As most know that have read my post I’m retired but work a part time job. I had to train a guy who is 31. He caught on fast I showed him one time how to do something and that’s all I need to show him. The job is very simple take money from customers put that amount on the pump. Well about 3 hrs into the shift he was putting the prepays on the wrong pump. Very easy to fix hit tools move transactions to the right pump. Within a span of 30 minutes he had done that 4 times. He turned around and started crying huge tears after the 4th mistake. I told him to take a break go walk it off and I also told him I still do that from time to time. He went behind the kiosk and curled into the fetal position and was boohooing. I went and talked to him and he said he was too stupid to do this job. I told him you have picked it up quicker than anyone I have trained so you’re not stupid. I finally got him to quit crying and come back inside. Finally he came back inside and has done a great job ever since. He is part time also but how do you let something as simple as running a register make you cry. Customers told him it was fine they were in no hurry. Small town with good people. I just don’t understand it. I have babysat him for 2 weeks now answering his calls when he’s at work and I’m not. I call him and tell him what a good job he’s doing. I’m trying my best to help him any way possible. I just don’t understand how a man can let something like that make him cry. Lord help this country if all guys that age are wussies.
 
In today's world at 31 its entirely possible that he has never had any responsibility at all. He's overwhelmed by it and thinks he has to be perfect. My guess is that people have been calling him stupid for years. Unfortunately, he believes them.
He's a product of the current age and a liberal education system. Sadly, he's not alone.

That’s what scares me knowing one day we will pass the torch to that generation. I’m trying to be there to help him out but he’s going to have to decide he’s what he makes of himself not what others say about him.

It makes me wonder if that’s all he has ever known is failure? I’m not one to pry I figure if he wants to talk he will. I will still help where I can but if he never decides he’s not what others say about him but what he makes himself to be he will never be what I call a man.

I really think we will have another civil war before America falls. It came close to happening a couple years ago. It might happen America might fall but there are still people who would rather fight than live under any other than our constitutional republic.

Did you ever stop to think that maybe this guy has some mental condition and may be slightly retarded? What 31 year old male works a part time job like that if there isn't some kind of issue going on? This might be the only kind of job he is capable of doing. At least he is trying to make a living instead of living off welfare.

I remember the last time I cried 2019. I had Covid pneumonia Dr was trying to get me to go to the hospital. I told her I can die at home a lot easier than in a hospital. We had a 15 year old teacup Yorkie who was a vicious 5 pound ankle biter. I couldn’t go anywhere in the house without her right on my heal. She caught Covid from me and she died from it. I was outside digging her grave crying like a baby and trying my best to breath. Men cry or I do but not from making mistakes on a job I just started.

Why do you think I’m babysitting him. Answering his calls when I’m at home and he has a problem at work. Calling him checking on him and telling him what a good job he’s doing. Yes I stopped and thought a lot of things that I have posted in the comments that you didn’t take the time to read. I am trying to figure out how a grown man can let a few simple mistakes that he fixed on his own bring him to tears. He’s not retarted I have family members with Autism I know what that is personally. I don’t know if this is his only job or a second one I don’t ask. What going to happen when he gets an a55hole customer? It’s going to happen. I’ve had some dozzies. But that’s a different thread. Seems to me I’ve done more for him than anybody else in his life has.

Then why do you feel the need to call him out like this if you realize he does have a problem?
 
The problem is that as a general rule we just don't raise men anymore and if you try everything and everyone is against you. The schools try to put any boy that shows any form of masculinity on meds/counseling. Every commercial that depicts men as weak and stupid. Those Charmaine bear commercials in example or the drug commercial (I forget which one) that has the "man" picking flowers while the woman splits wood with an axe. Then there is the constant yammering about getting in touch with your "inner feelings" or "feminine side" and the undermining of traditional rolls. They are traditional for a reason even if you don't like it. Households with absent fathers or any male role model. Society rewarding drama queens of any sex with attention. Lastly far too many males under 30 never heard the expression "suck it up" or "rub some dirt in it"!
Condition1: You're a better person than I am. I would have lost my cool and told him to knock it to :censored: off, get to hell out, don't come back or I'll give you something to cry about.
Mental condition my left foot. 90% of the time that's just an excuse for mollycoddling. It takes fire to make steel.

Unfortunately 100% true.

The so called knowledge they get by the time they finish High School, What did they achieve❓

They are instructed that no child is left behind. Yes, as everyone must dumb down to the lowest IQ.
They all get a trophy for just participating in any event, even if that time was spent entirely on the phone texting.
They all can easily text under the school desk on handed while the instructor is brain washing them to be one of 52 genders, hate the US, destroying anyone or anything that doe not 100% follow you.

Parents, do not discipline their children but expect the school system to do their job and when their gets in trouble with the law blame it on the so called system all while they sue them.

Unfortunately, times have changed for much worse but hopefully there is light on the horizon❓

No it’s you that doesn’t get it. I’ve done all I can.I’m reaching out for anyone that can explain the situation. He’s going to have to man up and control his fears, anxiety whatever his problems are or life will eat him alive.

if, and i say if he has any sort of development issues closely to that of a mental retardation, most likely he does have some sort of social worker type of help, and they in fact helped him get that job. ever see some of the workers in supermarkets..??

down syndrome types...??

they have a support staff, that helps them get training for jobs......

that's only one of many agencies that help, and our tax dollars pay for.

ask him outright, if he belongs to some sort of group home, or social services organization, and if so, contact them, and let them know what's going on..they are experts on calming down thier people,..
 
In the military we call it resilience. You have to build resilience in your young men and women at a young age or they will give up when they meet a challenge rather than push through it. The Marines do a good job of building resilience in recruits, or get rid of them. Most of us who have been through military basic training have seen a fellow recruit melt down during basic. It is a common occurrence. Usually goes into the record as "unsuited for military service". Or it may be due to a bonafide mental illness. Police officers and other first responders regularly encounter people on the street who are hysterical or exhibiting emotions that are far outside the norm for their circumstances.

Children who are shielded from consequences and have not had to overcome adversity will not do well as adults in a work or military environment. Organized sports are useful in building resilience in children. Mental issues aside, you can't hover over children and expect them to develop into resilient adults.
