BIGUN 1,488 #26 June 15, 2008 QuoteTexas is an "at will" state and I do have employee handbooks but the problem is the training. I spend thousands of dollars in training each employee. I can't just get rid of one and get another. Actually, I'm in the exact same situation and was tired of training and sending them packing, so I developed a contract within the employee handbook that expressed how much the training costs, would be deducted monthly until the debt was paid or if termination was the result of the company or the employee, it basically became a demand note and was due payable in full. It actually helped with finding those who were serious about work (they got to see it prior to employment), and tightened up those who were playing shenanigans on the job.Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

denete 3 #27 June 15, 2008 Quote There's work ethic and there's workaholism... What is this "workahol" that you speak of? I have one other thing about my work ethic that I thought I'd mention, as I've noticed that it is slipping from the mainstream workforce. I try to constantly remind myself that I don't know enough about my area of expertise. I perpetuate the idea that I'm still not good enough to sit back and cruise through my career. I'm going to go find some Father's Day Chocohol now.
