Title: Human Catagory.
Post by: backwoodsboy on July 30, 2012, 12:42:48 AM: I dont think this has been topic , but anyways here i go. So i was thinking about the types of people that we see everyday and have to live with day to day and i thought to my self what would we do with the idiots we live with, i know this has been brought up but not its own thread. So maybe you invited a family member to your BOL or your house in shtf but you forgot about there punk son, or the "pretty boy" type.

When the goings get tough and the kid doesnt want to do anything cause hes a bum that spent his life on facebook 24/7. How do you deal with these types of people, when they may be your nephew or something like that. Telling them to work when theres already tension because of the situation could start a big fight. What would you guys do?

Also, most of the punk or similar type people I've met, tend to be fairly tough, and even hard working. Heck I work with a young guy who is in a punk band and he's a good guy, works hard.

I got 6 children over 20, they may bitch a little but they know to do what they must.

I have actually had this conversation with my brother concerning his son. His son will be 21 in October and he is the most worthless piece of ...... well you get the picture. I have tried and tried to get him interested in different things however he migrates back to that damn computer every chance he gets. Plus he wears a sholder holster! Man O' man a sholder holster!!

With that said, I will fire an employee in a heartbeat if they are causing moral to drop even if they are the best performing manager/sales person. It has been my experience that moral has gone up when the bad apple is removed from the equasion.

PS: Sorry for the spelling errors- My SP spell check isn't working.

Post by: JohnyMac on July 30, 2012, 09:09:05 PM: You are 100% correct Ken. Not only for a family member or for anybody. Things would REALLY have to be bad to do that.

Cold yes effective yes in the situation we are talking about someone that wont pull their weight can kill the group like cancer. We destroy cancer now and we should do the same in shtf. Stay Frosty!
