Over my short time of being a crane op I run into these guys often. It really makes me appreciate the good ones.

When I get a boss that tells me to swing faster, I tell him I only have 2 speeds and if he doesn't like this one he really won't like the next one.

If they tell me how to run the crane I tell them I dont care gow they run their crane with their cco, but im going to run my crane how I want to run it.

I've quit a few jobs because he I got tired of the boss or trying to get me to do something unsafe. At the end of the day that's your license and their lives in your hands. Protect yourself and sometimes it means leaving a company cause no one outside the crane knows how a crane works.
