Greg,
first decide who is salvageable and who is not. Some are easily led by bad example and can be led by good example. Second put an add fro their jobs in one or more local papers. specify multiple openings. You are going to need at least one certified A&P per shift and at least one or more IA on staff. Some will read the paper and get the hint. they should be the top of the second wave of firings. anyone who is left should fired on the spot they ae just sucking the company dry. You should have a manager for the shop. if you do advertise there job too and firing them immediately. Any of this other stuff they are doing should be done on lunch or after hours.

I'm wondering how more professional shops manage the time of the employees, measuring their productivity and controlling costs.

Greg,
Why make someone else's sloth or incompetence your problem? Vote with your feet. After enough people cast their "ballots", management will get the picture or natural selection will run its course. Life is too short to tolerate this kind of nonsense. Good luck. Paul Michelle P wrote in message ink.net... Greg, first decide who is salvageable and who is not.

specify multiple openings. Wow, you're tough. :-) You should have a manager for the shop. Yes. The chief mechanic IS the manager, which may be poor policy. Sort of like letting the inmates run the prison. Thanks for your comments. |

The feet have no place to go. ;-) The lack of competition is why this sort of performance continues. |
