Employees Quitting

Update. He and I both slept on it. I didn’t sleep. Up since 3am.

He said he had “too much invested” in his side hustle.

But he was honest. Didn’t steal. And looked me in the eye.

We shook hands and he left. Such is life. And biz.

I fired a guy who was handing out business cards to his side business while on my clock to my customers. His business failed and I hired him back.

He was losing his house because his wife maxed his credit cards and wasn't paying the mortgage. He told me the truth, we still talk.

He was desperate, some people suck, some are in a bad spot.

Listing to people can be worth the time. It might only be 30% of them but its worth it. My mistake is wasting a bunch of time on the ones who don't work out.

Never have a business that can't withstand the loss of a few people.


We are at a 54 year low in unemployment, if your job sucks, change it.
If you can't get people, change your company.
If you can't change your company, leave.

You sound like a good boss

Were you sleeping together?

It sounds like you’re not so bad after all. Faith in humanity is growing

well if he really needed his main hustle then he was a dumb ass

its not really a " no compete " in the usual sense which is where some one sells a business and can't be in that same business for however long was agreed

say he was fixing widgets or whatever for you in his main hustle and then fixing the same widgets in his side hustle that is a clear conflict of interest, cuz even if he wasn't directly stealing from you he was taking your business, intelectual property but obviously some people wouldn't get that as we see from the comments

so he has to choose which he did so now he will find out much fun your job is and he might come back with his hat in his hand looking for a job in a year

if he really wanted to do a side hustle ( now his main hustle ) he should have picked a different one

Your use of intellectual property when talking about Core Shot is confusing

Is there such a thing as "dumbass property"? If not... there should be.

The best you could play the cards you had and walked away with dignity. Not sleeping is a sign of caring.

That is being a boss, satisfying end to the thread.








Lock the thread before somebody fucks it up.

You rang? I am here to post in this very important thread.

You never know when you might need to partner up with a friendly competitor in your field. Always good to walk away with a handshake.

You sound like a decent human and boss to work for.

It is easy through this thread to see who is:

1. a business owner.
2. a decent level headed person.
3. Who still lives in their parents basement posting "expert" opinions about Ukraine, COVID, the US economy, and US foreign policy. This subset has also never hired or fired a human in their lives, and it shows.

Yep. He left on good terms. It’s a small world.
I’d take him back if he agreed not to compete.
That would require trust.
But he didn’t steal. He has his dream. Gotta try that before you’re too old.

I'm curious if he understood why he had to leave ?

I seen a few guys try that more or less and i don't think they made out better in the end but it was a very long way to the end and i don't know if they would have lasted

Capitalism..

When you're wealthy your business is your capital, and frees you personally of economic and physical liability... Your company profits and benefits from the capital enhanced by the worker class.

When you're poor, your body is your capital, making you personally indentured to toil for the wealthy, wearing down your body, depreciating your capital (body) in the process..

I'm pretty sure it was my mind ( scary thot huh) they were wearing down
