Pipeline Welder Gossip-Don’t Be That Guy

[@robtheisen5844]

My best friend just went through this. His boss had turned all of his employees against each other. 10 man team at each other’s throats... instead of watching each other’s backs. Mind games, threatening them with their jobs constantly, even laughing at their concerns... Everyone started dreading going into work, everyone was miserable while at work, and the focus was getting off of work, rather than being productive and maintaining quality. Needless to say after several months of this my buddy and 4 of his teammates went to the guy over their boss. They all said either he get rid of their boss or they’re all quitting effective immediately. With-in 48 hours their boss was gone. Their new boss is more goal oriented, laid-back, and encouraging. With-in a week the entire team did a 180. You get farther by building people up rather than tearing them down.

[@dandreher5679]

Sounds like the rail road industry I work in our bosses are like that guy you described only good thing is we have a few guys that stick together

[@jrlbennett2]

Good news always travels slow and bad news travels fast.

[@dustinc2773]

Jason Bennett very true. I couldn’t pass up this comment and not like it.

[@shannonsmith2085]

I've been down that road matter of fact last week and the one guy that was talking crap about me was my best friend and I got him the job that he has and it led to me not having a job but what comes around goes around

[@bamadondon0495]

So many people out side of the welding industry need to see this video. People every where need to see this video. I'm a welder also an I can't tell you how many people I've worked with and still do that do this crap. Try and be-little someone behind their backs. It's ridiculous. People need to grow up and worry about their selves. But I'm glad you put this out there. I'm gonna share the hell out of this video. Have a Good week and weekend bud. Hope the wife and baby are doing awesome!Stay safe an stay YOU my friend!

[@aaronaustinmusic7715]

There is no shame in being the better man, everyone has repairs at some point.. EVERYONE. it don’t matter what hourly rate you’re making, we are human and can’t be perfect. I’m the same way Jacob, really burns me up to have someone talking down on me especially to the boss. Keep burning them rods, you’re gunna change this industry slowly but surely

[@edgundlach2811]

Great video! I fell into that trap also. For me tho when i woke up to what i was doing i had to figure out why i was doing it. It came to me that for me, it was because i wasn't happy with what was going on in my life. When i understood that, i was able me to make small adjustments to what i was doing, and how i thought. Bad mouthing stopped, and i can't tell you how much better i felt when i stopped bad mouthing. Just being open about it. Maybe it will help others. Now i am able to feel the real joy when other people are succeeding. Blessings

[@samdunston94]

Man this is why I love you're channel I've worked with hundreds of people but only been able to vibe with a few decent ones and even the decent ones get alot of backlash for not being like everyone else so thanks for bringing this up!

[@waynetutt3766]

Yes sir my daddy always said if you can’t say something nice about someone don’t say anything at all. I passed that down to my two sons also. An words from your mouth can be most hurtful to someone feeling. Well said sir I do worried about our world today. Wayne Tutt

[@cree5433]

Awesome choice of words to respond to that guy. Staying positive and not looking for argument just letting him know you knew what he said and that your above that. Smart man.

[@jamespage2602]

The people that's talking about someone else to you you can believe there talking about you too them as well

[@christianpringle253]

Thanks bud needed that this morning. Been dealing with a situation like that but with my boss. And your right it's real easy to fall into being that person that just tells everyone else about it instead of dealing with the situation.

[@stevezickefoose8563]

Carma never sleeps , and she never forgets. Good job Jake, excellent advice

[@Digginok]

Great advice partner!!!! A confident man has nothing to loose if he builds someone else up!

[@cupwalker24.7]

Such powerful words...glad to know I'm not alone out there, thanks Mr Schofield for your time ... I have walked away from so many welding jobs just because the bad mouthing is astronomical that you don't wanna be involved . You can be the most bad a$$ welder and the worst welders will destroy a man's reputation simply because they can't weld as good as you...it goes way deeper and beyond that morally when you are welding for a actual living providing for your family and building future's for our family's

[@wellshodgarage2752]

This is great I feel like I went through this and I will say when you only compliment others no matter what you really think. Eventually everyone will come to you for your work just because you are nice about it. Honesty is absolutely the best policy. I live my life around that. Way easier than remembering a circle of lies. And you will end up having friends that are like minded and not jealous. Thank you I felt compelled to comment

[@rogerreinhardt9964]

Your %100 correct. Their is always that person. It's usually just they have something they are scared someone will say about then so they try to keep the BS on someone else.

[@wyattzeeff2220]

Boy I needed to hear this, thanks Jake hopefully everyone takes this to heart

[@haroldmcfalls6724]

Vicious cycle! It's mostly about attitude and performance. Most people don't want to see people succeed. It's sad but it happens constantly. The funny part about that whole situation is if the foreman or superintendent is the same way you will never be able to stop it. I've had some great bosses who wouldn't let this go on. The ignorant people got ran off. The way it should be!

