Bugs is an awesome person and we will all miss him here. Straight up hard working man.
I won’t 😉
Looks like its an end of an era for the old boys now for the new bloods to come in
I seen on the other videos that Ryan would get irritated because bugs would be in a bad mood.or being rushed to build the little house on his new property. I would quit too if I was being exposed on UA-cam.
I won’t lol
@TiffanySmith-ed2ljWow! Bold statement! I like Bugs, Ryan and the rest of the crew. Ryan is one heck of a boss. Who do you know that pays for their employees lunches? Pays them even when out sick? Pays them to go out on a boat and have a mandatory fun day? Let's his employees borrow equipment for their side jobs including Bugs! Come on! Bugs and Ryan both are great at what they do. It is just what it is. If the world had more bosses like Ryan it would be a better place.
As a business owner myself, I have to comment on how valuable employees like Big Ray really are. He shows up on time with a positive attitude, he has a real desire to learn new things, he is loyal, and you can see the pride he has in working for Victory. You may have to keep an extra eye on him, and explain things a couple times, but employees like Ray are getting harder and harder to find these days. Love the videos, God bless!
@@tonym8765buggs is the only person on that team thats been regularly punctual and not only that, he is also the highest experienced finisher on that team... I hope where ever he goes, he gets paid the big bucks
@@tonym8765switched over from hating on Eric to Bugs?
I’m the same with as ray. I went from doing a seasonal job now am full time year round staff and the guys all call me a name of my name and my bosses.
@@tonym8765 Hes talking about Big Ray, and you might wanna watch the video before commenting something like that. Bugs is prob a really good guy, hes a good employee and prob a good friend but for now it dosent work between Bugs and Ryan. Untastefull comment.
About the mice, on the TV show Yellowstone when they need to get rid of someone they take them to the "Train Station" it's a place that has a deep cliff that they get shot first then tossed over!
You could refer to taking the mice to the train station lol
Thanks Ryan for a short and honest commentary on being a boss and how it relates to employees. Bugs and Jade will be missed for sure.
Goooood afternoon, Ryan. I'm so sorry this chapter is coming to an end, but I'm so happy it seems to be amicable. Nothing is worse that a blowup, or fight at the end. Best of luck to Bugs in whatever is next for him!
Ryan is such a good guy for giving money to Ray to fix his phone. That kinda stuff will make a man work so hard for their boss.
We need more people, bosses and business owners in the world like Ryan.
I completely agree
I have lost no less than 3 phones while at work. Broke screens. Boss didn't bat an eye. Told me to get a better case. I just didn't fix it the last time it broke and he got so tired of not being able to get a hold of me on jobs. He agreed to fix it. I hate doing stuff like that but don't feel respected or valued.
Loved that and Ray really appreciates everything
Well he's using his personal phone for work. Here in CA, businesses are obligated to reimburse you for any expenses you incur using your personal phone for work.
Ray seems like the guy who’d run through a wall for you, as his boss.
It’s a respectful relationship where seems like he doesn’t have to be on his “p’s and q’s” at all times and can work, relax and form a bond with a hard working boss!
@@moemanncann895 and possibly rips the trailer suspension off the trailer?
@@moemanncann895 why he no wear the pink hat?
Ray is a grate dude man
@@moemanncann895 Well we all know Ray's got one thing over you even if it isn't driving skills. Attitude lol
I think your on to something.@@moemanncann895
This dude is living proof of working smarter and harder. I love watching people starting from the bottom and making it to the top. Wish nothing but the best for his crew, his family, and him.
Gonna miss bugs like crazy. He was an OG. Hope you two stay really close and who knows maybe he’ll come back. Best of luck to him, wish him nothing but the best. God bless him🙏🏻
why is he leaving?
@@soulsreaper7145just friction between Ryan and bugs it happens
@@loni_the_leobecause Ryan has a bunch of inexperienced clowns that work for him that just goof off all day long
We are all going to miss Bugs. He seems like a genuine dude. I sense that he is going through something right now and I wish him all the best. He will be hard to replace...peace out Bugs.
He's old and lonely. Probably grumpy. It's tough to be older and alone. Having someone to hug and spend time with can really change things for people. I hope he finds a companion that will add some joy to his life.
