i get a text this morning from my newest staff member saying her car is broke down and can't come to work

i say that i will send an uber to get her

she then says that she was actually making up an excuse to not come to work because she feels that being told how to do things by our standards is a ruin for her mental health

i say i don't employ liars

i literally have hired and fired over 120 people in the past five years

they have the qualifications, pass the training regime, then can't be held accountable for small improvements over the next month

young people cannot handle reality, they make up the craziest stories and blame everything on anyone but their own actions

i can't expand, do creative things, change or improve because i can't find anyone besides a few people who are sane to help me

I got a call from the mother of a student (28 fcking yrs old) telling me my expectations were unreasonable and he was becoming depressed and somebody needed to intervene.

at 28 years old he called his mommy to complain because he was uncomfortable

youngsters are almost universally sweet good people

but damn they soft

I can't even understand the perspective. Like are employers not supposed to hold staff accountable?

The funniest part is these people always think they are smarter than you but all of their choices would lead the business to fail in three days.

my business is much smaller than yours I think

and I spend a lot of time volunteering

but i do not employ *anyone unless ive personally vetted them for at least a year

it means we stay small.

but I prefer it that way.

When I was a manager at Uhaul I was just running an adult daycare…

It didn’t matter who I hired…

It was just a revolving door trying to find a good employee… 1 in a 100 and those hires went on to be managers…
