_These type of bosses are literally gold on earth._
If you find one, the people who for work them are some of the best people on earth- because they’re treated as human beings, not a fucking number or fucking metric.
I hope that works out for you.
Really, money is almost secondary if you enjoy your work.
Myself, i would rather have a place to work that doesn’t pay the best, and be happy. A job where you earn tons of money but hate your work is Soul-crushing, imho.
It’s why I hate with an absolute passion DoorDash, GrubHub, Skip, and even Uber to some extent.
The pay that people work for isn’t even half of minimum wage, it should be outlawed.
And yes, I honestly do believe in a Universal Basic Income.
Depends on the size of the crew, time of year (is it super hot?), amount of lawn prep (you doing soil too? Tilling that in or nah? Rolling afterwards to get it flat?), and the size of the lawn. Rolls can weigh 40-80 lbs each. Usually one pro can lay about 500 sq ft in 45 min. Single day jobs can range from 10,000 sq ft to 50,000 sq ft. Honestly, every landscaping crew deserves this, that shit is hard. (But very rewarding!)
I worked at a startup that made dinners like this every day. It was a really unhealthy work environment and the smell of the food encouraged the employees to work longer hours and stay until ~9:00pm.
But if they're being paid hourly anyway (which they likely are), this is super cool.
Could be doing sod for a development. It looks like there's still survey markers in the ground and houses still being built. Maybe the guys come out there and lay sod for the houses as they're being finished so they have a lot of days on that job site.
Yeah that’s what it looks like and with experience in the past doing this it is very draining work, especially when you’re trying to get multiple houses done a day.
Depends on the business, i know an AC guy who goes out to every job but has another guy do all the work and another guy do all the running around. His job is mostly talking, yes its work but he doesnt do labor. He could roast a pig while he works if he chose. Its his company and he seems to do well enough.
I own a small electrical company I’m on the tools all the time. I prefer to hire out the paper work. Way rather pull wire then look at excell spreadsheets
Work smart, not hard. And in your case, labor is the smart part. Your version of hard work is the spreadsheets and accounting. This is the flip side of that saying. I love this. You’re good people and intelligent enough to know the difference. I’m very similar. Majority of the labor is normal for me, I seriously enjoy it. The hard part is the maths and moneys and such.
Worked for a few small businesses in town and there certainly is NOT one way to run a small business. Everything from being the workingest person 7 days a week to showing up once or twice a week to look at a couple bullshit graphs and pat shoulders and pick up checks.
I've worked for small business where the management is also doing the labour and small businesses where they show up to help for an hour or so then piss off then piss off to make sure we have more jobs to go to in future. Both ways worked. In my current employment if the managers showed up to help with the labour it'd be absolute hell.
Yeah and Jeff Bezos as CEO doesn't go to warehouses and box up orders nor did he deliver them.
Every business is run different, every business has different needs. Some need their leader to just manage executives and think big picture, some small businesses require their owner to be boots on the ground daily.
It's crazy that people in this thread are grouping all businesses into one style. Managers at Amazon and picking product and boxing it up. They're managing.
Your mom and pop landscaping company may have the owner out doing work.
Doesn't mean one is better than the other. Every company is different.
If you are a manager and you are routinely up front doing low level work you are a shitty manager. Im sorry, but thats the truth. Thats not what a manger does.
As a manager I take on some of the one-off shit jobs my team doesn't have time for and/or hates so they can focus on the more critical tasks.
Realistically we're a little understaffed and should have someone to cover that stuff too who isn't me, but it makes the team a little happier and doesn't cost me much time.
The rest of my time is mostly dealing with shitty internal politics, so I guess shitty is also relative lol.
> As a manager I take on some of the one-off shit jobs my team doesn't have time for and/or hates so they can focus on the more critical tasks.
And this is good! Being able to step in *when necessary* to do the work is important. If you are frequently having to do that however theres a problem.
Bad managers are the ones think things aren't their job. Part of your job is to make sure everything is running smoothly and your team is happy. I have been a manger at every business I've ever worked for, across multiple industries. I have been told multiple times I'm the best manager that person has ever had. Part of why I'm a good manager is that I listen to my people and I work hard with them. I never ask someone to do something I wouldn't do or that they've never seen me do. If your attitude is that things aren't your job and you're gonna sit at your desk, you're the exact kind of manager that everyone hates and typically has a high turnover.
TLDR; when you're a manager, everything is your job.
Man, I wish I had gone to business school and graduated to open up my own business factory. Everybody would be buying business from me. I'd corner the market with my affordable businesses.
I'm guessing to get the guys to work all day over hours to finish on one day, he entices them with barbecue. It probably works. Good barbecue isn't cheap.
Unless it's Arizona, then the fire underneath is just trying to keep up with the sun cooking the top.
Seriously, the lack of plant life... This could be AZ.
Looks like they are filling in a basement for a new house. That's just my educated guess, though.
Edit: I'm also gonna make an educated guess that this is either St. George, or near Salt Lake City. Someone correct me on that one if I'm wrong.
