The value of older workers are so nicely represented here.

“Where you going?”
“To get HIM a cup of tea.”

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.

"He called me 'luv'!"
"D'you want me to file a report with HR?"

If you ever have a Bert in your office, don't make the mistake of "efficiency gaining" his position!

Slide rule and the old banker's desk lamp. Bert's one in a million.

Love the turn-around at the end of Tony being the one to get Bert a tea.

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. 🙁

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 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 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.
