I miss Parker’s grandfather what a sweet man he was. I always got joy out of how excited he got when he would see Parker
Yeah he was a great man. Rip.
He would be proud of His Grandson
He was the only person that actually liked parker
Wonder if he was the boss Dean would have left! Or worked it out
Yeah his grandfather was amazing.
Man I've been through this situation before. When someone tells you to do something and you finally get it down. And right when you finish it. They wanna come and see on the last day and suddenly it's all wrong. Well seems like better communication on both of their parts would of been smart.
Parker's got a lot of stuff to do off the show. He has a foreman that he trusts to get stuff done while he's away. Like Dean said, he's been building pads and berms for 30 years, so should have built the pad large enough to take the machine planned to go on it. No excuses for him.
My boss does it all the time, we call it backwards construction lol
@@xenaguy01 TRUE
As a foreman he should know how much space the washplant etc needs to operate.
Been there still havnt been payed for my work
Feel for Dean ,he did what he was asked.Maybe a supervisor should have stopped and said these dimensions are wrong.
Problem is the supervisor is on the tools and the owner has little idea
The foreman is suppose to be able to work independently. Everyone saying that Parker should have sat there with a tape measure making sure the dimensions were correct daily is funny. You can’t run a business and sit there all day and check jobs daily
@@kingxw0lf545 they should also give direction to say exactly what they want built.
@@kingxw0lf545 you simply tell a person how wide or long you want something built. that doesnt take hourly micromanaging.
@@rileysmall4317 If I have someone working for me with 30yrs experience and I tell them I need a pad for the washer, I’m paying that he knows to measure out what’s needed and then draw up a site plan and send it off to No1 for approval. That’s exactly what I’d do.
When you have a crew that has no clue what's wrong, that is a lack of communication from the Owner.
I have talked to Parker before he was famous, the guy is really a clueless soul. The buck stops with the boss, that goes for the skills his staff develop, the responsibilities given, the rewards allocated and the outcomes of a venture. If you do not have a handle on all of these things, are you leading your team to success, or are your team leading you to something else?
@@TheSkidds I run three different businesses, one of which invests in businesses like his. I employ a large number of people. What or who I am is irrelevant, but it qualifies me to express my personal experiences in dealing with Parker.
@@asiatravel2010 I run 200 businesses! That makes me an expert on literally everything. Especially businesses like his. I too am irrelevant, which makes me even more qualified than you, and affords me the opportunity to express my own, superior to yours, opinions on the matter of dealing with Parker.
I don't know about that. I think experienced workers should carry some of the responsibility. It's a completely different story when comes to someone who's new, but Dean seems like he's been around.
@@mauriceorayii2964 They all reacted as if they did what Parker asked. Because of that alone, it leads a reasonable person to assume Parker didn't articulate himself well enough.
I’m in the construction business, we building 1,000,000 square foot facilities and I can tell you with 100% certainty that Parker’s problems stem from Parker’ inability to direct properly. As a supervisor he should have told him the exact measurements he was to build to, not figure it out after the fact.
Absolutely
exactly you don't measure AFTER he built what he was told to build and that should've been measured before,you measure 75ft you want at least 100-150ft then you have room to work but it's his responsibility to tell him 150
100%
If you tell your second in command "make an area for the washplant", and the guy has 30 years of experience, you should trust him to know what that means. If you are paying for 30 years of experience, you also expect that experience to have had some impact on the mans ability to realize absolute basics, like having to be able to do the things a washplant is supposed to be doing, including having access for cleaning out. Parker was not the supervisor here, he was the manger talking to the site supervisor.
@@kodez79 a supervisor should be doing just that, supervising. That’s actually law. He was an operator. I have 18 years experience in construction. My number 1 rule is : trust no one. This small rule has saved my backside thousands of times from peoples incompetence.
Why weren't the specs for the pad made explicitly clear in the beginning?
IKR!! Parker waited till the last minute to check.