Hes always been crabby to work with based on them mimicking Bugs an talking about how he gets mad so easily. He's getting older an probably can't get down an work like he's used to which is tough to come to grips with. He can tell based on his attitude when they were working at the new land Bugs wasn't feeling it. Hes been with Ryan like 25yrs and sometimes it's best to move on an not ruin a friendship
@@jeremylay1694 I agree. He has seemed checked out this season. Can't really blame him after doing concrete well into his sixties. The young guys made it even harder on him with their lack of experience/work ethic. Bugs was always picking up the slack. Time for someone else to step up.
@@Nate_Ebeen a lot of jobs that bugs messed up as well. I can remember atleast 4 times where Ryan had to correct his issues.
@Boringunguy recently he had been slipping ryan in the past few months corrected lik3 half the steps bugs set for having wrong pitch or something being wrong
Going to miss Buggs. Always on time, yea he was grumpy but you got to give him credit he’s older and keeping up with the kids who lack experience can be difficult for him. Someone should of been shadowing him so he could step back and just oversee the guys.
He was really good teaching ray how to finish or edge bugs probably wouldn't be so angry all the time if he could help other people do the the job instead of him being the oldest guy and still having to do the most
Someone has to pay for someone just over watching the guys and sitting back. That is why Ryan is there.
Buggs looks like a cool guy, maybe because we don’t see the whole thing they see in real time. Ryan probably doesn’t want to show the bad side of people on youtube. At least not without explaining the issue. That could be said the same for Ryan and everyone else as well.
even if they could afford to pay bugs to be a guy who just sits back and watches over people..... some older people have ways of doing things and wont just sit and watch people doing things, it has to be 100% their way or its not good enough. and bug's seems like the guy who wouldnt just be able to stand and watch.
What happened
@@msacco175Bugs is angry more than usual and Ryan doesn’t address the issue because he likes to ignore personnel issues. Something has to give. Bugs quits.
For every painful door that closes, new ones open. Bugs has been a reliable figure on the channel but paths diverge. Your ability to weather the storm and move forward is a testament to your leadership Ryan. Good Work!
bugs needs to take some time and enjoy himself, truly a blessing of a worker and friend to have for Ryan. always loved to see his ride every morning, im sure he gets alot of enjoyment out of wrenching. Looking forward to next friday's handshake. cheers yall
At the end of the video seeing your youngest daughter first thing when you come home it's such a reward. My 2-year-old every time I come home gives me a big hug when I walk in the door cuz she's so excited. Keep up the great work Ryan
I remember a long time ago one of your subscribers saying that "he was on his way out"! Love the channel, crew, pup, cat, family. Change is the only constant, things will work out I'm sure. Amazing final CURB Bug's. Great craftsmanship sir.
Sorry about the rough time you're having Ryan. As a fellow business owner I know the feeling all too well. Better days are right around the corner. Always appreciate you keeping it real with us and showing the good and bad.
Let's face it, you own a business to make more money than working for someone else. Some employees know that and don't want to be underneath someone forever.
Good luck Bugs. Ryan thanks for all the good content. Ray is a real asset, he is a keeper.
Your daughter holding Annie & greeting you when you got home must be one of the best feelings bout being a father! She was so happy to see you! Ryan she is ADORABLE & you are a very very lucky man!; Much love from Henderson Ga
Moments like that help ease the weight of a bad day. Perfect ending.🐾❤️
Staged
@@enlighten2seven605 don't be a hater!
I appreciate Ryan how open you are with us regarding your feelings and what's going on - lets get real if its negative it's not good for you and the team - without mentioning names you know (Then you mention D I am typing this as I watch). Your going places and you really do need to look after Ray - He has his heart and soul for you can see it.
All your guys are great. You have an amazing group of employees to say the least.. It’s awesome to see Ray stepping up and taking initiative lately. Sad to see Bugs and Jade go but everyone has their own stuff going on in life and that is what it is. He’ll be back one day maybe when things settle down.
Proud of you for taking the high road and being positive versus easily choosing pessimism in this situation. I’m 25 and so far I’m learned that people are the most difficult aspect to life and also the most important. Always choose positivity when dealing with people and other because it is a choice at the end of the day and it’s your choice. It’s good to smile too. As dumb as it sounds it actually makes a difference. God bless man and don’t fret, the smoke will clear soon.
Zeus bless!
