The slackers
Well............what I have done......
I take the slacker off to the side..........ask him "What's up?"........."I see or hear that you aren't keeping up with the other guys"................."is this true?"
I ask him..........."So, what are you going to do about it?"............."Or, how can we make this situation better?"
Most times they will say.........oh it's nothing........or they aren't feeling to good today..........
If I am hearing about it.......you know it's more than just 1 day.........and If I am seeing it..........obviously this is a problem..........Now if their response to my above questions is BS........I tell them.........As of this momment you have 2 options.
1 you can go home and go find another job
2 work with the crew, keep up and blend in.......Do your job. If not...........you're looking for another job.
If it comes back to me that it is about $..........have to evaluate the situation.........how long been with us.........what is the over all work ethic and quality.........when did the problem first become noticeable?...........very well could be that a small raise in $ is necessary.........
Under no circumstances will I tolerate a new higher a couple weeks later or a month later dictate to me the need for more $.....they were hired with an agreement as to what they would be compensated for..........I remind them of the agreed $ and leave it at that.
