@@stevenobrien557exactly this, have seen an equal level of lazy old sods to people who worse their arses off to help the youngsters out. Racist bunch of old people to the softest kindest people who on a hard day would being you a cuppa and give you that old comforting shoulder squeeze. Age proves nothing.
Had a colleague like that. He would come in early because he had to take wife to work and daughter to school. He would get bored so he would organise the warehouse and prepare everything for the day. If he saw you struggling with something he would help you without even saying much. Never a complain and never a day late. He even refused a promotion as it would have reduced the time he spent with his family. Once I changed job Ingot him hired telling my boss I would resign if he was disappointed about my friends performance. He is now in a senior role and is performing miracles while being so polite. When you find people like this keep em close.
Awesome story. I give referrals like that, too. Good on you for noticing and giving him the support - that's the only way the good and polite ones will ever have a chance against the throat-cutters. Keep it up!
Aw I love Bert. The best thing about the world’s Burts, is that they don’t need you to like them. They’re nice and work hard because that’s who they are. If you don’t appreciate it, he’ll always find someone who will,
I adore people like Bert, they are hard working, polite, motivated and efficient. However HR at one bureaucracy I worked for viewed people like him as The Enemy for all those reasons and used their slightly archaic language as a reason to purge them from the workplace. 🙁
I do believe that's what happened in this episode; he found a cheaper and faster way to get the project finished, and the higher-ups sacked him for it.
Bert reminds me of my late father. The man was Iranian, 6'2, and was a heavyweight boxing champion in his day. Handsome too, although his genes were mostly recessive. He had the habit of referring to every lady below 40 as either "Madame" or "Young lady" and brought all the charm you'd expect from a proper English gent. He'd even regale you with tales of going to school with Freddie Mercury (Bucktooth). He'd tell you about last using computers when Lotus 123 was the main accounting software. Unfortunately he passed away due to said smoking. A gentle giant, through and through. Also, there's something about that old timey charm most of us can't really capture.
I work for a certain govt agency who had their heydays in the ‘50’s - ‘00’s, and all of the older guys from the beginning of the last big program (late ‘74-‘11) are starting to retire. Those guys were trained by and worked with the guys that literally moved mountains of steel off of the face of the earth…some of THOSE guys are still around, but in reduced capacities or are retiring as well. The amount of sheer knowledge and raw data they have is absolutely astounding…it’s mind boggling.
There's one where I interned the last summer. He's the encyclopaedia of my profession. Sadly, he's only part-timing now and will retire early next year. Sad to not have the chance to learn from him.
I love the Bert we had in my office but he retired a few years ago. 😢 He was so lovely and helped me all the time and his brain was like a computer. He could remember everything that ever happened in the Dept going back to 1970s. Top bloke. 😊
I heard an interesting idea a few years back about "Silver Eagle" employees or something like that. The idea was instead of having people like this retire, you give them a scaled back part time position as a kind of permanent advisor. They come in a couple days a week and just bring the knowledge to the staff replacing them. They can help out where they can, but they're mostly there to instill institutional knowledge. I loved that idea.
My company employs this idea. I have 3-4 mentors like Bert all ages 70+ that are semi retired. I teach them how to use MS teams, and they give me 40+ years of experience and knowledge.
I am the younger Bert! I use a slide rule as a nod to my old man who was an engineer (and im not all that old too - 36). I often get people wondering up like.... "whats that thing?" quite often i can sort out problems with my slide that would take me much longer with a normal calculator, but then again my brain works different to most. (i have an ASD)
Soon you will be the Old Bert, the cornerstone of the place, the guy all the newcomers tell their problems to. When you are gone, they'll pull their children close as the fire crackles, and tell them stories about "Old Bert once used a slide to..." And as their children grow, they'll pull their grandchildren in as the snow falls deep and crisp.. and they'll tell them stories about the kindness you showed. "Once, a new girl thought everyone forgot her birthday; including me, but Old Bert surprised her with a handwritten card and a box of chocolates. I can still see the tears in her eyes. I was that girl." Now, you are Young Bert, be kind and honest, so that your gray hairs may be a crown of glory in your older years. :)
Got a fella like this at work, honestly he makes the work so much easier with a bit of help here and there. We need more "Berts" in the workplace, they make things so much better
I know a guy like Bert who’s retiring soon. As soon as he announced his retirement, the assistant manager and regional director asked if he wanted to come back as a contractor, so he can keep his pension and retirement plus a nice wage. No one wants to see him leave, but we are wishing him the best.
This is great but I think it missed the best part from my recollection, which is that Bert came back with a much reduced budget estimate by removing all the inflated and double counted costs. He had worked in the government stores board or something and actually knew how to estimate efficient infrastructure capital costs. Could we have that clip too? If Bert had looked at the '24 Comm games, he could've avoided most of the estimated cost blow out and the Games could still be on in Victoria.
He suggests they issue bonds to finance the project and set up their own works department to build. His estimated cost is 2b over 2 years. At the end of the episode, they announce the project for 7b and 5 years. Im assuming this is pretty accurate for how government works hahah.