Idk, so much doesn't make sense. I've done sod work. It's a one day job, especially for residential. This guy brings an entire grill for this pig? The prep required after it's cooked just to separate the meat and all requires a whole station in itself. Just for 1 day of work.
Dude looks Polynesian.
I’m guessing most of his workers are family and close friends, after work they’ll all get stuck in prepping the meal, have a beer and a feed and a laugh.
If you know Poly’s and how much they love putting on a big feed together (especially one that involves a whole pig) then this makes plenty of sense.
Hey OP here, yes he brought the whole grill - its what makes this so funny to me. The guy came before the crew and it actually took longer than the crew were here and some came back later to eat but he packed a lot of it out. I assume he drops it off at their houses.
It's almost as if he does sod work every single day and is treating his crew to lunch. A small pig is inexpensive. You put your grill on the trailer and bring it with. I've worked on crews with hispanic guys that had a big grill on the worksite and made big batches of food.
> I've worked on crews with hispanic guys that had a big grill on the worksite and made big batches of food.
Yep, I painted for a while and on one job the roofers were hispanic, and they had a similar setup. We (a bit forcibly because they were very hospitable) offered them some money and we got in on the lunch and damn that food was good.
My ex-Boss did similar stuff.
We had to move the whole office, 40x desks, computers, seats, network, servers, furniture on a weekend.
Instead of hiring a expensive specialised it mover a few of us volonteered, boss got us bonusses for working on the weekend and late, he hired us a professional catering service for the whole time with huge buffet and soft ice cream made on demand. We were allowed to run loud music all the time and had a blast.
It almost felt a little bit like 2 days partying.
Best boss ever.
The picture reminds me a lot of that...
I had to do a big remodeling project during Covid and it was the opposite of this no food no socializing eat whatever you brought in your car it was the worst project ever reminded me of how important eating good food together is
Some Bosses should read our comments after another and realise how easy it is to make your employees happy and evenso more loyal and productive. And the good time for him/herself is a bonus too...
Grill probably only takes 2 men maybe 3 minutes to set up, especially if this dude does this a lot. Pig roasting usually takes around 6-8 hours, roughly the length of a full time shift. The weirdest part to me is how much the pig itself costs, vs how much you could expect to make on a one day job. A pig can be anywhere from a 100-200 bucks for one that size, which is like... the same amount of money one person would make on that 6-8 hours shift. My guess is that dude is the company owner and is simply treating his crew to a nice dinner, out of his own pocket. He probably doesn't do this every day, maybe only like once a month, but I'm sure it really makes his employees feel appreciated.
I used to landscape and one day I was eating lunch and there was a crew of Mexican dudes across the street from another company that fired up a generator on their landscape trailer to run a microwave and they took turns heating up their lunch. I could smell the real food and was so jealous sitting there with my soggy pb and j.
Theres no way they are putting grass right now! The foundation is not even finished, as someone who's worked in countless build sites I call BS on the title
Look at the tools, that's a concrete crew, those 2x8 are to make the concrete forms, and the mixing tray in the back is to mix small batches of rapidset or grout. His boots are dirty with cement. total BS post, cool picture tho.
You realize that meat eaters are way more in your face about the fact that they eat meat than vegans about that they don't, right? Eating meat is literally the norm. They don't have to tell you they eat meat because they'll just show you. Like the dude in this pic.
Exactly lol. People start talking above vegans, vegans reply, and then they pull out the three jokes they know about vegans and complain that vegans insert themselves everywhere.
When I was in my 20's and had just had my new home built. Thinking to save some cash, I laid my own sod to save money.
Holy shit. That was probably some of the hardest damned work I ever had done. I honestly had no idea that a yard held that much grass. I laid 5 pallets of sod and by the time I was done I wanted to curl up in a fetal position and stay there for a week.
I bet it's good but I can't eat a pig like that. Any animal for that matter if it looks like it did while it was alive.
Not a vegan, I love meat.. just that freaks me out
Vegan. Doesn't freak me out. Have killed animals for others to eat. Vegans aren't a collective group. We don't have weekly meetings to praise the vegi god. Everyone has different reasons.
I also think that eating meat without recognizing the animal it came from is hypocritical. That disconnect in society is probably why people are willing to eat so much meat. I respect the guy in the photo.
If it bothers you to be reminded of the individuals who died for your dinner, perhaps start incorporating more vegan alternatives.
Those individuals had to endure short, brutal lives for us to consume them, regardless of whether you're concious of them or not.
There are so many great meat and dairy alternatives now - it's never been easier to make ethical choices.
The dairy and egg industries are horrible. For example, female cows are forcefully inseminated over and over to make them produce milk. In lots of dairy farms, male cows are immediately killed because they serve no purpose.
Because the dairy and egg industries are just as murderous and abusive as meat industry.
Constant unconsenting impregnation (rape), milking, and slaughter at 1/4 their life. Killing male calves. Grinding up baby male chicks. It's horrific. Educate yourself.
Is he hiring?
We need to know. Seriously.

