Fair play sid , couldn’t have said it any better mate , your business your channel you say and upload what ever you like mate … been following year journey for about a year now never commented but that deserved one … fair play mate keep up all the good work!👍🏻

@@PartridgeExteriorCleaning Funny i had gotten my first job at 25 long story short family lived rather terrible because we always had been evicted from every house we lived in for 3 decades! I had gotten my first everything at 25 my apartment ,interview, job and responsibilities i'm 32 now pushing to 33 i'm tired of shit not getting done. my younger peers are starting to see this and i'm very proud of at least 1 of them who had the balls to say it to the rest of them who're dead weight because i have an attitude when people are just lazy and don't do shit because they live with family / friends or others its not reality. My mom died a year and a half ago dad doesn't care about us, grandfather died this year and all my grandmas died so NO parents. I'm on my own taking care of myself with family i have staying with me and i get comments on the phone saying " we're proud of you" because my words are that my family is my driving force and i'll take care of them which i wont stop doing it they're everything to me.

Good boss, good worker, good person!

[@colinfox2516]

You were 100% correct. I used to train staff and unless you point out their short commings and mistakes they will keep repeating them. Then later on when you point it out they could turn around and say " well you never told me so I kept doing it" You learn from your mistakes so don't repeat them and improve. It will do him good and make him more responsible and grow up.

[@dianafromaustralia3244]

@colinfox2516 It’s “short comings”! Just saying!🙀

[@mishkawp8200]

Great video. Well said. A boss is there to manage and to train, not to be a friend. You did exactly the right thing and it will help your lad learn and improve. Excellent result in the driveway - looks like new. I’m one if those who has been following your channel for a long time and it’s been really interesting to see how much you have developed as well as your business. You’re such a hard worker and you deserve success.

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

thank you mishka, always appreciate you being here

[@AR-21]

That’s the difference between a boss and a leader. Don’t expect your employees to follow you if you act like a boss.

[@heathermichaelson6957]

Love not just your reasoning behind the planning for the future but the way you see yourself in the kid. You’re a great mentor for just recognizing this. Also fantastic about wanting to help move Kev to something less physical. Looking out for your employees will always make you successful.

[@celticphoenix2579]

Sid I recently purchased a house and the drive was a jungle. Your pressure washing videos made me confident in picking up a karcher starter unit for myself. I cleaned my drive myself (72° slope felt like) and then realised it needs weed treatment. Tried roundup but that stuff is rubbish. Then decided to just salt it. Your re-sanding gave me the technique to get the sand evenly spread with minimal wastage. It has been three months and the section I salted is still plant free. Now I just need to crack on and salt the rest...when my health allows.

[@PartridgeExteriorCleaning]

Phew, steep drives are no fun at all, nice for drainage but back breaking work bending over on it all day, well done!

[@jenwhite5387]

[@LynnNicholls-j6p]

Pleased to see the young lad has improved greatly and is showing maturity with his work. Well done!

[@johncamp2567]

SID: One of the remarkable things about your videos is how you make your dedicated viewers feel like “mates”. Whether it’s sharing your thoughts, your customers’ reactions, your children on vacation, or whatever the topic, you have made a lot of “friends” around the globe, and we enjoy watching your successes!! 👍(…and I enjoy looking out the window as you drive!)

[@stephaniewaters4931]

It doesn’t surprise me that you used to care for people & that you were raised by caregivers. You have that spirit about you. You are definitely a special person.

[@catzrule5973]

I love the sanding! It's like "now the job is properly finished".

[@eleniemmanouilidou24]

Very well said Sid! In my job, when I first started working, my supervisor did correct me again and again and some times, he was pretty harsh on me. Now, I'm the supervisor and I completely understand why he did it. I'm sure that Elias will be thankful in the end, and he'll be successful. And truth to be told, it's your business, your rules! Much love from Greece!

[@peem1244]

You're the boss, Sid. It's your job to criticise as well as motivate your staff, and it's up to you how you do that. Elias was smart enough to approach you for criticism because he was aware he was having a bad day. I'd be happy for staff to do that, I wish more were like that. I don't doubt Elias sees you as a role model for developing his future, he ain't daft. Keep up the awesome work.

[@pamk2061]

I never thought your video was mean. I have worked with people who didn't want to pull their weight. It gets frustrating. I know Elias is young, but he needs to understand and learn. He is no longer in school where kids are babied. This is the real world. You are a great boss.