I just made a similar comment, lol. i think its just fabricated for the show. There is no way anyone with even a little know how about pad building or any building would not layout everything before hand.
Because it’s the foreman’s responsibility
@@adamdemartinis72 No its not. The foreman is given the dimensions. Foremans responsibility is to make a plan of action to finish a project and then follow through and supervise others and make sure the job gets done efficiently. The foreman is always given the details of a project by an owner or superintendent. Superintendents and business owners will always check up on foreman especially when the outcome can cause serious delay and loss of money.
@@jdelapaz14 This exactly. I run a crew based off of drawings, project manager directions, or GC or client specific requests. I never make those decisions. I do make many decisions on how to accomplish those goals in the fastest, cheapest, and safest manner.
‘I’ll meet you at my office’
Meaning pack your bags!
Dean should've said he wasn't finished yet and add the additional dirt after their measurement 😂😂😂
It’s really not even that big of a deal? Get the bozo’s together and tell them what you want, get it done and then move on?
there is kinda a topic of time over cost over profit, it was needed to be done in like 2 days, took 6, to be complete after the mistake fix in around 2 weeks, you don't stay in business for long, it is a big deal, doesn't seem like because we don't have the time and cost of that exact mistake in mind, the guy that did it fired himself and has family, think
not that simple, they have to tear down part of it to get the base right.then build back up.
Parker still needs to work at being a supervisor. He lacks communication skills with his crew. Sometimes failures have been his fault but others got blamed.
To get more drama on the show they need to get the two brothers from Oak Island to collaborate with Parker.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭
Don’t give them any ideas. They’ll say that the knights Templar discovered gold there over 1000 years ago but couldn’t haul it all away so they threw it in some lake no one’s ever heard of left.
I've been in that situation. My immediate reply is "I just did what you told me to do." Dean didn't say that which leads me to believe it's Deans fault and he just doesn't want to admit it. With that kind of attitude is tough to learn from your mistakes.
you must be watching a different parker than ME !
@@marcelfortin7035Parker did the right thing, payed the man and shook his hand, I've seen worse.
No joke, whatever happened to accounting for MORE space than what you need, so you don't have to come back and correct something later?! Especially when you know how wide the buckets are so you can use those as a gauge
30 years and the best he has ever built? Seems like the very first step was skipped.....a plan.
Exactly parker did not give him a plan. In my country parker would probably receive fines so big he would never be able to mine again.
@Rob van Driel guessing Australia
@@coolboy28000 fines for what?
@@prydepythons Yeah, that's what he said
Parker is more mature than most people I know. Atleast he had the common decency to pay his last check. I know adults that couldn't figure that part of business out.
Well I mean...not many children running businesses lol
@@vivelajonny you'd be surprised.
Parker is a glorified cry baby. Be real
my foreman tells me that the reason guys get upset cause they didnt plan far enough ahead and just go to fast. mistakes happen when you try and go to fast. parker needs to keep an eye on his investments if he has a better understanding of the job then he should be there watching it
I agree! You gotta roll with the punches or every day is going to be a mole hill that you turn into a mountain, Especially if you get complacent. I always try and remember my guys have real lives and lots of things on their mind - they may have the skills, but it's my job to ensure they have the details. Poor workmanship is on them. details being completed properly is on me.
Not owning to our mistakes and blaming someone else is so childish..
Yet I still do it like this and don't even notice it
you're very humble for admitting your own shortcomings. just try to make the next right decision as often as you can
Everybody does that once in and a while depending on their mood and the situation, whether they’ll admit it or not
If this happened in the real world the foreman would have just got to work fixing the mistake and been responsible for friday beers until it was sorted.
Yeah, with their machinery wouldnt take long!
That’s what I said
Hard working for someone younger than you that still has to mature and learn how to be a boss
Parker was super respectful at the end to him. He’s really grown a lot
You realize this is years old
Parker is a hard worker, he needs to learn how to be a boss. He hasnt learn how to yet.