From one business owner to another, I applaud you for taking the time at the end of the video to give some insight and explanation towards the thought process. 👏
Ryan, thank you for your explanation regarding Bugs. Your channel is unique in that whether we viewers know your perspective or agree with it or not, we get to work things through our own minds regarding ALL OF THE THINGS you are going through simultaneously. I will miss Bugs, and I know you will too. I wish him the best and oddly wish I could shake his hand and tell him so. You, Ryan, are a STRONG man. Your forward thinking is what gives you forward momentum regardless of the trials. Thank you for being a down to earth inspiration!
@Jonnymac66 GREAT comment !!!
Wow...times change...along with other things unfortunately...good luck bug's..and Ryan..hope and pray y'all can remain friends and go on ..much love and support to all of y'all.. God bless ✝️🇺🇸❤️
Its gonna be weird not having Bugs around or Jade but its for the best. I hope the next few days go well and the friendship can stay intact. Grace meeting Ryan in the driveway carrying Annie im sure raised his spirits. Love the videos.
Heartbreaking to see Bugs go. He was a fantastic employee! Im sure going to miss Jade but on the flip side Ryan you have Eric, Cisco, Tito and Ray the ball of sunshine🤗 The new yard is coming together which I love seeing! A great season was just had with many many more to come! Autum has done another fantastic job editing. Way to go Autum👏👏 Many blessings to Bugs. I truly hope he has a happy and healthy future. Ryan I admire and respect you genuineness. You keep it real! Much love from Massachusetts ❤
Not bugs man ☹️ so glad to have been able to watch him work these past couple years will def miss his dry humor and little jade ❤ best of luck to the man the myth the legend .. BUGS!!
Ryan this is why i love your videos because you really keep it real and always have a valid opinion on things and your not scared to speak your mind. Love the hustle and your problem solving mentality keep up the good work!
I think Bugs wasn't into the goofing around part of the operation. 😂
Yup there’s people that don’t have patience for that.
yep, just like a tv show, he didn't fit the cast any longer so he had to go. tough to compete/tolerate Eric laughing at every thing boss man says, and the constant carrying on.
This channel is more thank just pouring concrete. Always excited to see the crew.
Love from New Zealand.
Bugs is a good man and will be hard to replace, especially with his level of experience, probably next to impossible to replace. However, when things aren't working sometimes a change, no matter how painful or difficult, needs to be made. Hopefully with some time and distance and perhaps some thought and prayer a healing can take place, at least enough to save the friendship. Godspeed to you Ryan.
Going to miss Bugs/Jade and i hope that he enjoys his next chapter. It was great seeing him on the channel. In the summer time, i work closely with my coworkers in cramped spaces, lets just say we LOVE our space once summer work is done.
I can't express how much I respect the honesty and willingness to give your fair side when it came to Bugs. Says a lot about you.
Its definitely sad to see Bugs and Jade leave. Hopefully things will work out for both of your sakes. Wish both of you happiness and good fortune moving forward.
Whatever happens between bugs and Ryan, I know you guys will still be amicable in the end.
Love you guys, and the respect between you have for each other shows prominently. ❤️ 🙏🏼
Thank you for the end of the video...I love hearing about your work drama tbh. I appreciate you being open man
Half of this comment section never worked in construction. People like bugs are the reason why buisnesses keep going.
i did, its really hard, and if you lift alot you need to watch ur back, also work alot in rain etc
@@moemanncann895hahahHhHa I never even noticed Annie and the garbage until all these nancies called it out. I’ve been watching victory episode by episode for a long time. The thought never crossed my mind.
I’ve work with people like bugs my whole life. They only laugh at their own jokes if you say a joke they will never laugh. To be honest it’s boring .
Ryan, as a fellow business owner and I'm sure you don't need reminded of this, your smart to sit on certain issues to think about. I have made numerous mistakes in my past, that I wish I would have just thought about it in a clean mindset. Bugs is a good guy and over the years I have known him on this channel he is a guy of moral. He will finish his time with Victory faithfully and who know this might bring your friendship closer. The hits keep on coming but they only make you stronger.
Going to miss Bugs and Jade, as we can see he’s not the easiest to work with but we can all see the pride, dedication and craftsmanship he always put into his work. Although Bugs is not a man of many words, he did mention on multiple occasions how thankful he was for Ryan, him being his boss and also his friend for 25+ years. Not only did he mention that multiple times but his attitude towards Ryan’s business really showed how grateful he has been; 99% of the time (too)early at work and rarely too late, always helped Ryan with loading the trucks or other things before they left for a job WITHOUT Ryan having to ask for it, when people were sleeping or playing on their phones while waiting for Ryan to give instructions it was always Bugs that was looking for more work to do instead of waiting, bringing homemade food and beverages for Ryan and the rest, doing or thinking about work related things only Ryan and him would do. When Ryan sent Bugs out for a solo job he knew Bugs would take care of it, he knew Bugs was trustworthy and all those traits are really rare and hard to find.
