I had a guy work for me for 3 and 1/2 weeks. This past week I only needed him 2 days but I knew it would be 2 12-13 hr days. After the first day of his week ( 14 hr day and 3 hrs of it was driving) he got back to the shop and quit. Said I worked him to hard. I pretty much called him a p word without actually saying it. His duties were to water plants and share the duty of rinsing houses with the other ground guy. Funny part is the kid is only 25 yrs old. This is why people hire Mexicans over Americans for work. What a disgrace. I personally have been working since the age of 12. I always held 1-2 jobs at a time until I started my own business. I always felt lucky to have a job and would work as many hours as they would give me.
It's very hard to find good help and when you do treat them right with pay and make sure they know how valuable they are. I always tell my main guys when they do good and when they screw up we use it as a lesson on what not to do.
