With reference to my last post - this is currently the winner of " how not to use initiative".
Two men are referred to a job that involved taking a water storage container apart.
When after 4 hours had passed and they were due back at base, someone was sent out to investigate their whereabouts.
Upon arrival at the location of the water storage unit, the men were found leaning against the water unit, clutching plastic beakers and looking rather bloated. (You can see where I am going?)
It was put to them that they had been "some time" when the younger one quickly ran off to relieve himself and the other (in charge) lamented that it was taking them longer than anticipated to empty the unit. (The size of a domestic household oil tank)
The supervisor just calmly took off the top of the container and tipped the water away.
I kid you not.........
