[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 2099354, member: 711"] My oil change guy hired a new mechanic/oil changer a while back. Nice seeming, knowledgable, fast, thorough, 'bout everything you'd want in that job. Come my next visit to the shop, he's no longer employed. "What happened?" "Wanted to work two or three days a week, would just not show up, and didn't believe it when he was told he's expected to be here every day." I see this and similar behavior all over the place. Some of it is drugs, some is alcohol, some is just no real personal values when it comes to work, and a lot is what some friends of mine used to call "The Thing That Wouldn't Leave." 25 year old son who they couldn't get to move out. He would work just enough to meet his moderate personal needs. He had no expensive habits. Happy ending was that he met a woman, fell in love, and listened when she said he had to get it together. He is doing well, and griping about unreliable employees. [/QUOTE]
