What happened to the old staff? Just how much staff do you need?
ReplyDeleteThe more staff they have, the more patients they can keep coming back, so the more tax dollars they can get, which keeps the high paying upper (liberals) Managements salaries higher, and bonus dollars rolling in their accounts. As they continue to waste and lose our tax money!
ReplyDeleteAnd the liberals complain about Business Entrepreneurs and Owners keeping their own money that they earn from the money they personally invest in their own business's.

There must be a rampant epidemic of mental-health disease in Vermont to continually add staff? Oh wait, Burnie was just sent back to D.C. with 67%. Never mind.
ReplyDeleteYeah, 33% of this state is bat-crap crazy!
DeleteThe Mental Health Problem in this area is the SPIN of the subject matter that goes on by such a Friggen liberal state it just blows my mind! I have to play defense to not be taken down by the reverse spinning toilet water!
DeleteRoger keep your head out of the toilet! Lucky for you it is spinning in reverse else it would suck you down and spit you out into the GOP (Gobs Of Poop)
DeleteDon't read anything into the additional staff other than they just cant keep help.
ReplyDeleteGee maybe I will apply, what are the requirements?
ReplyDeleteRequirements:
ReplyDelete1. Don't like low pay.
2. Can't form or join a union.
3. Will leave for better-paying job sooner rather than later.
Requirements to be a Chuck Gregory:
ReplyDeleteDon't live in town.
Spew idiotic nonsense.
Cause numerous accidents while driving low riding clown bicycle.
Head the size of a mini cantelope!
ReplyDelete....posed beside gigantic Mount Rushmore head!
ReplyDeleteIf you want mediocre quality service for your family and loved ones, just settle for employers who don't pay well. Their hires will provide services to the best of their ability, but they will not stay around long enough to use what they've learned to the benefit of you and yours. Instead, they will acquire experience here and use their improved skills (learned on your people) to better serve the people in their next job-- one which pays higher.
ReplyDeleteChuck, for reference, exactly how much business management experience go you have?
ReplyDelete2:16, it takes exactly ZERO business management experience to understand why workers leave low-paying, crummy jobs. All it takes is having worked one. In most cases, management is usually the LAST to understand that they are the problem, if they ever do.
Delete2:16, when I moved to Springfield, I managed a service station and trained employees in basic car care, from rebuilding carburetors on up. Five years later I started the first bottle redemption business in town and managed that for two years. I had quite a bit of experience with underpaid employees. How about you, 2:16?
ReplyDeleteChuck, it sounds to me like you were the one who was underpaying them. I sincerely hope you misspoke, since if you didn't, that would make you a part of the problem. Just saying.
DeleteHave both managed and owned very successful enterprises locally and afar. Recruiting skilled, productive help has always been a challenge. Employers will go out of their way to secure them. When interviewing entry level workers is near impossible to gauge technical aptitude. Particularly problem solving skills. Critical to have accurate job descriptions and manage effectively. Requires setting milestones and conducting timely reviews. As skills grow, so does pay. If skills and productivity languish, so does pay. If an employee feels slighted, he is free to interview elsewhere. (Remember the part about employers eager to hire skilled workers?) However that option is increasingly compromised. With anti compete, and confidentiality contracts a worker can find themselves hamstrung to work in the same field. That Chuck is a far bigger issue than pay.
DeleteFake news. Chuck doesn't live Springfield.
ReplyDeleteMaybe he doesn't live in SF physically, but he does "live" the surrounding area. Far beyond your couch.
Delete653 here, ok call me a Troll. Come on I am waiting.
Delete6:32: Heh, heh, heh, heh. . . . .
