In the last month we've had 1 employee quit, 1 get fired and 1 given the choice to quit or get fired.

The one who quit wanted more money because she's been with us the longest and she deserved it. All she did was watch one of our recycle sites to make sure no one dumped garbage. I drove all the trucks, helped pick up all the materials. I did 3/4 of the work when I was onsite anyway, there was no way I was giving her a raise.

The one who was given the choice, told us he couldn't wear a hardhat. We've gone through the appropriate employment standard protcols except we gave him the choice of our slack recycle job or be fired. He still hasn't given me the option. I've now given him til Friday at noon or I will fire him.

The one who got fired was our newest hire. She complained about aboslutely everything. She hated the heat and expected me to bring her cold water everyday and that I was required to give her an air conditioner (i don't have to. The day she bitched it was (90F out, I worked 12 hours in concrete trucks that don't have air conditioning and Jim was welding). She then asked to leave early on Saturday because no one was there and threw me attitude when I told her no. She was told at the end of her shift she was to hand in her keys. I gave her a $200 cash advance (because of our payroll system, I was being nice) and then I found out Jim filled her truck full of fuel. I damn well hope her pay cheque is enough to cover it.

You think it would be easy to find good help.
But there are so many dumb people out there.
