Construction Work Requires Discretion
Posted by busViews on July 14, 2009
Try to think of a job that requires discretion. You probably didn’t think of a construction position. However, it is actually very important that construction workers are able to be discrete about the projects that they are working on. That’s because they sometimes build things that others don’t need to know about until the work is complete.
For example, I once knew a construction worker who was part of a team that was helping to build a new Florida drug rehab center. He let it leak that he was working on this. The problem was that the treatment center hadn’t gotten the right zoning approval yet for the type of business that they were. This created a lot of legal problems for the business. It was eventually all straightened out but the problems never would have come up if my friend had kept quiet.
Construction workers may find themselves needing to be discrete when building prisons, psychiatric facilities and other places that might frighten the neighbors in the area. This allows for the construction to go smoothly without interference from people who have concerns about the building. If they were dealing with those people, the construction process wouldn’t be so safe. So you may not think of construction as something to be discrete about but it can be depending on the project that you’re working on.
