Its racist to expect people to fend for themselves.
Funny story:
Had a "kid" working for me, the past couple of months. 2 weeks ago he comes to me and says he is quitting...
"why, you are doing great at the job and you are making good money, aren't you"
"ya, the money is good, but my heart's not in it"
"So what do you want to do?"
"I want to go to school, and learn how to run a music studio"
"great, so is there any chance that you can do that and continue to work here?"
"ya, but I would have to drop down to part-time"
"that's okay, do you need the mornings, or afternoons off?"
"afternoons, if I get registered for the program"
"well, take the day off and get registered"
"thanks, I'll be here tomorrow"
shows up the next day...
"I got registered, so can I only work until noon?"
"sure, just keep up the pace, and I will make other arrangements for the other 4 hours"
and then production drops off, and off.
I hinted that he needed to speed up a bit, get back to his normal pace, 3 times. Tues, Weds and Fri.
Friday morning, I told him I needed 30 units built by noon.
He comes into the office at 10am and asks if "payday" was today or Monday. I explained that if payday (15th and 30th) falls on a weekend, I will pay on the Friday. So he says: "then I quit"
"why"
"I feel I have been getting enough done around here and then you come to me this morning and tell me to get more done"
"well, how many units did you get built in 4 hours, on both Tues and Weds?"
"4 to 5 per hour"
"how many did you get done this morning, in 1.5 hours?"
"12"
"so you built 8 per hour this morning and 4 per hour on Tues and Weds, but you are telling me that you feel you are getting enough done?
"well ya, if you average it out."
"great, here's your cheque"
