I don't hire mudlanders bcos they are snakes...n often turn up late n go home early due to causeway issues. I still hire local bcos they deserve the chance. Just on strict terms...n I am automating my company as best as I can so the human element is minimised. It also helps my employees as they can work from home etc. Actually I am now promoting a 4 day work week as in the 5th day is work from home day..n I scheduled meetings n important stuff on Wednesday, so all stuff come in. On Friday it's a skeleton crew (on rotation) . I discovered that it minimises MCs etc. N I build the MCs into annual leave. So no use it or loose it BS. N productivity has actually risen but the m&ds don't like it as they have one less excuse to sky. So m&ds are eliminated through attrition. N of course the whole plan gets thrown out the window when a preggie comes into play
