He got home tonight and said 2 guys were out today and he was by himself out there in the hot and humid 90 degree weather for 9 hrs today...he still has tomorrow to get through this dangerous weather...:(
He's afraid to take too many breaks because he's new and doesn't want to lose this job...he goes to college and this job works out perfectly with his school schedule...
I told him to take a copy of the hospital discharge instructions advising him to be very careful of the heat and sun as the next incident could be fatal... 
All I can do is tell him to DRINK, DRINK, DRINK, especially Gatorade...since he had this emergency this week with the heat, he is much more susceptible to another incident...  |
I applaud his enthusiasm for wanting to work, and doing his best, unlike some young people who don't even think about working and just sponge off their family. However, he has to realize that without GOOD HEALTH he has NO JOB, NO EDUCATION, and God forbid NO LIFE!
He has to be smart, play things out SLOWLY, and he will see that everything will fall into place. If he's as good at his job, as I think, and he works for a respectable employer, who acknowledges his work, than he should not have work "like a dog".
In work & life, and everything for that matter, respect is earned not given, and that works both ways.
