That is unless you just get off on being the one in control of the situation. Yes, in fact, I do
You didn't mention what you paid for your help but I'm guessing it must not be enough. I didnt mention it because I dont know myself, I am not in charge of it, I am an employee just like the apprentice thats put in my van with me I would assume that anybody that is getting paid halfway decent would have enough money for lunch. What world do you live in, sounds like a nice place, maybe I can go there some day So maybe you could cough up some more dough then this bum might have some money and be willing to work harder for you. The world needs nice guys, their has to be someone to take advantage of Remember, you get what you pay for.
I don't know who your helpers are, maybe the people that you have worked with have been worthless pieces of sh!t and deserved to be treated as such. One thing I do know, if I had to live with the fear of being "ejected from the van" everyday, maybe that would be for the better because I'm not going to be walking on egg shells everyday. ejection from the van only comes after the forementioned behavior, I like it to be a surprize and if he is living in fear of me, than he did something he should be fearfull of
Me personally, I have never thought the that the proper way of motivating anybody was from intimidation. All that does is p!ss of the worker(s) which is usually counter-productive and increases turnover. Consequently, this lowers productivity and this is not good for any business. true enough, and I have never been good at motivating people either, and that is why I never want the suprovisory role, but it has and will be thrust upon me and thus, I will be thrust upon them and the cycle begins again and nature moves on
Just my thought.
