  • Max's heavy French accent and lack of work ethic have caused difficulties on the yacht and led to complaints from his boss and fellow deckhand Lara.
  • Lara's strong work ethic has made her a standout star, potentially leading to a promotion and Max's potential firing if he doesn't improve.

Max Salvador's nonchalant attitude towards his task might lead to his exit from Lara Du Preez. However, things haven't gone well for Max since he made his debut.

Max's heavy French accent has made it very difficult for him to communicate with the crew. Even Max's boss, Bosun Luka Brunton, has also complained about not understanding him. However, besides the accent, Max's realization of the amount of work required on the Mystique has also exposed his lack of work ethic. The Frenchman who confessed he had been fired from most of his jobs since 18 might soon be staring down another sacking.

Lara Called Max Lazy

Besides Max's inability to communicate with his fellow deck effectively, the Frenchman has also been struggling to deal with the pace of the work required on the yacht. His desire to do the least amount of work has been noticed by fellow deckhand Lara, who called him out for being lazy during the latest Below Deck Med season 8 episode. As the crew prepared to set up an exclusive lunch for the guests at Santa Margherita Ligure Castle, Max complained about being tired. Lara wasn't having any of his excuses, and she chided him, saying, "We don't have time to f*cking sit around and w*nk," per Yahoo!

In contrast to Max, Lara's work ethic has made her a standout star of the show. Bosun Luka, who has been impressed with Lara, is also considering making her the lead deckhand. If or when Lara eventually gets promoted, it might mean the end of Max's stint on Below Deck Med season 8 if his work ethic doesn't change as the season progresses.

Although Max's task was to help Haleigh properly dock the yacht, he struggled to understand what to do with the ropes, and his sluggishness in getting the lines together irked Haleigh, who told him to "shut up" as she tried to sort the docking out. Trust and dependence are features that make the team deck team effective, and the reluctance of the crew to work with Max might lead to his firing.
