HR wants you to spot the differences between these pictures.
I believe that anyone who puts an industrial-scale ice machine (which makes waste heat) in a tiny "water room" with mediocre ventilation (where heat collects and, besides being hot, makes the machine work worse) deserves anything any HVAC tech says to them.
We don't have a training program. You just... Get on a crew, and start. Everyone teaches. We have language barriers all over, a dude or two with cognitive trouble, and at least one guy who I'm pretty sure is typically high as fuuuuuuuuuuck.

They learn that the individual tasks are a *little* trickier than they thought (though not much), that there are hundreds of different tasks, and that skill is in chaining them together well.

It's usual for newbies to get in their own way in ways as simple as putting chairs at a table they'll need to walk past to put chairs elsewhere, and now they need to go around, to double the work needed for a job, or miss steps.

But it's not daunting to learn the job if you stay in the moment, because each task is simple, and you can still usually muddle through if you fuck up your order.

When new people (temps, transfers, new hires, etc) arrive at my day work (furniture setup and teardown for conferences), they usually assume that because they can see that because individual tasks are simple, the job is simple.
And then!

It works *remarkably* well, though of course it takes time.
But anyway: That, right there, is my standing model for teaching MOST things. Atomize it into simple tasks, teach the tasks simply, teach how to chain them together, refine as you go.
