I have a younger coworker who won't make a decision without consulting half the group, and I I really think he should be past the point of pooping his pants whenever he is asked to actually do something. It's stressing me out because I'm pretty well loaded up with work and problems of my own, because personally I'm dealing with the most technically savvy client I've ever had in my career. We haven't worked with them before, and management thought it was a good idea to do EPC projects before doing any engineering with them, which is terribly stressful because usually it takes a couple of years working with a new client before you really understand their processes, and now in our endless search for higher profits, we are learning how to work with this difficult new client while dealing with much more increased risk for losing money due to any potential issues arising from engineering.
SO...because I have been unable to get any decent help from my boss, and wringing this FNG who shouldn't be a FNG's neck isn't a viable option, I have printed a picture of Shia Labeouf that says "What Would Shia Do", and whenever he has a question I don't want to deal at that time, I ask him what Shia would do. Because SHIA WOULD JUST DO IT.
I don't ******* care if he gets it wrong. It's much easier to check stuff than to do it, and I can find somebody to check it or check it myself. I just want him to do something on his own.
So I got a Shia Lebeouf bumper sticker cause I thought it was funny. Thx for letting me rant.