@@dillonhillier You didn't mention the "kicker"... During show's credits, Katie & Tony in the dark filing room because automatic timer has shut off the lights. Something like: "[Program that hired Bert] was cancelled as cost-cutting measure..." With $7 billion project in the budget, gotta save money somewhere, right? (*sigh*)
Season 3 might have been one of my fav seasons for this reason Not just this episode but there were a few other instances in season 3 where Tony and co had some of the power to say no and the routine weekly inconveniences weren't always as bad. It made the Rhonda and Jim dynamics way more interesting, esp this was just before Rhonda got really mean in S4
First time I visited Australia in 1994 I stayed at a guest house operated by the local affiliate of a worldwide missionary organization my parents were associated with. Bert here reminds me a great deal of the gentleman who operated that guest house. Uniquely Australian and it seems rather representative of a bygone era.
Well because it's thankless in real life. People will be polite and thankful on a surface level. But you whip that slide rule out and show up at 6 am one too many times and people just start expecting it. Pretty soon people are just loading things on you cause they're lazy and they know you'll do it.
I don't know this show very well, but the RUclips shorts are quite funny. (Yes, Minister/Office vibes) I know from them that Tony's the boss, so it's quite wholesome that he goes out of his way to make a cup of tea rather than asking his employee to do it.. nice 👍
I picked up cobol as my career shortly after Y2k. It's a legacy system (and still quite lucrative), i was probably the youngest guy at the time picking it up and most guys that i later worked with were in their 50s or 60s. Absolute old school geniuses who knew the ins and outs of everything from programing to engineering to anything else you can throw at them. One of them said that he used to work on missile systems. Never made anyone tea though.
We have an anti-Bert. We're researchers and our Anti-Bert is a semi-retired academic who comes in once a week. He has very good knowledge in his specific area, but stopped reading about new techniques about 20 years ago judging by what we have to explain to him. He is also the type to have 'imperfect recollection' shall we say about previous conversations and decisions. We recently agreed to completely stop his latest idea after multiple rounds of issues but the next week he was trying to resurrect the project. The real boss doesn't want to rock the boat despited the drain on time and resources he creates. Both of them need to be pensioned off or subjected to a harsh audit of their future plans.
When she was called "love" it made her day - like doing something naughty behind the bike sheds. Just amazing how bad things have got in the corporate world.
I love that this joke has such a terrifying hidden meaning, Competent workers are aging and retiring from the workforce, leaving the rest of us to Scramble out of our social media, Cheeto-covered cocoons to keep Civilization from collapsing.
We had a guy like Bert doing propane. Thought he might be too old. Rolled in, showed up an hour before everyone, fixed the bulk plant that had been having flow problems, showed everyone else how to do thay, ran his route about an hour faster than anyone expected, charmed the office staff full of bitter female divorcees, fixed the customers furnaces just to be nice (not even a thing we usually did) and generally was the perfect employee for like a year then got surgery and retired. He is the only person I know who got the nickname Captain Awesome unironically.
This older guy at my old wearhouse job saved me from almost getting real banged up (I didn't know what a tag out was) basically showed me what to look for who to tell how to mark my machine as unsafe. He had a tec out to help me as fast as he could (he was mid to late 60's ) so it took him to time to get to the office. Rip hector 🤘
I remember this episode. After a short while Bert comes back into a meeting with a revised budget for construction and billions in savings. Bert really should be running the place...whilst the others laugh at the pencil and slide rule. Yepp, more Berts required. They should have made Bert a regular on the show.
A Bert or two taught me at a very young age to hunt other Bert s in life, I did , surrounded my self with them, my life was a very happy one, they take your decision s for you, over ride you, boss over you, but just the feeling of being surrounded by them , it’s a God given pleasure,but a word of caution- don’t judge them how big how efficient how educated how rich how successful they are, then you won’t find them
When I see someone like bart, there is always 10-15 people who ask to promote him. People like bart don't want to be promoted due to either time constraints, responsibility they don't want etc. We all knew it's an excuse to stay where comfortable, but we also know no one lese more fit for the job and the promotion. Most hire ups would promote them without question due to it just being more profitable to have some like this at your level reporting back to you. Summary: The question is: Is it morally ok to force a person to take the promotion.
Due to govt restructures and mergers all the Berts have left and come back as consultants and getting paid better than they ever will be had they stayed! Probably a better outcome as the 'Berts' would just come in and do the actual work that the idiot staff can't do/fixed the fuckups from the idiots, and go home at the end of the day without having to deal with the politics or bureaucracy.
See to me as an American this is funny. Cuz you have to be joking to convince me my boss/someone more senior than me would get ME a coffee for working hard 😂

Bert is a great example of an old African proverb:
“The young can walk faster, but the elders know the road.”
Slide rule and the old banker's desk lamp. Bert's one in a million.
I got one of those lamps in my room at my desk. They are top class.

Obviously Bert's slide rule was more accurate than the one that Mr Wilson used to build the 100 metres track.

I'm a Bert- but after a lifetime of having been taken advantage of, I'm now pushing back against the selfish non-Berts.
I'm only a Bert to the colleagues that work hard and are kind.
No. Absolutely not how it works. You're the Bert if you're Bert. Almost no offices have a Bert. Berts are quite hard to find.
I took the original comment to be more profound. If you dont see a bert, be a bert@@twelvecatsinatrenchcoat
