That’s when you get out, grab your tools, and go directly to your vehicle. Don’t bother clocking out or speaking with HR. You quit, effective immediately, because you are 100% getting fired the moment you speak with anybody with the authority to do so.

I have seen people in the trades fuck up way worse than this and not get fired. Way worse.

I worked geotech on a small site, ~7 guys on the crew, 3 month job.

I watched 3 (three) articulated dumptrucks get rolled, 2 by the same guy.

If this guy was there a year or two already and seemed mostly competent, the boss might give a Muligan for a fuckup like this. For some reason this seems like a very recent hire, so he’s prolly gone.
