If it's still watching, you musta shot him with a Glock.
I'd rather die in a BAD gunfight than a GOOD nursing home.

Ever wonder if a dead person is watching? no, but some things do make me wonder if ones life has already mapped out and we are all just going through the motions... not everyone believes seemingly odd or strange things happen by sheer coincidence. somethings seem so unusual that you seriously doubt you could just 'luck' or stumble into the sequence of linked or synchcronized events, encounters, etc.

So he was worth the raise but you let him go.............Hard to wrap my head around that one. As hard as it is to find decent employees these days I would think one would want to keep a good one when they found one.[/quote]
There are many good reasons for not promoting an employee too quickly or awarding a pay raise during probation.
Even today a dollar is a lot of money to a small buisness.
Also other employees to think about.
New employees need a serious interview at the end of probation.
This employee would be asking for another dollar in less than three months.

Hope if you take the elevator up there's something better to do than watch this asinine soap opera. I'd like to go hunting with the relative that made the fabulous shot of family stories for one. And there's always playing with the dogs.

Remember when Ed too many letters had his last get together at his place in East Texas? Remember they had a tornado blow thru the camp. I was planning to attend. But my mom passed away and her services were planned that weekend. Anyway where I usually set up my tent there behind Ed’s little cabin there on the place a big damn tree was blown over. Would have T-bone me there on my cot! Big damn tree. Always figgered maw had something to do with it. Or Gawd. PTL for answering prayers.

I know it’s a odd question but had to let a employee go the other day he kept pestering me for a dollar raise hadn’t been there 3 months I kept telling him to wait for 6 months I new he was worth the raise but he hadn’t been with me long enough to trust so discussing it with my wife when I got to bed I explained how long it took me to get to that amount and wished I could find an old check stub from that period I told her I was going to read awhile and picked up a book I hadn’t read in several years and low and behold when I opened it one of those stubs fell out that my dad had wrote who died in 2016 I own the business now and 3rd generation So he was worth the raise but you let him go.............Hard to wrap my head around that one. As hard as it is to find decent employees these days I would think one would want to keep a good one when they found one. This

Why didn’t you tell him he was deserving of the raise, but he wasn’t getting it until he was there 6 months?

When Dad died back in 2011, Mom didn't last long in the house. She just wasn't up to it. For a couple of years, we left things as they were, and then I decided it would be better for us to move into his house and let the other one sit empty. His was the better of the two, and it was going to be easier to watch if we were there. In 2013, we moved in with just our toothbrushes, and have been dribbing stuff in from the other place since.
Moving into his place was a bit weird. KYHillChick and I slept in his bed for a few weeks until we got ours moved over. Everything was just as he'd left it down to the wash in the wash basket. Right away I had things to fix around the house, and Dad was more than a little disorganized. I found myself frequently calling out in vexation things like, "Dad! Where did you leave the spare ballcocks?" A few minutes later, I'd find them in with the light switches. "Dad? Where's your extension cord?" It'd be under a pile of newspaper.
To this day, I'll find myself calling out, "Dad, I could really use some 10-penny nails." Shortly thereafter, I'll knock over a coffee can and they'll be in there.

Why didn’t you tell him he was deserving of the raise, but he wasn’t getting it until he was there 6 months? That's why I absolutely cannot work for other people. I do like to think that I have been the type boss that tries to listen and understand my employees though... I remember what it's like to ask for time off to go do something really important, only to be denied. Or listen to why an employee needed an advance or thought they needed a raise. You just never know what someone has going on at home away from work. One employee needed a raise and advance. I asked why, and was told he little sister had cancer, and he mom had to quit her job to care for her, and he had to support them one way or another...I gave him the raise and the advance with a note on the check stub he didn't have to pay it back... Just pay it forward when the time was right.

That's how a small employer should treat his employees. An employee knows when an employer cares or not and it makes a huge difference. I gave my two weeks notice to an employer one time and he told me he would beat whatever the new offer was, I asked him why he hadn't made that offer to me 2 years ago...........He didn't have an answer. I told him it was to late as I already gave my word to my new employer and wouldn't go back on it. A good employer keeps good employees, a cheap employer does not, he keeps mediocre employees. If an employee is worth keeping pay him or her if they're not worth paying get rid of them and find ones that are.

Anybody that asks for raise after 3 months is a douche and not going to be a good employee down the road at least 80% of the time.

Yeah.....that's clearly what we were all thinking.