[@ScoobySnax88]

Ther always seems to be that one person no matter where you go. From my experience in different jobs, if you confront the person level headed but firm they will usually back up and sometimes it sets their demeanor straight. Either way it's one less person to deal with once youve said your piece. Best to confront it than shy away

[@aplong1911]

Well said, I took this advice to heart and hope to be the better man , do on to others as you would have done on to yourself.

[@savagemike9967]

THIS is one of the reason I respect you so much!

[@imcallingbs1883]

Jake, you are wise beyond your years my friend!!! Great respect for you brother. God bless you and your family

[@Blackbeard21]

Hey man 100% agreed. The job im in there is so many older guys gossiping and too much of babies to confront each other. Very sad

[@samyz1660]

Jacob Schofield When I started my new job i was surprised how people are, gossips everywhere for no reason, the bad part is if you refuse to be part of it like my case u will be hammered with false and lies in the ear of the supervisor. Then I figured who gives a shit , i'll do my work and no get closer to this mess.

[@christianpringle253]

We should be talking about ideas and building people up and not gossiping like a bunch of little kids

[@samamthaj9768]

Wise words and great attitude

[@edwardsalinas9004]

VERY GOOD ADVISE 👍... U ARE ONE OF THE NICEST PEOPLE THAT I'VE EVER HEARD. EDDY S. ALWAYS TEACHING & LEADING. GOD BLESS 🙏 U .

[@timwestendorf8303]

The best friend you can have is one that defends your honor when Your not there.

[@keithparady2594]

And that group of people are most definitely talking shit about each other to I c it almost every damn day and they wonder why why I don’t wanna talk to them. Good one man

[@xDaGmanx]

im dealing with the sameshit right now at the fab yard in new mexico but you hit it on the nail be positive

[@5bigjeff]

Amen Jake i need to look deeper at myself thanks for sharing this way ro walk the walk not just talk the talk.

[@sergioramirez3328]

Really good piont brother your absolutely right be safe brother and keep on welding

[@Gordyz69]

Amen to that. The oilfield has always been kinda cut throat and dog eat dog mentality just for the simple fact everyone out here knows this isn’t going to last forever. The greed gets ahold of people and they will say or do anything to be the one to keep working. I know exactly what your talking about. Don’t get me wrong I’ve welded with guys that would go above and beyond to help you out, but I’ve also worked with some that will not even give you the time of day to prove yourself. That’s just how some people are, but I would much rather know that someone doesn’t care for me, than someone acting like a buddy then backstabbing me at every turn. Unfortunately snakes are hard to spot. 6 years of oilfield welding in WTX next month and I have seen this only get worse and worse. Love the videos, Take care and God bless.

[@noairplanewaseverfoundatth4336]

Lol not just in oil fields it's in all walks of life. You think adults would know better but I've seen these negative traits in old men and women.

[@austinwesely7059]

Great advice happens on every job, always gotta be humble and the bigger man. That will show more then being the gossip king!

[@michaelmaher1845]

i love the message! keep doing the right thing! love your videos as well

[@bretvancil6055]

When are we gonna see a welding bed video?

[@wademoore438]

I always found if you the very best that you can do, you will get noticed, and help were you can. And you fine sir have helped me a ton... Just got me sa200 rebuilding now and well on my way. Thanks Again, keep your head high.

[@austinrehn471]

Hey Jacob been watching you for some time now and have been wondering where you've been and how old you are/how old you were when you started in the pipeline industry

[@tedallison8679]

I follow your videos just because youre a good positive person. I dont even weld, i farm. Great advice every video

[@devinhaury4912]

Words of wisdom Jacob, may our Lord Jesus Christ bless you and your family

[@coryellis9480]

#TheGoldenRule shame not alot live by that anymore. If people could just mind there own business it would be a awesome place we live at. Be blessed my friend. Great message!

[@willcrosbie8806]

Don’t talk about it be about it. Truth man

[@wadewittman8510]

Great video buddy! Happens all the time in the Farrier world, you know what I'm saying 😉. Just keep moving forward.

[@lucduke24]

Everyone needs to learn this.

[@Botanas_el_Hatch_para_Gallos]

If you can't say it to my face. Don't say it behind my back.

AMEN!!!!!!!!!

True brother!!! Sadly that’s the world we live in today

[@AdamTheSaint]

First video of yours I seen, and it's all I gotta see to hit that subscribe button.

thanks for the subscribe! be blessed!

[@metalslingr]

Nothing but truth, Jake. Good stuff.

[@wavypt1981]

Well said...spot on. Great video!

[@oscarlizarraga3689]

It's like that in the plants as well. nothing but backstabbers nowadays!! I personally told the guy two weeks ago there's two gates east or west I'll pick one then we can both go outside and settle it like men!!

