Whats the difference between being patient and being a bitch?

Sounds like you have to tolerate it, understanding this dude's mentally ill and could do something completely violent or completely off base. Like take a hammer to you when you aren't looking.

I suggest looking for another job.

Honestly, that's pretty fucking loony that your construction co. gave foreman to a schizophrenic. Like... wtf?! Schizophrenia is nothing to sneeze at. It's no depression or add. It's serious as fuck. Has he told you he's diagnosed? He might just be a crazy asshole. Real schizophrenics usually cannot hold a demanding job for very long. I'd be out. Go somewhere else. To me it wouldn't be worth the stress.

having self control doesnt make you a bitch. quite the opposite, in fact. personally id think of it as exercise. whenever he goes off on you, your self control is just lifting weights man. so he's unstable.. who cares. honestly he probably just hates his life, and like you said he has real diagnosable mental disabilites. if you cant stand it, find a new job. dont ever get into a screaming match or a fight with him though. not worth it

Be careful. I've worked with a lot of guys like this in construction. Had a boss like that for 2 years. When my ltr at the time told me she didn't like who I was turning into, it made me think and I realized she was right.

I had become more defensive, grumpy, less energetic and less positive. Don't think you can just shrug it off for years.

No one can answer that question for you.

My opinion however comes down to what your priorities are. Like your job? Like getting paid? That's what you have to deal with.

Can't stand the guy anymore? Find other work. Don't expect to somehow "hold frame" or jedi mindtrick him into being a different person that dog don't hunt. Actually alot of people are like the guy you describe - give them the tiniest amount of power and they reveal their inner douche.

I mean, on the one hand I want to say its a great way to learn frame, but on the other you're exposing yourself to a very real danger by continuing to work with him. Construction sites are dangerous to begin with.

Yeah so in my opinion, you seem to kind of like the guy and think hes funny, now he may be putting on a show to try to make everyone laugh and be a hard-ass I don't know. But if you find it funny and it doesn't actually affect you, and if you keep your job, you should stay if you like. Now lets say you see him out in social setting besides work and he try's the same shit, that might be your que to bounce unless you can Red-pill him without consequences and keep your job. If you have suspicion of seeing him outside of work, you might want to find another job lined just in case. But if you don't like your job id bounce.

Almost every boss is crazy. That's why I decided to be one myself. Tired of taking shit from other ppl.

When you work for someone else, being patient and being a bitch may be the same thing.

Unless you can walk away and quit. Freedom is having options.

Sounds like he has bipolar disorder tbh.
