Don’t shit where you sleep. Useful advice for the workplace. That’s one of the first things that I tell new managers. Don’t sleep with the help. Apparently the trainee that is finishing up his time here is dating one of my waitresses. Bad mistake.
The last time that I had a trainee that did that, he made the mistake of banging someone that had a boyfriend who also worked for me. He ended up with broken ribs as a result of that encounter.
Luckily this girl has no boyfriend, but it is against our policy to date direct line associates. He only has two days left here so I don’t guess it is going to be a big deal.
Thursday is my long meeting day, I have been at work for five hours now and have at least nine more hours. I should be a nice drooling mess by the time I get home tonight.
1. They can’t show up on time and don’t know the meaning of the word alarm clock. It just doesn’t matter to them. I have sent people home, and even fired the worst offenders, and yet I always seem to have one or two that think “on time” means dragging their asses in at the last minute, clocking in, and then spending another 20 minutes to get dressed. Come to work in uniform, clock in on your way out to the floor. It’s very simple. Just do it.
