That older operator who told me to stop leaning into the boom
I had a habit of leaning my body towards the load when I was booming up, and this guy with 30 years in walked over and told me I was fighting the machine. He said let the counterweight do its job and keep your spine straight. Has anyone else had a weird physical habit that took a senior guy to point out?

Yeah lean into your work instead, not the boom.

Wait, so the strategy is to just keep your head down and work harder while everyone else cashes in on the boom?... That sounds like a great way to miss out on whatever crazy money is flying around right now, honestly. I mean, sure, working hard is important but if the timing is right you gotta grab what you can before it vanishes again. Feels like telling someone to keep saving pennies while there's a pile of hundred dollar bills sitting on the table next to them... But hey, maybe I'm just too cynical for that kind of patience.
