hiring help

[superjunior]

"Fitz" came to work for me at age 52, fourteen years ago. Just passed a month ago, shoveling snow in his driveway. At 5'5" and 150 lbs, he not only outworked many a younger BSer, he was dependable, looked out for me and my business, came in early to work to make sure all the trucks and equipment were ready for the day... Irreplaceable. At $12.00 per hour I'd give him a try.

Super Junior,

I had my doubts about Fitz when he first showed up for work way back when, but after seeing him work I knew he had the "work ethic," a quality so hard to find in younger employees these days. And he never complained about anything unless it was in jest. I'm looking at a few employees now and the top candidate is 49-years-old. Good luck in your search.

I would keep looking if you can. Old guy sounds the best but probably set in his ways. I would be curious to know why he was upset with his other company. There is nothing worse than a old cranky man pissing and moaning about how he was done wrong. One way I weeded out a lot of prospects was letting them know there will be a drug test before employment. Good luck.

he said they had some really odd ball hours, short days during the week and a really long saturdays cause that's when the guys contract climber came in. I am always suspitious though about why any good worker is looking for work

Just got a call from a climber looking for a job - meeting with him tomorrow morning!

Please GOD don't let this guy be a loser!!

I wish you luck with your climber interview, SuperJunior. I have three climbers I could hire but none has a driver's license.

Dude, $12 an hour?? I can see the crackheads getting all excited now but how can a grown man really be interested in this kind of pay?

 

[fishercat]

having the opposite problem down here.

Im interviewing employers! They all seem to be pill heads,drunks,BSers,and cant get out of bed. Seems they can only communicate by texting. Dont have the nuts to call or meet in person.

I really love this work but im starting to think the good Lord wants me out if it.

The labor pool around here sucks. SJ is on east side of Cleveland, I am on the west side. 12 an hour is low but its pretty much the way of things to start a guy. If you pay groundies much over 15 profit goes down hill fast and you will lose work or just not make enough money. I dont even have the patience or energy to describe what I am going through in the worker area. I have an old guy whos health is failing, a young guy with high potential who can climb alittle but is shaky in other ways and needs old guy to bring him to work cuz his stupid nocked up GF is so unreliable, and I got a guy who is just stuck on stupid and will have to go soon (but HE has a DL....ssooooo idk...)

Was looking at a couple of want ads that one of our largest services around here had put out a couple of weeks ago. $12 starting pay for a climber. $7-$8 an hour for a ground man, depending on experience.

 

[fishercat]

i could be persuaded........

nope, he wants you up here in Ohio

To commute for two or three days a week. If the money is right! I am not moving to Ohio. Lol

And they wonder why they cant find good help.