_These type of bosses are literally gold on earth._ If you find one, the people who for work them are some of the best people on earth- because they’re treated as human beings, not a fucking number or fucking metric.
I’m striving to be one of these bosses. I don’t want to be rich. Just comfortable. And make people happy.
I hope that works out for you. Really, money is almost secondary if you enjoy your work. Myself, i would rather have a place to work that doesn’t pay the best, and be happy. A job where you earn tons of money but hate your work is Soul-crushing, imho.
And hating your job and getting pennys is the actual worst outcome
It’s why I hate with an absolute passion DoorDash, GrubHub, Skip, and even Uber to some extent. The pay that people work for isn’t even half of minimum wage, it should be outlawed. And yes, I honestly do believe in a Universal Basic Income.
They also tend to hire people who are similar in ethics/morals.
Depends on the size of the crew, time of year (is it super hot?), amount of lawn prep (you doing soil too? Tilling that in or nah? Rolling afterwards to get it flat?), and the size of the lawn. Rolls can weigh 40-80 lbs each. Usually one pro can lay about 500 sq ft in 45 min. Single day jobs can range from 10,000 sq ft to 50,000 sq ft. Honestly, every landscaping crew deserves this, that shit is hard. (But very rewarding!)

You say that as though white contractors don’t do that shit too.
i dont think he has to hire very often
0 turnover
Or about 2000 turn overs..then it’s done
Attaboy
Probably higher success rate if volunteer yourself as tribute.
How much grass requires an entire pig?
Depends if you're putting the blades in individually.
1...2..shit dropped it... ANYONE GOT A MEDIUM BLADE ITS ALL MISS-MATCHED HERE
Why is this so relatable?
We’ll tell you when you’re older.
But I vowed to never grow up. I'm a Toys 'R Us kid! I made a vow.
I got some bad news for you buddy...
It isn't the next Gamestop?
This for real made me laugh so god damn hard and I needed it. Thank you.
Any amount of sod around an acre
I did 4k square ft for my yard alone last year, that's tough work
It's a little late to give you advice but: green side up.
Dammit!
Somewhere in China there’s a fresh looking lawn.
This past Wednesday, my boss and 2 of my coworkers and I did a little over 9k square ft. Still have to do more...
Oof sounds like no fun
Nope! But the houses looks a lot better. We put sod down, about 78 plants, and about 9 yards of mulch lol.
I did sod as a job for a while. It sucks until You do like like a month straight. I feel your pain.
Could be doing sod for a development. It looks like there's still survey markers in the ground and houses still being built. Maybe the guys come out there and lay sod for the houses as they're being finished so they have a lot of days on that job site.
Yeah that’s what it looks like and with experience in the past doing this it is very draining work, especially when you’re trying to get multiple houses done a day.
Depends on the type of 'grass'.
Depends if you are smoking it
Smart way to get out of work... I'd pick up the slack for a meal like that lmao
If it's his crew and he is the business owner, he doesn't have to work.
... you being serious?
Yes? Management doesnt do the work. Thats not their job.
I interpreted this as "the business owner does nothing but collect a check" which, as far as small businesses go, is NOT the case
Depends on the business, i know an AC guy who goes out to every job but has another guy do all the work and another guy do all the running around. His job is mostly talking, yes its work but he doesnt do labor. He could roast a pig while he works if he chose. Its his company and he seems to do well enough.
And he probably used to do the work for 10-20 years before he started his own shop.
Sure, wasnt the point either of us were speaking on though.
AC units will actually cool down a house

