If you have employees, you have employee headaches. If you don't have employees, you probably get a headache thinking about it. Or worse: You have committed yourself to "never having employees".
After all, you can't find anyone who is honest, that will work hard, show up on time, is self motivating, self starting, willing to help you, willing to help their co- worker, willing to serve the customer to the utmost, doesn't steal, and doesn't want to get paid an arm and a leg, right?
What if I told you that the problem doesn't have ANYTHING to do with employees at all? That the problem is YOU. That YOU hired the wrong person. That YOU let that person get away with murder. That YOU set them up to fail. That YOU put them in a system where the only way to get ahead is to work less and ask for more. WHAT? You say. How can that be?
Let me ask you a few questions: Did you give them a job description? Probably not. Do you have a Mission Statement that is lived out by you and that is communicated and printed - one they have learned to live by? Probably not. Are there written policies and procedures? Probably not. Is your leadership such that inspires and is positive, or do you let things build up and then blow a gasket. When the guy messed up, did you have a step-by-step disciplinary system in place to correct his path? Probably not. Have you kept someone around too long because otherwise you would have been "short handed" if you let him go? Probably. Do you have a compensation program that promotes productivity and discourages low production? Maybe, but probably not.
we can cut and paste all day just like Kenny

A guy in my town claimed it would end the last hour of the last day of 2002. It did, for him. Rest in peace.

Try the homeless shelter. That's where the top caliber employees hang out
