My employees and my problems

Yea employees are a blast, I had a Mack gravel truck and a D4D LGP cat both working on the construction of twin golf courses.I get a telephone call one day from the super, he's asking me who do I have driving my truck when I reply Willie an he say no you don't and you get down here right now and straighten this out.

I'm living about 3 hours from the job site, at least the Super had the decency to call a day before payroll, I was heading down then ext day to collect the day slips then cut checks for my guys. Be darn if Wilie isn't driving my Mack, later that day I pay my cat operator but tell Willie he is not going to get paid until he brings the other fellow forward who has been driving my truck.

Willie runs off to find the Super who in turn finds me and demands that I cut Willie a check, I refuse telling him that after I pay the absentee driver he'll be covered by my compensation. Not good but Jim rumbles off to leave me to business.

Finally the kid shows with Willie, I get his SIN number, pay the kid and fire him and Willie both at the same time. Turns out I was over paying and that Willie could hire another driver and pay him less then pocket the rest, plus benefits.

My conflict with Jim the Super cost me an early departure for the job, those with more seniority are the last to go. If I had to do it all over again I would not change a thing.

I could have been revengeful, when Willie was working for me I sold him one of the portable Lincoln welders I had. A couple of years later I get a telephone call from a Motel in Edmonton asking if I knew a Willie Little. Curious I ask whats up, the manager tells me that the dud is standing there trying to rent a room with no money using the welder as collateral and wanted to know if I had sold it to him. Of curse I tell him yes, and that I would like to speak with Willie.

Willie is on the phone, and I tell him that is the last call he'll every make to me.

My wife and I were cleaning engine blocks for a foundry and making some decent money, we would start at 6 am and be out of there by 1:00 pm, my mother asked me to put a cousin to work the bug shows up at 10:00 am I fired him before noon.

Piston Scrap you gotta do what ever it takes, there's plenty of unemployed willing to work for a good days pay. Without prejudice if it were me I would hire and train Filipino woman