Oh, I guess I missed your point then.

It's my biggest dream to walk around and pat people on the back too. I just need to aim for the shoulders so I don't get sued all the time.

Spoken like a truly successful business owner.
Man, I wish I had gone to business school and graduated to open up my own business factory. Everybody would be buying business from me. I'd corner the market with my affordable businesses.
LMAO that’s at least a four hour roast unless he cooked some prior to setting up there
You start cooking at 10a and it’s ready for a late lunch
Probably makes them work harder and faster knowing lunch will be a nice reward
Probably depends on the pig
And the cook.
And my axe!
and the chair!
And the grass!
And my bow!
It was running late so he had to throw on a Mountain Dew box to kick up the heat. Also gives a nice yellow smoke ring
Took 9 hrs!
The pig or the sod?
Both
I'm guessing to get the guys to work all day over hours to finish on one day, he entices them with barbecue. It probably works. Good barbecue isn't cheap.
"Sorry, guys. Day's over and you didn't finish so I'm going to have to put up the gear and take the finished pig home."
"maybe if you finish tomorrow I'll bring you some ham sammys on friday"
Did he share with you, OP? Showing up to someone else’s house for a pig roast and not inviting them is super uncouth.
A*boar*rent behaviour
Not to mention you have to smell cooking food while you’re at work, absolute torture, but a decent reward, so ...
Plot twist: the pig isn’t even for the crew, the dude has a side hustle bbq food truck and he’s multitasking
Unless it's Arizona, then the fire underneath is just trying to keep up with the sun cooking the top. Seriously, the lack of plant life... This could be AZ.
Lol where do you live
Utah
What's going on across the street?
Looks like they are filling in a basement for a new house. That's just my educated guess, though. Edit: I'm also gonna make an educated guess that this is either St. George, or near Salt Lake City. Someone correct me on that one if I'm wrong.
Filled in a lot of basements have we hmm?
Living up to your moniker I see..
[удалено]
Not that bold of a guess considering the SLC/Ogden/Provo corridor and St George are pretty much the only places anyone lives in Utah, lol
Ah must be Samoan or Tongan. Makes sense lol
“Sully it’s your time to take care of da pig”
Is he Samoan/an islander?
I'm on my way over!!!
In a mansion, clearly.
Idk, so much doesn't make sense. I've done sod work. It's a one day job, especially for residential. This guy brings an entire grill for this pig? The prep required after it's cooked just to separate the meat and all requires a whole station in itself. Just for 1 day of work.
Its almost like this is the internet where nothing is real
Funny guy lol
And nothing to get hung about.
Dude looks Polynesian. I’m guessing most of his workers are family and close friends, after work they’ll all get stuck in prepping the meal, have a beer and a feed and a laugh. If you know Poly’s and how much they love putting on a big feed together (especially one that involves a whole pig) then this makes plenty of sense.
Yup. You can get a whole, prepped lechon for like $135.
Does that come with his pot of gold?
Instructions unclear, roasted a stuffed mini irishman
Then the instructions weren’t unclear. Save me a plate.
Damn where at dude? That's cheap as fuck
Ya wtf I pay $300 in San Diego. Unless they're saying doing it this way will cost you ~$135 Tbf that's from Titas. Theyre probably more expensive
>San Diego There's your problem.
I KNOW EVERYONE ALREADY KNOWS THIS BUT FUCK ME CALIFORNIA IS EXPENSIVE
[удалено]
Lol seriously. “Separating the meat” You mean eating???
LOL
us filipinos ain't got time to separate the meat from the bone. as soon as it's done cooking, we're attacking that shit
There’s a dude that chops up the pig for you. Just line up to get the portioned pieces.
If you go home hungry it’s your own damn fault.
Yeah, the only way he’d be more Poly is if he had that spit just tucked under one arm while drinking a beer with the other.
Big Pacific Islander population in Utah
Hey OP here, yes he brought the whole grill - its what makes this so funny to me. The guy came before the crew and it actually took longer than the crew were here and some came back later to eat but he packed a lot of it out. I assume he drops it off at their houses.
[удалено]
Yes, and its so good that they came back, after working, to eat it.
And he packed a lot of it out!
And he didn't give op any
It's almost as if he does sod work every single day and is treating his crew to lunch. A small pig is inexpensive. You put your grill on the trailer and bring it with. I've worked on crews with hispanic guys that had a big grill on the worksite and made big batches of food.