[@wycliffkaramath537]

Bro it happens all over the world i suffered from that in dec last year

[@brandonlewis603]

Maaaannnn if this isn’t the dang TRUTH!! Everywhere you go! Just gotta do your thing and block our all the bull stuff!

[@enlightened1onewon]

Sometimes the rest of the group deserves to know what youve done

[@bllayzee]

amazing video jake. keep up the great work 💪🏽

[@benjaminsalmons7253]

Subbed just because of this video. I thought morals were dead.

[@fittergrips2010]

My father a pipe liner told me that this is the way of the world. No matter what on average 1 in 6 is a solid D*ck . Avoid pipeline politics if at all possible . People twist things around to look good . Measure your words . Some times the best thing said is nothing at all . One of the worst is original sin . Early in my career I was fired from a job because of a conflict between a individual and my father 20 tears prior . This person was a real snake . up front as well he had someone else fire me which I found out later from another company foremen . If you have family members in the same business it is incumbent upon you to be a straight shooter or you could affect their lively hood . Reputation in this business is everything ,and it is not just your ability it is also your moral character . Don't be telling lawyers truths . Have a good one Jake

[@tlent55]

Do you think you are less small minded because of KZbin or because of the industry you are in? Love your channel!!

[@craigschofield64]

It must be the Schofield genes to face people who talk crap. I have been that same way all my life, and all my immediate family are the same way. Do anything you can for other people and never say anything about someone that you would say to their face, and don't talk smack about us because we will call you out on it. Life is so much easier being this way because you never have to worry someone might find out what you said about them.

[@savagemike9967]

Sorry you had to deal with that man god bless...

[@bigshortstack2929]

Amen, Jacob.

[@claytammaro7060]

So true, the ball sucker welder was wrong,he shouldn’t even be talking to a super. People like that are always trying to make themselves look good at your expense.

[@jeffryshupert7471]

Often, those who are doing this, will lose their jobs. Bosses don't need drama. They need work. Work is never helped by drama.

[@tylerwinstead6990]

Hey quick question Do you have any tips to make my beads look better welding pipe “THE CAP 7018”. I’m having trouble mainly overhead and some what uphill vertical. Any tips?

[@jacobanderson9523]

Damn Jake wish everyone had that attitude the world would be a great place

[@matthewlewis9996]

That's a big part of the country's problems today

[@RickAShriver]

Small minded equals small goals!!!

[@dnvautoperformancewelding445]

the people talking bad are the ones that know you are better than them and are afraid they will lose jobs to you

[@noairplanewaseverfoundatth4336]

I don't buy that stereotype, figuratively speaking jerks come in all sizes and colors

[@Gunner1750]

I could probably be a lot farther along in life if I back stabbed and talked smack about my fellow employees but at some point I would have to live with the regret and everyone knowing how I got so far. At the end of the day when I go home I know that I was honest and fair. And that takes me farther in life as a person then any other short cut to the top. Be your own man. And life will balance out on it's own.

[@zekedelafuentejr5626]

There is always going to be that one person that’s why I try to stick to myself but and at the same time not to act like I’m stuck up cuz that’s what they think when you try to mind your own business it’s always best to try to ignore them people eventually they will have to swallow their own words

[@ajwilson313]

Three dislikes....those are the blokes that gossip.

[@alfredoperez5665]

Are u going to be in houston

[@JonDingle]

I have been on the wrong end of bullshitters I have come to the conclusion they are poisoned by their own lack of a life and future.

[@travisnichols8683]

Well put Jacob!!

[@warrenwilson7572]

That’s exactly rite.

[@youcanthandlethetruth6976]

Don't be angry about it, that's how the devil slides into your heart, through your anger. Forgive him and move on, he can't do good because no good is in him. The devil works overtime to turn people's hearts angry, so you must work overtime to do what is right and just. Forgiveness is the path to salvation. Anger is the path to damnation. Don't judge him, just know he can't help himself because the devil has entered his heart. Forgive him and pray for him.

[@rafatrill]

They do that in truck driving a lot of truck owners that work in construction it's bad for the wages in the any industry

[@CBlakeMN]

The 6 dislikes are that guy and his pals...

[@kellypenrod2979]

LOL! after 44yrs of operating, driving, welding, an wrenching on spreads, heavy construction, an plant work, I have seen and heard more chickenshits talking about who all they think is a horse's ass than Jimmy Carter had peanuts! What always amazed me was how many time's it was the same tired story repeated by different nitwits about some other poor bastard who was just trying to make a hand and wasn't bothering a soul. Yeah, DON'T be THAT GUY! Things that start around tend to circle back an bite you in the ass. Stay safe out there my brothers.

[@guerofvfsaedf764]
