PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"?? Fire them all, some, or let it pass??"

"?? Fire them all, some, or let it pass??" |
DH went in to work yesterday to find that 3 out of the 5 employees scheduled to work for him called off at 1am (within 5 minutes of one another). It was prom night and they were evidently having too good a time to get some sleep before reporting to work.One of them has called off 3 times at the last minute, in the last month. Another was just hired 2 weeks ago - and this was her second call-off (she was also late her first day at work). The third has had perfect attendance, so far. It sounded like they were passing the phone back & forth to make the calls, so they knew just how short-handed they'd be. They also had the option to request to be off ahead of time. (They've known the schedule for at least 2 weeks.) Now, this is at a restaurant on the turnpike - on a Sunday, that was also a holiday. They ended up having to "borrow" people from other facilities, and didn't have a full complement of people until 2nd shift started showing up. It inconvenienced (to put it politely) a lot of people - including the customer base (and caused DH to miss my concert - which has me PO'd). Problem is that they already needed to hire people - and they just had to fire one, had one quit, and a third broke her leg. I think the only reason the kids pulled this is because they figure they can't fire them. Doing so would be problematic for a couple weeks, until school's out - but could be managed. I say fire 'em all. Let them learn early that the business world doesn't accept that lack of consideration and work ethic. I know my company sure wouldn't put up with it. But, they're kids - graduating kids, yes - but still kids. I think company policy means #1 is gone for sure, maybe #2, as well, but #3 would be management call (it's at-will employment). What would you do?

>Chop, chop, slap, in that order.oooo...hi Cayaha, I'm Frisky, and I'm gonna like you. *spank* oops, I mean *sniffbutt* Mystie, the reason these kids do this is because people are letting them get away with it. Hubby needs to show that it isn't acceptable. #3 will straighten up after seeing him chopchop #1 and #2. And the rest of the staff will be afraid. The world is my litterbox.

You say your short staffed so:Fire #1. He is obviously useless and everyone else will resent him. Talk to #3 and keep. Keep #2, but hire some more people. Do what all evil restaurants do and start to slide #2 out, crummy shifts, split shifts, not enough hours. If she learns her lesson, fine, if not, cut down hours and push her out. You may get in trouble if you fire her for minor infractions, but you can always do the nasty crummy shifts trick. Give your other employees a raise, even a nickle a hour after they stay with no problems for 3 months. I am evil, yes I is, yes I is!

Agree with the Spidey, I do.I worked at McD's for a total of 10 years. Back then, you didn't do this kind of crap, you didn't call in unless you were on your deathbed. When I went into managment I had to deal with these types of things all the time. We could not require anyone to go to the doctor when they called in, however, Virginia is an "at-will" state so we either let them go or we cut their hours back so much that they left on their own. I remember a many day when there were just 3 of us in the store for hours, but a productive little bunch we were. Icey bounced my Dicey
