Frustration!

OK, today I will rant a-bit myself. I am frustrated that my employees have no work ethic about them, granted I say "them" but I do not mean all as I do have some very good employees that care about their job. But the ones who are here just for a paycheck, always with their hand out at raise/evaluation time-but their performance is less than mediocre and could care less about the success of the business really get under my skin. I would like to fire them but the pickings are slim here in TN because as I have found in the 5 years I have lived here that the majority of Tennesseans have poor work ethic. I know that is bad to say but it is my observance. The best employees that I have and have ever had are all transplants from other states. It amazes me how people could care less about the success of the company they work for. Are they not smart enough to know that raises come from business growth and success? Do they not watch the news to see companies that are closing and/or downsizing almost on a daily basis? I try to push the "run it like it's yours" business tactic but they still don't get it, or don't care. They could care less about saving the company money by watching how they use supply consumables regardless of how often I remind them. Sometimes I feel like a babysitter, the sad part-I am the youngest body here! That's right, I have to babysit and listen to the constant whine of elder-adults. Does Cal-gon make a male formula or do I need to go to the ABC store for that, Crown Royal take me away.....lol.Until next time..keeponkeepin'on
