I have figured out work and work related stress. It is closely related to spring cleaning, except it deals with people. Just stay with me here. So during the fall and winter you usually start to collect a lot of stuff around the house/apartment and then you get the urge to just take it all out to the trash or recycle it or give it away to a goodwill type store. Fair enough. I have to do the same thing, but with employees.
They work well for me for about three months or so, but eventually give out and have to be taken out (but unfortunately, I can't take em out back and beat them) and need to start all over. I have four people working for me right now. One is going to be moving over to the bakery to be the daily baker, fair enough. The only bad part is that he is the only one who is worth a damn. One just started two weeks ago, is still in high school, and can only work about twenty hours. Its okay, he'll last for a while, but he is going to be going to college at either K State or KU...sucky. One guy works two days a week. He is involved in lots at his school what with sports and what not. Then there is the one on the bottom rung. He is like the fourth string quaterback. You need to keep him around just because he fills out the roster and he could be useful...one day. I don't know what day that will be, but he will be useful some time. I really need to let him go, but I would just be shorting myself, and I can't afford to do that.
Just need to find someone worth keeping around. And someone who wants to stay around and doesn't mind working. What a rare breed that is.
