Reply to "letter from "the boss""

Will,

You hit it on the head Bro !!! Not me .. I dont mix business with pleasure ... maybe the construction industry is different .. I agree you dont have to talk down to employees .. but you cannot be too nice .. you will surely get taken advantage of. I have been there done that and it dont work.

I have caught employees doing every thing from side jobs with co vehicles on co time, to dialing 900 numbers, stealing tools & materials, abusing credit cards, punching other peoples time cards, leaving early, hour coffe breaks, taking money on the side etc.

Fired all 60 of them, cleaned house restructured and now I do 1/2 the volume and tripled the profits .. I have the same 20 employees for the past 7 years .. and now I can take care of the good, valuable, loyal hardworking poeple who now work for me. But it 15 years to get it this way.

David ..god bless you ... if it works stay with it .. but your generousity is one in a million. Why because there some things you cannot change ..its human nature.
