To say that we've had a string of bad luck lately with employees is kind of an understatement. In the past six months we've hired and lost six people. Out of a crew of 18 or so people. Honestly only one was really a loss. Only one out of I'm going to say 10 who were hired has stayed on so far. There were a few in there that got hired but for whatever reason never actually worked any days.
I stopped by my store today to get some stuff (check my schedule ) and found out that one girl NCNS and another one called in "sick". No loss on either one of these but it's just a pain because we go through the effort of trainining people and they fuck up.
In all my time there, over 10 years, I really don't remember it ever being this bad with getting people. And to make it worse we're losing two good people. One within the next few weeks and one within the next few months. If the job search gods look down upon me favoribly I'd like to be out of there too.
I know we have some epic stories already on here about "quality" employees but is anybody else finding that it's hard lately to find people to work for barely minimum wage retail jobs?
