[QUOTE="J and L, post: 186812, member: 3494"] Milkmaid, welcome to our discusion! you are correct, this is an intersting one that has brought back many thoughts about our past managment sucsesses and failures. Barron Co, What did your boss do prior to 2002? I ask this because I know how many basic mistakes we made with human resources in the beginning. I know that we lost some good people at the hands of other employees, and some because of things that we did or did`t do. I don`t want to just say tolerate things, I don`t know enough about your situation to really give much advice. Your quote about controling your response is a good one. Linda uses that all the time when our kids get bent out of shape with each other (usually involves daughter). This good attitude on you part (that integrity again) will keep you there long enough to see if chages are being made. On the family work issue. It is a great thing in many ways, as Linda mentioned, However it was frustating for those who had no stake in it and ourselves at times. This opportunity really has not presented itself lately but our policy would most likely be the same. I think that these frustations led to our policy to not hire teens part time and look for full time adults. At this time we do not impose time limits on milkers, although we are very much aware that some are faster than others. My opinion would be that a lot would have to happen before I would pay for less time than they work. I think maybe even termination? It is not fair to just not pay them. Once hired, we trust that time is being used wisely until proven otherwise. It is ,today, rare for us to advertise for a job spot. Most of our people come by word mouth. We will conduct a formal interview with the applicant after checking references and if we see no huge red flags we will turn them over to the heardsperson for a chat and look around. We view hireing as a two way street of sorts and this is their chance to see what really goes on here. It would be a waste of time to hire someone who quickly realized that it wasn`t for them. After that we will go with heardsmans decision 100%. We do have a probation period before permanant hire. After that 2 weeks to a month working closely with Heardsperson and experienced milkers. Our heardsperson is very cautious. Must work now, Jerry [/QUOTE]
