As a green helper, it is important for me to remember that I should never miss a chance to shut up and listen. I don’t talk much to begin with, but I should especially keep it to myself when I think there is a better way to do something. There isn’t a better way for me to do it, not yet. That is because I have been doing this job for a little more than 60 days. I don’t know what I am doing, so there is no way I can know a better solution to a problem that has already been solved.
It is different if I am in charge of the solution. I can improvise if needed, improvise within the knowledge and skills that I have acquired in this short period of time. For example, there are sometimes multiple ways to do a conduit run even when they are short. I have done several such runs on my own and have managed to get them routed to the correct spot with minimal bending, get everything level, and get everything secured to the ceiling or wall the correct way. Had I been told to do the run in a specific way, I may have had trouble doing it. I have had that trouble in the past. See this post on conduit bending as an example.