Your honesty is refreshing Sid, especially in these "Scared to say anything times" as other folks have said your company your rules, you are not being too harsh. The old saying we do learn from our mistakes especially if they are pointed out. Learning on the job from a great mentor like you is invaluable. Great jobs again.

[@MissMac88]

I really don’t understand why other people have gotten mad about that video. The kid is 17 years old. He’s working an adult job earning career money with a boss that has high expectations. Sid you were totally within your rights, as you well know, to call him out on his laziness at the time to help promote a harder work ethic. I’ve been a subscriber on this channel for a long time, and I don’t always feel the need to comment, but your business has grown so much I’m really proud of the work that you have put into it. I think people forget you live in the real world and have a family to support. You’re doing a fantastic job.

You're absolutely right Sid, if you don't say anything early, it will carry on. Keyboard warriors, what can you do. You're helping Elias out by telling him when he does wrong, and praising him when he does right. And as you rightly said, your channel, your business, your right to expect a specific level of effort.

[@DandyLion2024]

Good on you for not bending the knee. This is YOUR channel and YOUR business and if people don't like it, they can always skip what they don't like. Never bend the knee otherwise it takes away from you and what you chose to put out. People need to stop trying to treat other people's pages and channels as if it's their own....they'll be the first to jump up and down irate if someone else tried to tell them what they should be doing with their channel and pages. It's called respect...something sadly many people sorely lack. Keep up the good work! You've got my respect for sticking to your guns!

Sid, my mother used to say that's why we have 2 ears, in one and out the other 😅. Don't let the complaints get to you. It's much harder when you are self employed, you don't have the safety net of a company to absorb underperforming employees. Keep up the great videos! 😊

[@ann-mariehayes9574]

you have a good work ethic Sid and you are willing to pass it on. Forget about the whiners and complainers, if they were working for someone and their fellow workers were slacking off they would be the first ones jumping up and down and complaining about the person not doing the job. Also if they start off being taught the right work ethic it will follow them through the life of work and make them more employable. You do a good job and I am glad that you are thinking about Kev's future in your business and not just saying he's too old to work. Great job on the house and caring about the wildlife.

[@donnagiblin4912]

Great video as always. I like how you keep things real. I hope that young man realizes how lucky he is to be learning a trade from someone who really cares about giving the customer 100% on every job. Your excellent work ethic has brought you well deserved success! Can't wait for the next video.

[@cheryleking6543]

Hi Sid, The roof has a nice colour to it now. I wasnt sure at the start what colour it would be. You put in your best at what you do so its only natural that you will pass on what you know to everyone you and kev train.. You all must have muscles on muscles cause the poles dont look light once you put the bits and pieces on..wow. Stay Safe from a Tasmanian Fan ❤🙏👍🤗

[@jimnelson9775]

Good morning! I appreciate you explaining your business and your thinking regarding the new lad. I do understand what people said, thinking maybe you “should” have kept your feedback to him (Elias) private, but as you pointed out in this video, you’re running your business and your KZbin channel in real life. Anyway, I’m not sure I expressed my thoughts well, just wanted to show support.

[@Terrae-Veteran]

I prefer you keep it real. I'm not sure how long I've been watching your channel, but it's been for quite awhile now. I'd rather have you be authentic than fake. I don't comment much on YT stuff but felt a need to this time. Thanks for the great content. 😊

[@pamb440]

This is why I’ve been a long time sub to this channel and I keep coming back. Sid, what you said at the beginning of this clip is 100% true. You’re a stand up guy and you keep it real and authentic and you really don’t see enough of that on KZbin. You’re very mindful of the your job and experienced at what you do. I’m 56 years old and I couldn’t imagine doing what you do at 60 years old. I completely understand how it’s not realistic to do what you do at 60 and beyond. And looking out for your future father-in-law (Kev) is just the right thing to do. The new guy on your team is learning some valuable life lessons if he just keeps following your example. You’re setting this kid up for success and it’s seems as though he realizes that and appreciates it. How else is he going to learn? The job you guys do can be dangerous and if not done properly, someone could get hurt so it’s good to see that he’s listening to you when you tell him he needs to pick up the slack and be safe about it. Another great job and your customers really appreciate that your a fair guy and you do great work. It’s evident from the convo you had with this customer. Keep up the great work Sid, it’s really paying off with your customers and your team!

[@denises9426]
