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.
-
Hehe, what a difference two months make eh?
Glad to hear things are going well, besides that hiring problem that is.
-
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. ;)
-
I need a job; I wish I lived nearby so you could hire me. :-/
-
At least your class title isn't a sexual position. :o
-
And there are sexual class titles? :o who the heck came up with those?

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.

And the joke flew right over his head. Ahh, the virtues of youth.
-
For that matter who the heck came up with ink dryer?
-
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

42 did the servent class while Fell and EUOL did all the others.

Servant class? Is that under level twenty or something?
-
Illuminati boy: Servant of humility class or something is the proper class name. Minus the 'or something'.
And, somehow, Spriggan with the class title of 69 is highly amusing and disturbing all at the same time. D:

Out of curiosity could you tell me what there rate is approximately? I'm a temp at a company and want to be hired. I curious how much it's costing them to be a temp. Is it a percentage about what they're getting paid? Or what? and did you ask how much it'd cost if you wanted to hire them on so they wouldn't be a temp, but an actual employee?
-
The few companies I talk to all do things differently.
One charges $16/h for an employee payrate of $9/h. Another was even higher. Most have a clause that you can hire someone but I think there's a fee. I haven't really gotten into it as the prices drove me away.
-
Double prices? o_0

Well, "all" is a misleading word. We did all of the other classes, but we didn't really do "all" of the other classes.
