Agla:
I hear what you are saying...In this part of the country, we have lining street corners waiting for people to hire them and go to work. Most are from Guatamla, or Mexico. Most of them know a bit about something, and at leatI can say for our guys, the one who knows a bit about ceratin things usually teachs the others thier nitche, thus, rounding the work talents.
And, you are right, no one thinks as I or for that matter anyone else does. Far as blowing a tranny, I come from the school that doing anything mechanically is far better than an accident. That being said, after tasking him out for a whole today, I came to realize that along with numerous cultural differences, and driving after an accident is almost like a superstition to those guys. It is going to be a slow road to recovery here, and I am confident that if he applies himself, he can get past this and we both can grow together.
I think the key to really being able to manage your company is also being able to see where the employees limitations are and either helping them work past that, or finding someone else who can. Pablo will be fine in time. This was just a part of the journey. A lesson learned. Along with tailgate safety meetings once a week, we need to add some drivers skills in for those who drive the vehicles.
No one hurt was the biggest blessing.
