My biggest risk as an employer

[Sparky]

Is employees. Is it to much to ask that you show up on time? If your going to be late call me before 7:00 am start. Do I really want you if your going to text me "I need a personal day. I will hit it hard tomorrow". Material is going to cost what it is, but employees can make or break a project.

Sounds like a bad Monday. I hope your week gets better!

There are plenty of good people out there looking for work.

Show the slow leaks the door.

Yeah, I'd spend 20 minutes laying a guy out for the next day. Only to have him not show up.. Glad I don't have to put up with that anymore..

Although it would be nice to be working a little more than I have been recently...

[Mtn.man]

Yeah I know zactly. Can't beat em anymore.

Had 1 that called in 2 hours late because his dog was having puppies and freaked his wife out.

Seeing as how I just retired from the Army I am a stickler for showing up early.
With my new job I am unsupervised and it is all on me to show up to clock in on time.
I usually get to work 20 to 30 minutes early!
For me this is nothing new.
I never want to be rushed unless it is an actual emergency.
Im always thinking ahead for the next day and what may come up.


so if you want my resume.................

[SideShow Bob]

Hurry up, then wait. The only way to be.

[trlcavscout]

Early is the only way to go. Unless the company you work for is fucking you every chance they get, then I show up after my breakfast burrito.

I'd be surprised if you couldn't replace an employee in five minutes flat. No reason to keep employees you can't rely on when ten people are ready to take their place.

There are 2 of us in my shop that show up @ 0600 every day. We have morning IT checks that need to get done and it's the same 2 of us EVERY morning. These check cover critical items such as equipment status, online storage utilization, compressing databases, fixing hardware and software that is in a maintenance status, etc. They have to get done to ensure mission integrity.

I've got one co-worker that varies his time in by up to an hour and a half throughout the week. When the two of us who always get there early pre-announce that we'll be late the next day we would expect that the morning checks would be complete by the time we do arrive. Nope. Not even started. It's at this point that I walk away and won't touch the checklist myself. I figure if the boss want's them done, then he can start acting like a boss and insisting that everyone step up to the plate and do the work. As just another employee, I've decided not to babysit these adults and pull their weight too. I find this difficult because of my dedication to the mission, but I've finally realized that it only drags me down to do their share of the work and my assigned tasks fall behind (which I hear about from the boss!).
