This is the problem right here. Perfect example of the Ego in construction. Just because someone is different than you and your view you don’t want them. It’s called leadership if you cannot create a welcoming environment to all. Are you really a leader? It’s called Coaching, mentoring, leading. No one knows the right way to work…. TEACH THEM. And if this is your view, don’t complain when you don’t have enough employees to deliver goods.

When I worked at Southern Detailing Company many years ago, I was tasked with the initial training of new hires. One of the first things I told them is "You better have thick skin if you're gonna survive around here". It was somewhat of a joke but also the truth. Our fellow detailers were brutal picking on the FNG (new guy). All in fun. The boss was tough as he demanded excellence every day. At the end of the day, we all became good detailers.

You absolutely can’t treat people in the fashion described in the video any more . By Law in Australia , name calling your employees is OUT ! When it comes to dealing with your employees , you must follow the rules of Fair Work Australia . All of you guys must do some study around the laws and rules and regulations pertaining to employer / employee conduct as I have done recently and fully understand these new issues . I’ve tried to explain this to many employers lately and they just can’t seem to grasp the fact that all employees have to be spoken to and treated extremely fairly now , with no exception ! Outwardly Discrimininating against people and /or singling them out in the workplace and giving them a hard time for any real reason other than consistent poor work performance overall is out ! These newer rules governing employment are not my laws , they are Federal Award laws of the country of Australia . The penalties for breaching these laws are serious , it is irrelevant whether you agree with these laws or not . If you breach them and you are proven to be in the wrong as an employer , the fines from Fair Work ( the regulatory body ) can be enormous . It’s not my doing , I’ve just happened to have discovered these things .

I 100% agree and this goes across all industries. It’s absolutely OK to come to your manager with a problem, after you already have a few potential solutions, but don’t just come to your manager with every little thing you don’t like Buck up buttercup! On the flipside, it’s important as managers and leaders not to solve the problem for your employees, but rather to ask questions to get them to think about how they might be able to solve that problem in the future, let them come up with a solution, but lead them to it if they’re not capable of it at this time in their career.

When you hire people in the DEI range. It is not to hard to figure out why production is so bad. That goes with management too. Raise the bar to get more production, not lower it. But when you start putting “I” in team, it’s not really a team. When you look at the labor field as lower class or inferior to management, then hopefully you’ll understand why production is hitting rock bottom.

I was just having this conversation with my soon to graduate college son. No one needs another problem - they want solutions creators.

This is the story of my past 30 years in the AEC CAD industry. Always called in AFTER the CAD Chaos is fully on it way to obvlion and just expected to push the magic ENTER button and make all their foolish woes go away. Saved many a billion dollar project, need been acknowledged for it.

Hire people on a trial 90 days, 60 days, etc , with a 2 way understanding if they don't like the job in that time frame they can quit no hard feelings and if you feel they aren't cut out for the job you have the right to ask them to go elsewhere.

Don’t get me started. So far it’s been a great Friday.

Eddie C. why do you have to talk about me publicly like that. ??