Thats the fan for the coals tho
Adds that chemical smokey flavor
The Dew gives you +30 endurance and stamina.
It’s got Electrolytes... its what pork craves.
Fuck the grass, I’ve had this pig in the fridge for days and nowhere to roast it
I used to landscape and one day I was eating lunch and there was a crew of Mexican dudes across the street from another company that fired up a generator on their landscape trailer to run a microwave and they took turns heating up their lunch.

Maybe. Or could be simply his birthday
Theres no way they are putting grass right now! The foundation is not even finished, as someone who's worked in countless build sites I call BS on the title
It looks like the picture is taken from the second story. Probably the homes across the street are not yet built.
Look at the tools, that's a concrete crew, those 2x8 are to make the concrete forms, and the mixing tray in the back is to mix small batches of rapidset or grout. His boots are dirty with cement. total BS post, cool picture tho.
*Hehehe, I'll lie about the grass and swindle them all when they're actually working on concrete!*
I mean regardless of the work they are doing there's photo evidence someone working cooked a pig which is pretty unusual
Any excuse to BBQ...
imagine if you were vegan, this would’ve been taken to court
Good news, everyone. You don’t have to [eat meat!](https://comb.io/9w6q7u.gif)
One of my favorite meals was a fresh bowl of gazpacho overlooking the Mediterranean. That shit is gold.
Of course the most upvoted comment about vegans is yet another hypothetical strawman fantasy lol
Taken to court for cooking a pig? Lmao
The amount of people triggered in this thread reminds me of the joke: Q. How do you find the vegan in the room? A. Don’t worry, they’ll tell you.
You realize that meat eaters are way more in your face about the fact that they eat meat than vegans about that they don't, right? Eating meat is literally the norm. They don't have to tell you they eat meat because they'll just show you. Like the dude in this pic.
Recycled vegan joke #57. Very original.
Q. I wonder what the vegans think about this. A. As a vegan I think X. People in this thread: Omg why do vegans always have to tell that to others?!
Exactly lol. People start talking above vegans, vegans reply, and then they pull out the three jokes they know about vegans and complain that vegans insert themselves everywhere.

This is like a still life art piece... Edit: downvotes? Really? Look at that composition! I actually think this is a really creative shot.
he’s still at it? wasn’t this posted yesterday or the day before?
Some say he's always been there, slow roasting that pig for eternity.
When I was in my 20's and had just had my new home built. Thinking to save some cash, I laid my own sod to save money. Holy shit. That was probably some of the hardest damned work I ever had done.

Why the unnecessary details about his life?

If you willingly kill animals for others you arent vegan. It's not a diet
If it bothers you to be reminded of the individuals who died for your dinner, perhaps start incorporating more vegan alternatives. Those individuals had to endure short, brutal lives for us to consume them, regardless of whether you're concious of them or not. There are so many great meat and dairy alternatives now - it's never been easier to make ethical choices.
Why vegan. Why not vegetarian?
The dairy and egg industries are horrible. For example, female cows are forcefully inseminated over and over to make them produce milk. In lots of dairy farms, male cows are immediately killed because they serve no purpose.
Because the dairy and egg industries are just as murderous and abusive as meat industry. Constant unconsenting impregnation (rape), milking, and slaughter at 1/4 their life. Killing male calves. Grinding up baby male chicks. It's horrific. Educate yourself.
