[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1412765, member: 9096"] I really do think that's "barista"... though it's a good laugh to start my day! I agree, hiring good people is hard to do... At my last 'real job', though I wasn't in the position where I had to make the calls, I did see every new hire and often had the joy of training them... I was able to see in about 5 minutes if they were decent or not.. mouthpieces who were all talk, the guys who'd look for your left handed hammer, the guys who wouldn't believe you when you said "left handed drill bit",.. etc We all suffer from all the same problems, and the cause is the same everywhere.. working against each other doesn't really help anyone, it just shifts the problems elsewhere. One thing I gotta wonder is how big does a company really need to be? There are some things where it's beneficial for everyone (vehicle manufacture would be one), but when it comes to other things, like farming, I start to wonder... At what point is chasing the lowest cost of production bad for us? Is it better to have 100 farms with 100 sows or 1 farm with 10,000? Perhaps using the smaller farms a strip of bacon would cost $.01 more, and in fact I do believe that everyone can actually afford that extra cent, the benefits of everyone paying the extra cent means a lot to the farmers and surrounding towns with big dividends in spinoff jobs [/QUOTE]