Bugs might seem grumpy most of the time but his character and love for you is something that really showed and I’m sure you feel the same about him.
I hope you and Bugs stay connected even if him and Jade won’t be returning next year 🙏🙏
❤
In addition to being early and getting to work right away he would verify what they were doing that day and he would prepare the trucks for the day without needing to be told what would was needed item by item as the others seem to need.
Very well put!
💙🤞
@naigel1866 YOUR comments were "RIGHT ON" .... BEST comments on this video !!! 👌👍👍👍👍
Ryan.... You are a great employer!!!! You make the hard work lighter and create a good atmosphere. More companies need to watch these videos to see how relations should be between the boss and his workers. Kudos to you Ryan, I really enjoy your videos because I'm learning from you!!!
Such an inspiration… Ryan is truly a great role model. And he has become my role model. I see how he lives and who he loves and all I can think is I want that.. cheers to Ryan! And of course the Crew!!
Very respectful speech you gave Ryan about bugs and him leaving. When your job depends on no rain and when it shows that much rain around you is very stressful bc I use to work in the outdoor and indoor construction industry and Electrical field as a Lineman.
It's A very sad day when one of your best workers leaves. Best of luck to Buggs, wish him all the best.
Seen you again Bugs ‘ it was great while you were there 🎉! And many more blessings will come your way ! Victory Crew stay strong !
keep it up ryan! only way forward. both bugs and daryl are good people, you've definitely learned from them, so has your crew. it's your job to pass that knowledge on, and keep the guys around long enough for it to matter. (not that you didnt have knowledge before)
Watching these programs for myself I see people that remind me of others who have past through my life. Every now and then you see the younger form of yourself in someone but most importantly you see the youth in a loved family member.
Bugs is my Uncle Mike. Those two would either love one another or hate one another.
I admire Bugs. He’s always getting after what ever he is working on.
I hope that the tensions are eased. Work and relationships stay amicable.
Hope to see him work his last day out and a nice celebration for his efforts in this company. He has done this much and it is noticed.
It would be great if someone could get Bugs set up with a go pro so he can share his life with us.
You're a good man Ryan. We all appreciate your kindness. That meant a lot when you handed over the money to get Ray's phone fixed. The little things mean the most. The working man really appreciates. That pause and moment of silence was very touching. Good ish sir!
Ray deserves it always on time and eager to learn doing concrete
doing it on camera defeats the purpose
@trevoraudit you say that, except for the fact that it's all videos so he can keep doing stuff like that with ease.
I hope you and Bugs can work things out in a couple of weeks afetr it all cools down, Make sure you look after yourself as you seem to look after all your guys, Wishing you the best from the UK
My respect towards both you and bugs. Bugs seems like a very good worker. Even at the end of the day he was the only one still working to keep your jobsite clean. He obviously has respect towards you also. You showed respect towards him also. Sad to see you loose someone but wish both of you the best. Still a fan
Bugs seemed like a hard worker in the videos. He will probably be missed but times change and you make the best of new situations. Best of luck Bugs and I hope you find a new finisher that works well with your crew.
Bugs could of gotten sick of the baby sitting ever noticed Ryan has to tell most of them what to do every tiny step besides Francisco and Bugs lol that would drive me nuts
@@blacksmokematters4521 GREAT comment !! BINGO ..... I'll bet a weeks salary that IS exactly what happened, ... over time, it got to Bugs, watching the boyz get away with too much .... (my own opinion...)
@@esousa486 agree. Bugs came from an Era where you had to learn quick or you'd get fired within a week or 2. Now kids like Eric get away making the same mistakes over and over again for years now and Ryan can't get mad and yell without half way laughing at the same time which is why Eric is always smiling and laughing when he messes something up. It's a joke to Eric which isn't good because it will lead to him never reaching his full potential
Keep positive I've been watching you for a very long time God has got your back your a great man and a fantastic father/husband and employer/friend keep moving forward and remember God has a plan for all of us just have to follow. Have a great day and God bless all who reads this.
