When I was a mainframe computer operator we got a new guy in, Ralph, who knew nothing. When the printer opened automatically (due to 6-ply paper running out) one of the other guys said “uh oh” and told him to go get the green hammer. Ralph spent half an hour searching the entire corporate floor area for that hammer. All that was necessary was to put in a new box of paper and push a button.
These are all excellent examples NO teamwork, NO management skills and total lack of self confidence.
I got rid of any employee that pulled this s***t, a new employee is to be helped not hindered and be brought up to speed as fast as possible not be put down for the benefit of an overinflated ego.
Ultimately this is a management failure, often as a result of promoting line workers to a level of management who do not have or do not exercise management skills then leaving them there.

Stare at a green dot for a minute and you will see a red dot when you look away.

Well, there is a level on which if a green spot of paint on the turns red you are in deep trouble. I’m not sure why. But it couldn’t be good.

Muffler bearings, discomboomerator valve. Must be a short between the steering wheel and the seat. Mechanic humor.

Help your fellow employee, hazing is NOT helping.

Shades of Dilbert giving his boss an Etch-A-Sketch and telling him it’s a laptop you reboot by shaking it.
