It's not suitable for all businesses, of course, but having flexible

schedule, and may not be able to make it in by 8 AM, but they'll
put in ten hours once they get here.
Not this guy. He always made sure he was out the door at 4:00. No

I feel for you Eric! In the Cleveland inner city, my track record is a
dismal 1 in 10 for keeping employees. The work ethic today has forced me to
close my entire wood shop, except for one shaper, and outsource all my other
blocks. The more I paid in wages, the sooner their "comfort level" was
reached and the more time they missed. I'm just too old to fight it anymore
I admire your whole philosophy to clone some knowledge. If you learn some
more tricks to handle tardy and absent employees...PLEASE let me know!
