Friendly Advice

It has come to my attention that Judy has taken issue with some of the posts on this blog. She's even contacted the Missouri Attorney Generals office in an attempt to get some of them taken down.
Now, we take pride here in giving helpful advice to our loyal readers; so, here is my humble advice to Judy.

1. If you don't like posts about firing employees on Christmas Eve, don't fire employees on Christmas Eve. Fire them before, fire them after, it dosen't matter. That kind of publicity is never good.
2. If you don't like posts about your high turnover rate, you should really try to retain your employees. Maybe give employees more than five weeks to prove themselves before firing them. Most companies give people at least a six month trial. Constantly investing in new employees is an expensive endeavour.
3. Maybe you don't have great managing talent. That's ok, some people don't. Maybe you could try hiring a personell manager. Oh...fail.
5. Finally, if you don't want to have a huge pool of people ready to voice negative opinions of you online, you shouldn't try to lure people away from stable employment to come work for you, then fire them after five weeks. That puts a whole slew of people in a crummy mood.

So, there's my advice offered with the utmost respect.
