The thing is though you can't just go sour on "people" as I know how easy that is to do. If you don't keep striving to find better employees, you will be stuck in a rut (grow or die!). Without being able to delegate some of our workload, something is going to give! I would't trade any of my employees for ANY others...and this came about after MANY losers/duds/thiefs etc. Get rid of the trash and find new blood. |

Thats good advice Fred. Makes me think I need to move forward on some less than perfect people that work for me. |

It isn't the people you fire that make your life miserable, it's the people you don't. |

This is exactly why I work for myself and have NO employees. If something gets •••••• up I know exactly who did it and I know that I will show up for work and do my best every day. |

Unfortunately, this is the type of work I seem to get when I hire people. The last 'handyperson' I hired, didn't know what a shower-pan or a basin wrench was. That's why I have had to do all the work myself. Ugh.......... |

God I hate crappy employees! I have a property maint company..basically a handyman type deal. I sent this clown on 3 jobs and he couldn't complete any of them.
1) hang a candleabra above a fireplace. I have to go fix his crappy work today after I work all day!
2)regrout a shower. couldn't do it and he had the wrong grout so told the lady see ya.
3) repair/replace a shutter. no deal.
The crappy part is I gotta call these folks and smooth it over. |
