I’ll leave the other comments there. But if you do eventually fire this person, keep it simple. “sorry it’s just not a good fit for us.” Keep it short and don’t go into any details. Have a witness if possible and give them their final paycheck and have them sign for it. In my State if you fire them within 30 days they don’t get unemployment.

Thank you for your thoughts. I didn’t mean to disparage the younger crowd. I have a young family (but I’m old lol) and time with my young kids is paramount. I am also worried about working 60 hours a week day in and day out. I think for a short time it’s okay but eventually it will catch up with you. I think it also pushes the envelope on safety. Life is short and you have to find a good mix wherever ever that may be.

Thank you

They already work 5 days 12 hours a week. My guess is some will like 11 more weeks off a year. Personally as a family, I would do it. But I also know with inflation, everyone is hurting financially right now

I would have to bump their pay. But they would probably have to take a 10 percent pay cut to make it viable. Due to competition and the economy, giving them raises and reducing hours is not viable. I already talked to a few workers who have families and they are interested it the fact they will work 11 less weeks a year