Give the man more credit. God isn’t real
Hope it all worked out. You seem like a fantastic guy to work for and Buggs seems like he's a hard working guy with an old school mentality and ethics. On the surface it would seem like you guys would be a match made in heaven and it's probably why you guys have had such long stretches working together. That said, Buggs reminds me a lot of many of the commercial fisherman of my grandfather's and great grandfather's generation where sometimes they can be _really_ hard headed and inflexible in their thinking and have a personality and worldview that is _very_ different from our's and they struggle to accept and adjust to it and it causes them to become irritable. I wish you both the absolute best.
Not only will Bugs be missed regardless if that was his last day or the Friday after but Jade will be missed dearly as well. I feel like she's one of my pets, I've watched her grow since a young pup on your channel. I hope the best for you going into the future Ryan I know its extremely tough on a personal level and as a business owner to lose someone like bugs.
How many company owners would let an employee bring his pit to every job?
most will if the dog is trained @@tom519az
Jade was poorly behaved, she needs training
He does this towards the end of season every year. The depression everyone handles differently. God willing he will be back next year. He loves concrete just as much as Ryan.
@@tonym8765why lol

To me bugs is Victory Outdoor Services and helped to make your channel what it is today! ..I know you work hard Ryan and your channel is growing fast please don't forget about the people like bugs who helped to grow this channel..
Obviously who haven't been paying attention... Ryan knows what's going on in his work n business why do you think Ryan didn't beg for him to stay... Basically said ok... Next✓
Lol he left cuz he wanted to ryan don't owe him anything
GREAT comment !!
If he was that important he would give him a big bonus like 10 grand to stay
hopefully Bugs has moved on to some thing better
My dad owned his own construction business and i watched him deal with this for years. Workers came and went for years, it's just part of the business. He had his own "bugs" and they separated a couple different times but worked together for 20 years. I learned so much from him (his name was Ray), and he passed just a few years ago. My dad and i still talk about him often. Good luck Ryan, i know you will be blessed with another good worker soon.
GOOD comment 👌👍
I have almost the exact same story myself. The guy still works for my dad decades later. When my sister and I were babies and my mom would bring us to the job site where my dad was working, the guy would push us around in our stroller when my parents were busy talking. I think from that point on, my dad knew the guy was a keeper and has always done anything he can to accommodate for him.
I hope ray sticks around for a longgg time. We love ray!!!
Me too ray with really good knowledge of the job would be such a valuable asset to his business the way they mock bugs for being crabby they have joked about ray being positive and it's waayyyy better to have someone be happy than negative
Ever notice how Ryan has to baby sit every 1 but bugs and sisco?
@@Sa.d.bo26 Yea he will have to work since Ryan closes shop for the winter.
I love you too
@@Sa.d.bo26 what's rays FB page
This channel just keeps getting better and better every upload 👍🏻
Ryan you know more then anything everything is in gods hands. You and bugs are to animals great people great guys and great workers. Everything will work out for both of you. You guys need to keep a friendship. Lot of people just watched the channel to see bugs I hope that he knows that
Sad to see bugs is leaving but I hope he does at least finish this week off if not next. Very hard worker. Good luck to him ✊🏼
Would hate to say I could see it, but things do happen in life and you just have to move on. Good luck to Bugs and can't wait to see what's next for the crew. I'm sure in the end, everything will work out for the best.
Hey Ryan, sorry 2 hear bout Bugs leaving, his commitment and knowledge will be very hard to replace, hope u find a good replacment. All the best for you Bugs and Jade, sad we never got you on board with a youtube channel, it would have blown up. God bless to all the Victory crew and thanks for entertaining all of us all these years and look forward to many more years more.
ray is my favorite. so funny never in a bad mood always on time to work never late his smile is so addiction
You can tell Ray really appreciated what Ryan handed to him. Hopefully Ray can stick around.
Ouch !! This video hurt even though I guessed this was going to happen. Going to miss Buggs and Jade. Ryan snr you are awesome with a wonderful family ❤ from Ireland 🇮🇪
Big ray is the man! Guys like him are worth the effort to teach and mentor. He's a great guy with a great attitude and work ethic
Ryan, I hit the like button for the video as I always do. I don’t like that Bugs is leaving, while at the same time understanding the issue between you and him. Bugs represents the older guys with a strong work ethic doing quality work. I wish him the best with whatever he chooses going forward. He’s definitely been a great inspiration to a lot of us watching. Good luck Bugs! Good luck Ryan!
