First Day at New Restaurant

Fired one, hired one! How productive is that? ;o)

I also have three interviews lined up for tomorrow. I have no intention of hiring any of them, but the team there are very slack at the moment with attendance & timekeeping, so I just want to get them back on their toes, and it'll do them good to see me looking for new recruits.

Staff who think they're doing me a favour by turning up, even when they're 30 minutes late, need reminding they're not indespensible methinks.

  • BTW - Have you seen the changes to the tourist visa's here. It will be much easier for you to visit the states and NYC now should you get the opportunity.

  • Rodger...
    (1) Daddy?!? I couldn't think of anything worse lol!

    (2)Haven't seen them, how've they changed?

    Mark... the problem has been a manager who's catchphrase was "Oh, fuck it" has been in charge for the last 6 months. The bad ones got away with stuff and the good ones gave up

    Nomad.... Only with certain people; the good ones are getting support and praise for the first time in ages (see above)

    Anon... I don't throw my toys out of the pram! How very very dare you! ;o)

    Buttons... firm but fair I think! See response to Nomad

    The Brick... very good luck to you!
