I don't think he was nitpicking. Au contraire mon amie, his comments lie at
the very heart of the issue. I think you were the one who missed the point.
It may seem to you that the boss is a slacker, but there are obviously some
issues that you seem to have overlooked, like the fact that he has something
invested in the business which you don't, the tools and vehicles. The time
that he spends on the phone while you are working is most likely spent
lining up the next jobs so that you will have something to work at when you
finish that one.
Every manufacturing job has a variety of jobs. All of them are important,
and just because the guys on the production line are the only people touching
the product does not mean that the others are not providing an essential
service to that production. From your stance on this, I would be inclined to
suggest that you success in the working world, or lack thereof, is more a
function of your lack of understanding in how to get ahead in the system.
If you were willing to invest in the tools and vehicles and do the work to
start a business and drum up customers, you'd soon be in a position to
face the hassles of running a business and have envious employees running
you down behind your back too.