Scrapping the word boss helps
Yup
Leader**
That was Parkers Grandpa that offered his hand to his former foreman. His influence is still the Keystone of Parkers success and slowly evolving maturity.
It takes time to mature
For Parker to walk up, pay him his last chq & offer his hand, shows he is a decent boss. So many would of booted him, not paid him, and definitely not shook his hand & wished him all the best
Parker's not a big man. He probably thought he would get punched out.
@@Usammityduzntafraidofanythin Your right there, there isnt much of him. Probably why he did it through the window of the guys truck
@@timp1390 at 7:44, Parker clearly offers his hand 1st.
would have
"So many" don't have a camera crew documenting the moment...
As soon as any of Parker’s employees get an opportunity elsewhere, their out of there. They can’t all be wrong.🤷
that's why you check your employees work. boss didn't want the hold up, should of been on top making sure the site was ready. always double check.
You don't babysit a guy that says he has 30 years of experience as a Foreman. You expect him to know his job for the amount of money you are paying him.
Personally I would like the actors to stop telling the camera personnel to stop filming them. This is TV, no use pretending it's legitimate mining.
It's sad that he just live his job just because of a simple issue may be they just need more communication to fix it is soon as possible.
Just lower the pad it will become wider as you do it , then fix it as you go
they need the angle for the juice to roll downwards
Rich, u got to keep the elevation high so the water level won't flood the spot where the sluice plant goes
Weird that he made a mistake but afterwards says he doesnt wanna waste any more time there. What is that messed up attitude?
Parker has really come a long way when dealing with his staff. Weather just for the camera or not, You handled that situation like a real Leader.

A real leader would of caught the mistake

Parker knew he had a chance of being shot approaching that RV door...😂.
I work on River. And done a lot Construction mostly Railroad. You have to have Communication. If you don’t have it. It causes a lot of problems and anger, sometimes fights. I think they handle it well. Think more to it, what we didn’t get to see.
Hey Australia, can you upload "new" clips from the "new" season? Thanks, from Gold Rush fans everywhere
I can remember watching this and asking myself where Parker and the other guys such as Mitch were when it was being built just to make sure everything was going to plan.
My brother runs three MASSIVE jobs and he makes it to each one several times a week
How does this guy not see this job for five days until it’s done!?!?!?
If he would have spent less time talking about his experince and skill and a little more time pulling a tape measure.
I feel you Dean
Out in the real world parker most likely would be punched out by noon, has to be a agreement not to argue with him or put your hands on him.
Surely the pad size must be the same everytime ones made..... to accommodate all the equipment.
Perhaps he should have been told how many feet it needs to be .
its not their 1st wash
He shouldn’t have to be told, he’s the foreman. Not a rookie.
@@drones9667 It doesnt matter how long youve been doing dirt work, layout is always done first no matter what. Always. This is clearly for the show.
Something so simple but costly could have been avoided if they were both on the same page
Poor planning on Parker’s end. Why wasn’t plans with measurements drawn out on paper before setup even started. He constantly shoots from the hip making costly mistakes.
Parker come on. Talk about what. Did you see the guys face when he realized he messed up. I expect so much more from you brotha.
Parker is a bad person. He demoralises people. Ostracises people. Demeans people. His communication and management skills are way below par. He fell into this position with the benefit of nepotism. The fact that it's into the hundreds the amount of people he has fired or have quit says everything.
@@libbad7419 just like his grandfather then
@@libbad7419 he has become another... narcissistic boss.. a flawless leader where only you make the mistake, not him
It’s Parker’s fault, he should’ve been verifying the dimensiones with the foreman from the beginning, he’s the boss, it’s all on him for faulty supervision.
exactly dont expect someone to build something just going off of nothing they wont get it right everytime
@@cjhouser117 except when he boasted about having 25 years of experience lol but I do agree too
That's why he should taken measurements and account for the people working on the wash plant. he is the foreman he should have know what he was doing from the get go. The foreman is the supervisor or manager Parker is the boss.
