First..apologies for this novel..LOL.I do hope that this makes a few people think...out loud!!
They are in a catch 22 situation on this yacht. Majority of the problem is that Lee wants them to "deal" with the problems themselves (or why does he need a Boson at all if he has to do their job himself) if I remember what he said correctly. Lee's comments to Ross and the previous Bosun put him in a situation where he feels like he can't go to talk to Lee about Rhylee without feeling like he can't handle her or do his job. Lee expects him to fix the situation but with no authority to fire her. Otherwise she would have been fired long ago.
On the other hand I can see why Lee can't give that authority due to Kate's immature leadership. (Lee could have asked more questions about what was happening and also asked him to return of there were any more issues that needed to be handled in a more serious manner giving him confidence that he could at a minimum tell her to just DO YOUR JOB while giving him the confidence that Me what his back to handle an insubordinate crew member. Now to Ms. Sore-y. She has a TERRIBLE attitude as well but it could have been nipped from the get go or at the very least made to be a civil relationship. It's just for a few weeks Jeez. Not like the crazy people every one of us on here have to deal with UNTIL THE END OF TIME it seems at our jobs. Instead of talking to the stews in a professional manner and training them when she sees there is an issue with something, she belittles them and talks about them behind their backs causing a bad situation that could be great if handled differently. It's not like they can fire everyone in a blink and have someone jump right in the boat to replace a fired stew. Why wouldn't she be nice and teach them right then as it only makes her job harder and creates havoc. She is more concerned with letting everyone else know they are unqualified (compared to her)and not as good as she thinks she is at her job.
So, with that being said, all of these comments about Ross I feel are crazy and underserved. Put yourself in a situation having to deal with... let's go on and say it...harassment and bullying. I say bullying because he can't fire her and feels like he can't go to Lee or he gets the (you can't handle your job or your employees speech) if the employee knows they can't be fired as Rhylee obviously does. What else can you do except remain professional. And he has kept his cool like no other and should be commended in my opinion.
Lee needs to listen to his bosses a little more clearly, Kate needs to grow up and Ross imo has been unbelievably professional.
I would say the REAL problem is the producers who have obviously made it a point to get people to work on that boat who are trouble makers. That makes for great T.V. but I think they are messing with people's careers. Especially Lee's career which he prob started before the producers were even born or at the least he started when they were in grade school. Really sad to see this because at the end of the day a yacht caption is a very serious job with incredible responsibilities out on the open water like that and has to answer to many people we don't even know about just to have horrible trouble maker employees planted on your hungry million dollar yacht? I mean REALLY? Is it not stressful enough just pulling in to the freaking dock?
I am a sucker for drama just like everyone else and I love the show but this season really hot me thinking about how inconsiderate everyone on that show is from the deck hands and stews to the captain all the way to off camera. This is our world today. Treat everyone like crap instead of just simply being nice to one another.
Perfect example of how much easier it is to be nice instead of being angry and mean. I mean it is easier to be nice isn't it???
