Finally got a full time dooder to work for us

[Jody Treadway]

Day one, taught him how to run a forklift and the techniques for shifting an 18 speed.
Day two- he's off to Boone tomorrow on a delivery.
Retired from the state, looking for something to kill time until full retirement kicks in another 8-10 years.
Whew.
Props to @thebrotherinlaw for helping out so much lately.

Sounds like a good hire , congrats.

We are fully-ish staffed at the store , but I would love to have another retired builder or building inspector on our staff.

One of our drivers quit via text last night.

"Just so there are no surprises in the morning. I'm quitting. Not for me."

That was it. Did not respond to texts or calls after that. Wtf?

It wasn't for him. Sounds like the boss doesn't listen to his employees

That does not make sense. Once you retire you immediately begin receiving your benefits. Or is he talking about social security.

Social security and a cure for boredom.
In all seriousness, we pay very well for a not too hard at all job. It's a busy, but pretty chill job.

We had one quit to go work at a kayak manufacturer for less money and worse hours.
But he gets a discount on kayaks...

I mean… if he’s super into it why not?

True
Our position paid more and had much better hours, but wanted to immediately save $$$ on a new kayak. He got that day 1 at other place
Forest and trees and such. Ya know?

Does that surprise you…. It’s asheville where every hippy thinks you can work part time and should be able to live in the city

I do know a few “pro” kayakers both quit good jobs to become pro kayakers. So if it’s the career you wanna do it it’s a good way in

He never complained about anything

Tonya's uncle retired at 48 after 30 years w the state.Same deal just looking for something to kill the time until SS kicks in.

 

[Jody Treadway]

Don't lie...you'd love to hire your own replacement and ride bikes

Fixered.

Did he show up today? No text saying I'm going fishing?

Should have sold him a canoe starter pack......pick your species!

yup. He's on his way to Boone with a load of fire treated lumber.

 

[XJsavage]

Congrats!! Seems these days a good listener and quick learner are hard to find. We get a fair amount of bouncers come through here where I work. Some are lazy and predictable, others act like they have a point to prove. Whenever it's my turn to train one I always say: "Don't kill yourself, just take advice from the rest of us that's lived through it. We all started where you are".

 

[Jody Treadway]

Just this am I told him: "take your time, just get the order there. Be polite to the customer and come back safely"
Yes, it's that easy

He gets his pick as long as it SYP!