Supervise the foreman? Lol
Helps to be able to add.
Parker handled that perfectly
Any real manager knows that you “trust but verify” for staff doing tasks, especially critical ones or ones with consequences like lost production time. They left him to this task and Parker never bothered to check on him for something so important? Maybe he was too busy reading the Discovery script or having a meeting about the next manufactured drama they were planning?
💯
Yea
The guy said he 30 years of experience. If you are unsure of something you ask questions. I have been in charge of 15 employees sometimes and if l am unsure I call someone to help me.
Wait you mean to tell me there is a script in this show,
@@BiGPappI-bu6fn did you not hear the guy say 30 years of experience. This a business with alot money involved every employee should ask questions on job duties if unsure.
Parker needs to be careful, he may loss all of his friends.
Friends and work are a bad mix. You'll either loose your friends or loose money.
Awsome show
What you guys don’t get it that mistakes like this costs thousands of dollars and they can’t afford to lose any at this point
That's why you need to verify again and again and make sure it is well done and NOT wait at the last minute to double-check.
It isn't rocket science.
Planning and communication 2 first things you learn before running any business if not learned will fail any business
Why didn't they get all the measurements And all that logistics in place. Where what piece of equipment was going to be And what area it needs to operate. Wow! Could have been avoided. And why didn't one of the employees not see that it was not going to fit and say something. Did they want him to fail to get rid of him?. Crazy! I'm sure that one of them knew it was too small.
because none of what you said was in the script.
he was the foreman, this is the person right after parker in charge. He has to know this stuff.
Because they wanted some drama for ratings, this is all for show. Either that or no foreman/manager here knows what they are doing.
Even mitch from afar said it was too small.. I mean Idk even Brandon knows. 🤷♂️
Shoutout to parker not putting the Ebrake on with that hill
Parker:can you all just back off
Me: grouch!
Is this season 12? Has it aired on tv yet?
Well they’re both at fault. I’d say it’s still more on the foreman though. I mean, if you’re building a pad and it’s not even close to being big enough, wouldn’t he think “dang this looks a little small. Let me stop and do some measurements.” Instead of just pushing around dirt like a horse with blinders, gotta think about what you’re doing. Goes for Parker to. Can’t just tell someone to go so something without a detailed plan and you definitely don’t show up at the very end and then measure. He’s got his money invested in it so even if he’s gotta micromanage, that’s better than ending behind still and losing help
He only measured at the end because he noticed it was wrong. I guarantee you he gave the guy the right dimensions and he screwed it up.
Parker never was the smartest. But this really shows his lack of handling situations well.
Dean wasnt handling that well either. Acting like the rest was wasting his time while he made the mistake
@@matthijsvanemous7046 I mean Parker was blaming him for everything. Watch the video that comes after this one. Parker woulda fired himself lol.
@@matthijsvanemous7046 They are all "acting". Following a storyline decided upon by the TV producers.
Is the job open? I'll come down.
Parker looks like the undercover boss version of Kylo Ren
I can't unsee it now!!! LOL
First thing he should do is measure the wash plant if u can't do it job step down
Shouldnt of quite man. Get scolded but make it right. Its a tuff gig. That PAYS
try "shouldn't have quit"
I don't know why they think that's a huge mistake. Just add a few feet of dirt that's really it.. I'm sure you could still keep the whole crew busy
A few feet? They needed 14ft at 25ft high. That's alot of dirt.
Im sure its no big deal really you could set half the stuff up while moving more dirt in place for the other stuff an area to clean up can be done when youve actually got some stuff to clean up right? I dno
He never fired him.. He decide to leave..
