Document everything and can people who do not meet expectations.

Hard to do in a labor shortage, and high turnover is an expesnive (though sometime unavoidable) proposition.

Idk. I never changed how I worked or lied about what I could do because of the amount of money I made. If I don’t like the pay I still give you 100% but will find work for more money if I think I am worth more.

Our pay rate for maintenance is in line with the surrounding area. People claim to know things but don’t. Can’t get to work on time, call out all the time. Get mad because they haven’t gotten a raise. Stop being lazy and worthless and do something about it.

Low unemployment, high inflation, and lots of people nervous about the economy makes for a rough time finding employees. People who have jobs are nervous about swapping them because of layoffs in the news, even though it's mostly just tech sector. Couple that with inflation and you end up with people who feel like they should make a lot more, but also don't want to change jobs, so lots of people unsatisfied with what are really pretty good jobs and the few who are out there looking really want it to be worth their while.

Yeah we basically need them because we can’t find decent help.

Finding people with mechanical/technical skills (and desire to do it) is difficult. I have been approached numerous times by people trying to poach me. I like the shop I'm in and they tolerate my "quirks". The job constantly evolves and it is difficult to have someone knowledgeable in all the fields that are needed. My old boss came up one day after I was out saying "I opened up the control box and didn't even know what half the things in it were"

It used to be just mechanical/hydraulics/electrical....now it it those fields plus computers (along with building trades)

Edit: I would put up real $ I could get a job offer within one week

Yes absolutely. For the longest time my job was looking for journeymen electricians and they didn’t know why they couldn’t work on the floor as control technicians. It is constantly evolving and takes a certain skill set that is hard to find apparently.

Yes we have had 1 or 2 people that looked promising but wanted more money then we were willing to pay for them to leave current employer.

Seems like the only people who are out of work at the ones you don’t want.

And poor performance hurts outputs and efficiency. Long term outlook favors performance evaluation driven retention.

I’m saving this for my boss.

I wish we lived in the world where you could pay a premium but simply demand the best.

We instead live in the world of pay as little as possible and hope for the best.

Jay frfr how many times have you recieve $3 paypal? Im pretty sure i have around 3x.

Jay won't give me his email or I'd PayPal $3 weekly as a thank you salary for cleaning up the forums.

(and expect nudes in return)

 

[Acadia18]

If you want to buy, I'll store them for you.

This is a pretty safe bet. We know he likes sitting on parts for months, so you don't have to worry about him stealing them

I grabbed a premade rotisserie chicken, and made some buffalo chicken and chicken bacon ranch sliders.

Still living off those for lunch. Will probably be the last day.

Roast beef and cheddar sandwich. Light mayo, spinach and salt and pepper.

Had a different Publix's deli person Saturday. I asked for roast beef, she cut to some plain old Boarshead roast beef without asking a million questions.

She's allowed on my lawn.

I saved myself a new IC, bud. Never underestimate the power of procrastination.
