Work Wasters

Gave him loads of money and a good reference though.

They're hard working, self-motivated (although I do a fair bit of motivating just in case) loyal and trustworthy.
The effort that goes into recruiting the right people in the first place pays off big time.

Unbeknown to Jason he is spending his last lunchtime at Whittam International plc.

He's the laziest bugger I have ever met. Always late but makes sure he leaves dead on 5pm. Always finding an excuse not to work, always off sick, always coughing and on occasions, sobbing.

He's had a verbal and a written warning and now it's time for him to move on. I know he's going to cry.

Are there any wasters at your place of employment, or anybody you remember from your past?

And you think that somebody as important as N would know what you state? Thought marketing was about recognising a good product?

I know about hiring the right people, I can't help people I inherited though can I.

I wasn't 'Preston Businesswoman of the Year' two years running because I can't identify good personnel.