@davidharper6132 I totally agree !!!
Yes sir.
100% it happens we get grumpy as we get older.
Ryan keep being you it’s your business you do things right change happens and when it does pain is part of it time heals each and every time if you’re strong enough cheers
Man what a shocker. Bugs seemed to be a team leader with Victory. Wish him luck in his next endeavor. Victory has been lucky to have him. His replacement will have some big shoes to fill. Victory will continue as all businesses do. Stay strong, think positive, take it day to day. Thank you at the end of each day goes a long way.....
God is going to bless you with another good guy Ryan, have faith and know that He is in control. I can see Ray staying around for a long time. You can tell he is loyal and dependable. You dont see that much these days. He is a valuable employee. Take care of the good ones
Your channel is my like my new favorite t.v sitcom! wouldnt have thought concrete would be so interesting to watch and hear about! thanks for sharing your life and business with us
It’s a sad day, I believe everyone will miss Bugs and Jade. But I think it was a long time coming, I truly hope he can find peace in his future endeavors whether he continues to work or decides to retire, he’s a legend. I’m hoping in the next few videos we can see it all come to a nice peaceful farewell and maybe even a nice good bye party for him, despite your disputes and reasons why he’s leaving, respectfully I feel like he’s earned it.
Earned it is a understatement. Without bugs there is no victory. What u ganna do have Eric the kid that has no clue what’s going on ( try and take bugs spot 😂 not a chance. Franny next best worker! Either way they better find a very good/ hard worker / experienced or they in big trouble with the crew they got now. Bugs was a great worker ! Best out of them all hands down( not even close

I’ve been watching you guys for a month or two. I never thought I could sit here and watch people pour concrete as I am nowhere near that kind of industry. But your show is more than just pouring concrete. Each person has their own personality and that’s fun to watch. I can’t believe Bugz is gone. he’s one of the guys I look forward to seeing oh and jade,when I tune in. But it happens i’ve been a chef for 35 years and lost tons of good protégés and sous chefs its a revolving door.
That's every industry.
And everybody's replaceable. Everybody!
@@jeffmabry1149 absolutely
I always liked Bugs, he reminds me of all the Italian concreters we have here, always on time, spot on with their work and sticking to themselves. Bugs, good luck with whatever you are going to do !! You were the best, never idle and allways precise in your work. Greetings from Australia
love watching your videos, reminds me of being in the field working for smaller companies. Been a carpenter/painter/finisher 21 years, was full time in the field for 15
Great news about the building! What you need Ryan, is a LAND 🐈 to control the 🐁. With that brush around there you will battle them forever. Good luck!
I don’t blame bugs. He works with guys that are half invested and he probably gets tired of working while the rest of the guys wait for you to direct them
Nah you’re buggin
yepp , true!
Bugs is mad hes old and never did anything with his life ryan has a business and eric
Let’s not gloss over the fact that Bugs was compensated more than anyone else on the crew for his work. He wasn’t doing anyone any favors as he was paid to for his work.
@@sulimanb1833 still doesn’t negate the fact Ryan has to tell Franny to remove the forms instead of taking the initiative on his own. Ryan pays these guys 40hrs regardless. Why not be proactive
you are a good man. May be hard to work for sometimes, but who isnt? You are the best boss. I would never have any ill will or bad feelings for you. I think you made the right choice, you always make the right choices Ryan. Your the BOSS, you are the man. I own 2 businesses here in Florida. Be Legendary!! Be Legendary!
You pay bugs to pour and finish concrete. Not to pivy around depending on what you have going on in your life. Give the guy a break, I didn't hear a whole lot of recognition after he built your shed for you, I guess feelings got in the way of that. If someone like bugs is upset it's because YOU have under lying issues that are unresolved. I highly highly highly doubt he acts the same when off the clock but I can only speculate!! All the best in the future! All we have is the present anyways!
How can you say that when you aren't there and don't know what really goes on?
@franciscoo2766 it's speculation, forming a theory about a subject without firm evidence. Guess you missed that sentence as your emotions dicated how you reacted here, as well, Franny.
It's sad that bugs had to go, but as a fellow 'boss' I know this happens a lot! As long as it's nothing personal it should work out. But good luck for the future.
