Just after some neutral advice regarding my labourer.
First time it took someone on looking to trading them, so appreciate the experience some of you have.
Firstly, the lads on a 2 months trial.
I told him so many times this is how it will work, when he's good at 1 he moves onto 2, then 3 then so on and so on
1, learn to mix properly, learn to clean properly and learn how to set up and use the machine.
2, learn how to tape up and PVA
3, learn how to bead and prep internally and externally.
You get the picture, when he has got the basic and is good we'll look at possibly some further prepping and maybe some trowel work, I'm talking 12 months down the line here btw.
My problem is, he is s**t.
His problems are as follows.
Leaves van doors wide open (I tell him daily to close them and keep taking drills out telling him some gypsie has taken my drills)
Takes him hours to do anything
Has a bit of an attitude where he thinks he's better than he is
Cleaning is pi55 poor and I have to go around him afterwards
No pride, drive to do a good job.
I tell him to speed up and he just does a s**t job but faster
Today he has f**k*d me, so I'm gunna f**k him tomorrow, he has taken 2.5 hours to set up the machine, tripped the fuses (he has learnt this before) then dumped a bag of mono in the hopper before he has even sorted the power, also, I asked him to move the machine and like a spaz he's tried pulling it with the power cable and f**k*d the socket up on it.
Today has been wasted.
I've told him no wages today, plus he's getting docked £15 (mono) and what ever the socket costs me.
He's 24, what the f**k is wrong with these people, he just doesn't seem bothered.
The pros are, he has run the machine nicely before but I think he's getting complacent, I've paid for both of us to have training and he lives just up the road, he did seem keen and says he is, but his actions are just the opposite, every night on our way home I tell him how important it is that he does his jobs properly and quickly, just like in one ear and out the other.
He also sounds like a seal having a stroke when eating, f**k me, the noise, slap, slap
Is this a sign he is not going to turn out to be any good, should I cut my loses or do they all start out like this?
