I've always felt, and my military service backs this up much the same as already said, that your performance as a leader is the number one effect on your employees. I work my arse off every day as an example to my son and to the part timers. The guys I have now that I've kept around know that as I grow the company they have a very good chance of going full time with me. I am trying very hard for that reason, because I get so much more enjoyment in my labors when the people around me benefit from it and can appreciate the work for what it is. That's my ethic and my integrity.
To heck with those who can't keep up, McDonalds is always hiring. This thread shows me that ideals and similar ethics come from the cream of the crop from ALL walks of life and from ALL ages. Yes I agree the elder generations tend to have a methodical ethic thats perfect for the e waste business but in my case I need the naturally informed person who grew up around computers and can recognize the parts for what they are, able to cull the stuff marked for reuse. Every day is a struggle, when it's not I didn't try hard enough that day.