5:55 alright 🤦♂️
Dang worm 🪱 😂😂
After mistakes, alot of the time it seems they go away and not deal with the problem next day-instead of getting as many men onto it and fixing it...turn the anger into hardwork, instead of letting it paralyse you
“Take days” is hilarious to an operator, woth that size dozer, it’ll take 2-4 hours MAX
Look you always account for machines an equipment yea dean did his job but only half of it if you take the time to measure out the machines an add in the equipment with a tape measure youd have no issues.
This is my boss almost every day lol
Seems like he's dealing with an entirely new group of people...
🤔 Interesting method to measure after the fact. You’d think measurements should be taken prior to starting a project to avoid issues like this. Parker’s complete lack of management skills seem to be the main issue. You never see these types of problems with Tony Beets operations.
Didn't he just lose out on a claim because he himself didn't fill the proper paperwork?
Parker has a LOT to learn. His arrogance and poor attitude alone would keep me from hiring him.
so how much was the last paycheck?
Bubbles went mining
Dean was in the wrong 100 cement. If your boss doesn’t tell you the measurements and you built it exactly wide enough for the big red you would say something when the boss complains about the measurement. Also those saying “they’ve got heavy machinery it wouldn’t take long to fix” it would take 2-3 days as they need to make the foundation stable enough for the loaders, the dozers, the dumps and the excavator. At 150 dollars a minute which is how much money is wasted on excavation 170,000 is lost each day when nothing is running now add that for 3 extra days they have to spend a lot on gasoline for the extra trips to keep dumping to create twice as wide of a space that’s 500k lost in 3 days. After dean quit everything started running like clockwork on the site yet people claim Parker was the problem. Pure copium the boss isn’t at fault for everything that ever goes wrong ever with 30+ years of experience he should realise ”hmmm I built this road exactly the width of big red maybe I should make some space so we can actually pass it and do the work”.
Parker's not likeable at all, but Dean has no one to blame but himself for this fuckup.
He just said he's been building pads for 30 years lol.
I guess 30 years isn't long enough to learn how to measure distance...
in any successful business, the boss needs to acknowledge and understand what social skills are. Even in the most of blue collar jobs -
Seems like lack of communication problem. Probably should have been measurements before starting the job, not after.
All he had to do is make it wider now
Do you guys pay attention? He obviously gave him measurements beforehand. He said it’s supposed to be 52 feet and he’s 12 feet short. So, they obviously went over that before the foreman screwed up.
Why are they always in a super hurry? The ground isn’t going anywhere.
Hold on if your building the ramp for slusifor wouldn't you already know your measurements if your a grader engineer 😉 😜
happy for the man, he did what was healthy for him
Might want to think about the dimensions before ya build it Dean.
I actually liked how they settled it. Sometimes the tension is too much and both of them being able to just kepp their cool and not making the situation even worse was nice to see
I wonder how much his last check was
Superintendent should have layed out the whole flipping thing. Daddy's boy blamed others. Typical.
He not give the guy any measurements to go off of and try and figure it out after the fact?
Parker was So relaxed about how he handled it compared to how he used to act
emphasis on "acting".
It's on TV.
This is what happens when something is handed to you without earning it.
Yea glad he quit waste of space
That's not just the old man's fault there's alot people working there and you just fired the guy Parker knew it was small that's why he said let's mark this Parker knew
AMF.....DEAN.....🤣🤣🤣
That dog was heated
The blame lays on parker. You should have been monitoring something so crucial to production. Terrible leadership with no sense of direction.
It's the foreman's job to know what size his equipment is . You don't start building a wash plant pad without knowing what size it needs to be .
i don´t think parker would have fired him. But Dean wanted to go. But they handled the goodbye well, like men.
So Parker just happened to have a paycheck that was up to date to that very minute?
Who doesn't make mistakes?
True but this ends up costing the crew big time. Spoiler alert that berm he built was not enough to handle the the volume of dirt they end up processing through the sluice.
If there was a movie to be maid about parkers life. Tony hinchcliffe should play him 😂😂😂
