reaction

What's the best way to react if the boss (man in charge) forgets the chipper is attached to the truck and decides to reverse over it causing a bit of damage (that person being me)

I think a pic would help me decide

Laugh like hell.......

 

Oh right sorry, swear under my breath and see what the damage is and how to repair it.

 

Pics always help have a good laugh tho.

Will try one tomorrow. The list of damages are slight bent drawbar bent tow ball, smashed casing around engine, holed and very damaged fuel tank, cracked rocker cover. Engine fine. It's an old petrol entec KOHLER engine

Be careful not to humiliate your boss on a public forum, unless he's on here and game for a laugh.

At first the OP read to me like he was hurt physically?, if the mistake was made and no malice was intended I would expect your boss to at least pay for the replacement parts and help you fix what was broken. If he could not at least do that, I would not be working for this person in the future.

I'm mildly confused (easily done). Are you the person that did it, and wondering whether your employee's reaction was appropriate?

Slightly irrelevant really, but just to be clear.

 

The only appropriate reaction would be to be concerned, at first...

Then if no physical harm was done to any person the only thing to do is mock the perpetrator mercilessly for many months after!

 

Yes, it probably caused an angry reaction at first, but if one cannot be faced with ones own mistakes and learn from them (rather than get cross at being confronted with your own stupidity through mockery) one would be a less than useless "boss-man-in-charge", gaining and deserving no respect from ones employees...

Yes it was me with 3 people watching. 2 workers and a caretaker. The caretaker didn't stay around long. My first thought was what a TW*T. But accidents happen. We dont learn without them and its only going to cost about £200 to fix. One problem is close family and friends keep taking the pee
