Ok, I admit it.
I am not the most intelligent person in the world but I can understand the different elements of basics in survival on the job.

Follow company policies.
Easiest job in the world.
All that is required is, follow company policy which shadows client policies and supervise someone else in the production of meals.
the "someone else" does all the work, the cooking, the cleaning.
the "someone else" does anything that requires physical labor.
I love it.

What is so hard for some people (staff) in performance.
I have never seen so many different behavior problems with so few staff.
All they have to do is supervise.
Out of 16 supervisors 9 are failing to apply the basic rules of policy that are so simple to adhere to and respect.

Monthly meetings, reviewing the basic procedures to follow seems so fruitless.
Blatant disregard for policy, company and/or facility.
We provide a service at a facility so we have to honor their policies.
Right!!
There was yet another meeting yesterday with the big guy stating, "no more games, folks."
Follow policy or the undesirable thing is definitely on the horizon.
TERMINATION.

Someone told me a few months ago,that it took 21 days to establish a new habit and rid oneself of a bad habit.
When I told her she was nuts when it applied to this group of staff, she said stay on it everyday, trying to pursue an end goal of improved behavior.
Respect for the company policies and fellow staff.
So I attempted that idea.
Right
Then
It was a mutual thought that maybe someone with a softer touch, attempt this.
Right.
Then
It was a mutual thought that the head of the hierarchy, who should not have to step out on staff behavior, try his hand.
Right.
NOW it has come to this.
Due to Human Resource guidelines we have to suffer through before we can actually terminate, it still maybe a while before we can improve our staff.
Paper trails
paper trails
what happened to just, "hey, you have screwed up royally, hit the road jack"!!!

I'm done for a minute again.
it's hot here,
been working my butt off trying to finish the move upstairs.
I think I have got my breathe back.

LOL, read earlier about a creamsicle.
haven't had one in yrs.
Think I will go find some and sick them in the freezer for a treat once in awhile.

Thanks C:)

Papertrails..... that's a CYA deal for the business when it comes to unemployment payments...mostly......
Sometimes it's acutally an attempt to help someone get on the same page and it works!

Just sayin'.......
