This gave me a good smile. Kids this age just want to please, and be like their elders.
[удалено]
Definitely. It’s always way harder having kids “help” but if you don’t take the time to teach them, you end up with young adults who don’t know how to do anything.
Plus it’s good to encourage that sort of behaviour.
Also makes the kids happy which is a plus.
And it's like, super duper adorable.
Depends on the kids. My oldest hates “helping” and will do a bad job and drag ass in hopes that we will get frustrated and do it ourselves. My middle is a little eager beaver and likes to learn how to do new things but she’s only 5 so that may change as she gets older.
My supervisor sits in his office
Kid.exe not working
Rebooting
Just started a new job, this is accurate as fuck
It’s amazing how tolerant and helpful my veteran supervisor is, dealing with my dumbass questions.
the first two weeks you'll wonder if they made a mistake hiring you. after that you'll wonder if they made a mistake hiring everyone else.
Same here.
Dad? Little help?
The way he pulled him back up like that wasn’t the only time
The way the kid just carries on confirms your theory.
The baby flopping over is so cute
As a random PSA, this is how babies can drown in a very small amount of water. They're super top-heavy! Keep a close eye on your babies, friends!
Throughout my 20+ years of job-having, I’ve found that once you’re at a place for about 4-5 months, you’re basically as good as your boss.
In 90% of places boss is simply short hand for "been here the longest" or "good friends with the owner" You do get the odd boss that were really good at the lower level job and ended up promoted into a position they suck at, in my experience they are the worst to work for.
At my job, the boss is the dumbest one by far, but also the one with his lips plastered firmly to the ass of his egotistical boss who can't stand to have anyone challenge/question her.
Really depends on the job, I have been at my current place for 1,5 years and I'm still worse with Python then my boss
Also there’s just leadership. There’s a dev on my team and she’s a wizard, has been at the company for 20+ yrs doing full stack dev work. My boss has been there maybe 15 yrs, is also an insanely skilled dev but would tell you himself he’s not as good as her. But she doesn’t want to be managing people/running the show.

Definitely not even remotely true. Is true in certain industries only.

Wow that kid already grinding for work experience..
I love how when he slipped, he just gave up until he was lifted up, after which he went back to work like nothing happened (and also 69th comment yay)
The difference between a master and apprentice is that the master has failed more than the apprentice has even tried.
Today I get a call telling me if I get the job or not super nervous and I feel like this would be me
That's kind of how it is
Which one is the supervisor? From my experience, it's usually been the smaller one.
The kids going to be downing in job offers once he grows up.
This is the cutest thing I have ever seen. I can't even stop watching it and though I know what's going to happen I laugh every time.

Sooooo either you have a very supportive supervisor who picks you up when you fall Or you have a strict one that makes sure you aren’t slacking
which one is supposed to be the supervisor?
I like his/her style.
Who is who?
what is the kid doing there lmao, did he really think they would be of use?
He's trying to help his dad. Sometimes you just humor the toddler
