Grrrr...Staffing!
« on: December 01, 2005, 02:46:26 AM »
So I'm a business owner.  Bought the practice October 1st, something I never imagined myself doing given the fact I have no financial background at all.

Strangely, it seems I have a head for business...at least over the last 2 months.  I'm doing very well and the practice is growing.

I currently have 6 staff members, half of those past retirement age.  So I'm looking to put some new blood in the ranks. I've been searching for a new employee for 2 months now.

I finally had 2 great applicants.  They interviewed and it went very well.  I hired one who quit after 2 days because she got a better offer (grrrr!) and I took too much time with the other and she took a job before I could offer her one.

So I'm back at square one.

This sucks.

Thanks!

It's a small issue considering how well the transition has gone, but it doesn't mean that I need a new staff member any less.

I thought about going through a temp agency, but the rate they charge is astronomical!

If I had your class title, I'd probably be having the same problems. But with more money.

Oh, hey! A new class title.  Waddya-know.

I'm finally out of the insulting ones, I see.  Only took me 3 years or so.  ;)

Eh, you probaby wouldn't want it.  It's only part time, no benefits, and starting pay is $9/h.  I'm aiming for the 'kids-just-moved-out-time-to-rejoin-the-workforce' demographic.

Serioulsy.

Only 76 more posts, Sprig, and you can move on from your awkward . . . erm . . . title.

Was it TFO or 42 who came up with all the titles?  I can never remember.

I understood the joke, I even laughed. I just have the problem of thinking something is funny and then taking it seriously when I respond to it. I am so not lying