Hey Ryan. I think alot of people are going through that uneasy feeling right now. You aren't alone. Dealing with staffing issues myself. Keep pushing dude 🤙
Staffing issues at an all time low...been in business 24 years,never this bad
@@you12150 Maybe become a moderator for him since you care so much how someone comments on a video. Get a life 🤣
You are a great boss for looking out for your employees as you showed when you helped your employee with fixing his phone
You’re a strong person Ryan. Business owners go through a lot of different stress and emotions, not only in personal life, but also with as much that can go bad in business too. I really enjoy watching your business build and to follow along with the daily life of it. I think that is because I relate with my life and business so well, even though I do landscaping and carpentry. All in All, stay strong Ryan, and remember how many times life has gotten better after you pass those few obstacles!
Ryan, losing bugs is a tough one, but 1,000+ hard-working employees would love to work for your company. You will be okay!
😂😂
Man i love rays positivity dude. Makes being on a job a little more pleasant. Keep up the good work Ray. Never change dude.
Looking forward to seeing the progression of the new land. Best wishes to you, your family, and the crew. 👍
Bugs, I wish you the best! You’re a helluva worker! Full respect.
Having said that, if you’re ever able to find a boss that will take care of you in the off season the way Ryan did, that’ll be a miracle.
And finding a boss that will let you bring your dog to the job site everyday, and all the BS that goes along with that. I love dogs , but not at a job site.
Too bad you guys had to part ways, it was good material watching you two in action.
Good luck Bugs.
He’s got a bad attitude he won’t be missed.
@@mikeneumann6289 Every story has a hero and a villain.
Sometimes there are those who are necessary to the plot who aren't liked but serve a great purpose.
Bugs is a grumpy old dude that goes above and beyond in his duties.
@@mikeneumann6289I've been watching for years bug's has an incredible attitude he's just old school. Getting the job done regardless of the challenge and getting grumpy isn't a bad attitude. Carrying a team of guys a quarter of your age isn't a bad attitude. Bringing your coworkers eggs and baked goods from your wife isn't a bad attitude. Giving 2 weeks notice when you could just never come back isn't a bad attitude.
@@mikeneumann6289 Exaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaactly... He's making a HUGE mistake.
Every workplace needs a ray. Always on time and always a smile on his face. What a guy!
I think Ray went to drive a semi truck how true I don't know but I've seen people say it cause they seen his Facebook
Ryan you have tons of people praying for you man
It is a shame Ryan but like you said negativity is contagious. You have to consider your other employees. Bugs is the first one there every morning probably the hardest working and most knowledgeable. I'm sure I can safely say everyone of your subscribers will miss him and his tantrums. May the all mighty keep you and your family safe and all of the success in the future. 💪
Amen bro.
dont we all we are only human
Yeah, negativity will destroy crews. I rather take people like Ray and work a little more than negativity with angry people all day long
Man so sad that bugs is leaving he’s that old man you just know you can lean on or rely on the handle $hit when work gets hard the other guys are awesome and you will all continue to strive but the dynamic will be a bit weird without bugs and jade😢 good luck old timer and thanks for the memories! And to the crew keep it up you guys will keep killin it no matter what!
Love your videos ryan. They are weirdly my chill out vids. I work with concrete so i learn aswell as enjoy keep up the good work
Going to miss Bugs, the last OG of the Victory crew. Just re-watched the Christmas dinner video with the guy from last year and he said he really enjoyed working for you. Sad that things have changed since then. Really hope we see him back someday, but if we don't I wish him the best. Always thought he'd be your ride or die until the end.
Bugs was a good worker that always showed up, hopefully next season you have some discipline for those that show up late or call in.
Man you’re a real nice person and a great boss giving your employee money to fix his phone was super nice of you
Good luck Buggs. I’ll miss seeing you and hearing your quick wit comebacks on the videos
Gonna miss seeing bugs and especially Jade, but that's never easy losing a good hard worker hopefully one of the other guys steps up. Wish bugs best of luck
A string of great luck, a good year, new land and great content. A little bit of maintenance issues at the end of the year isn't uncommon. Bless you and the crew be safe.
I wish I lived in your town man you seem like a top notch boss. I’ve never had a boss as kind hearted and social with the crew like you are. I’m glad you make videos because maybe other bosses will watch and take note on how to be a boss and the world would be much better work wise. Bad bosses will result in employees to develop bad work ethic. If you were my boss I would go out of my way to make you happy simply because you have no problem doing the same.
Bugs you are one of the reason i continue to watch ryans channel
You will be surely missed!!!!!
