Employment atrocities, on either side of the employee/employer line, will happen no matter what the legislation. The one thing that entrepreneurs are excellent at is spotting potential and when you start someone new, you very quickly know who will respond to training and who will not. I personally believe employees should be employed by employees and then they can abuse each other to death as neither is accountable. At the moment the self employed carrying poorly performing employees are sitting ducks.The Incomerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03538922995136902560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742385127651266632.post-40675348197922674632012-07-19T14:47:32.370+01:002012-07-19T14:47:32.370+01:00I suppose the thing is that in the past workers ha...I suppose the thing is that in the past workers had little or no rights and their employment was at the whims and prejudices of their boss. You now seem to be saying that legislation may have gone too far the other way in favour of workers, at the expense of the boss's judgement and business. Would you prefer to return to the days of 'If I don't like you, you're fired' approach to the workforce?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742385127651266632.post-21314108158598073342012-06-10T18:57:09.618+01:002012-06-10T18:57:09.618+01:00Anonymous, I don't believe Craig is saying tha...Anonymous, I don't believe Craig is saying that at all, unless of course i have missed something.<br /><br />There are plenty of problems facing entrepreneurs, some are the same as the problems facing massive organisations, charities and the public sector. The problem that Craig describes applies to all so isn't exclusive territory for entrepreneurs or small businesses.<br /><br />Ive been there myself; and it slows the business down and you know you are on a downward spiral that won't come back whatever you or the employee does. Its not a good situation for the employee either but there is a belief, especially in the profitable employment legislation business, that you must flog a dead horse until you are either whiter than white or your employee leaves or takes out a grievance. The latter usually applies and it's ridiculous. I believe that is what Craig is talking about.<br /><br />Also Craig doesn't mind sticking his name on his posts.
