Just to set the record straight. This was not a great employee. There were 19 notations on her file in the past 6 months. They mostly pertained to switching shifts, being late or missing shifts for various reasons. A couple were about lack of attention to the job and at least one about totally...

Problem Solved! She came in and gave notice tonight. I told her she did not need to give me notice she could just go home.

The same employee called in sick today. I have my staff on a fixed schedule so they can know every week when they work. She also asked to book one of her shifts off so she can get her nails done for grad. She works 3 short 3 hour shifts and 1 longer shift a week. :evil:

On Thursday night a 2 minutes to close one of my staff 's mother came in and said, “I am going to steal my daughter tomorrow until about 7:30.” The daughters shift is 4:00 to close (11:30 ish). I just looked at her and said “Do you understand Friday from 4:00 to 8:00 are the busiest four hours...

[email protected] Your sudden silence after 2 posts leads me to believe I hit the nail on the head with regards to your true intentions of posting here.

Maybe I am over suspicious but I smell a bait and switch here.

To PPG2270 You have now told 2 long term people on this board they should not comment because they are not directly impacted by this topic. What gives you the right to comment here when you are also exempt from any the discussion at hand? You can not have it both ways. You are not a driver in...

PPG2270: What does it have to do with you? You claim you are no longer in the industry. Using your logic you should not be commenting as it clearly has nothing to do with you either. I commented to interject some REALITY into the conversation. I used figures provided to the general public by a...

PPG2270: WRONG!!! My employees ALL make at least $2 OVER minimum wage. My drivers use MY vehicles. Good staff are rewarded for their efforts whiners are down the road FAST. AND I charge $13.99 for a 14" basic cheese pizza.

There is no connection. You are preaching to the wrong crowd. Take your whining to the government if you don’t agree with tip credit.

PPG227O: BOY ARE YOU BARKING YO THE WRONG TREE! According to PMQ’s 2011 Industry Census 84.1% here are Independent Operators. Not really you target market are we?

PPG2270: So you are taking our your frustrations with that one store (25% of your industry experience) on all of the members of Think Tank. The place you should be lobbying is not the pizza industry, it should be your state government. After all they are the ones who passed the laws that allow...

Regarding the IRS mileage, $.51/mile is the recommended rate for business purposes. Although there is no law enforcing it, that is what they consider “fair.” If you want to argue the IRS, take it up with them. Until then, it is up to each individual driver whether or not they choose to accept...

You think?

I was pleased when I opened the La Trattoria news letter from Stanislaus Food Products and saw Daddio and Nick both are in the Business Builders Section. Daddio’s use of local meat and Nick’s collection of menus are two ideas that make these guys stand out from the crowd. Congratulations to...

gregster: Just to make things clear for you gregster I will tell you what taxes and wage regulations that I am refering to here. Payroll taxes are not just deducted from an employees check. The employer is also required to pay additional amounts to the government. Employment insurance is a good...

gregster: gregster posted Dec 06 2008: Is this not exactly what D-no is saying? Gross income minus expenses yeilds net income. Yet you say he is wrong. However your quote says he is right. You cant have it both ways. Which is it, Oh Mighty Guru of the IRS and DOL?

gregster: Been There Done That. You just don’t get it! You are taking many things way out of context and many things you are pontificating on are so far beyond your expertise that you have made yourself the laughing stock of the Think Tank.

SLAP!!!

I have only been in the industry for a short five years. So take what I am about to say for what it is worth. When I start to think I am burning out I look at a chart that I copied from Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. There are four quadrents to the chart they are labeled Urgent &...
