GOOD. i have run a small (generally noncustomer facing) business before. i have stated upfront to my new hires that they have to work their hours unless it's a life or death issue. Now let's go over the life issues: i want them clocking out at noon (if they work at all) on: their birthday, their spouse/SO's birthday, anniversarys, children's birthdays, sporting events/concerts, etc. (you gotta be there for your kids) if their favorite band is in town, the bakery down the street has the twists i like (not the ones you like, the ones I like), the dispensary has either of our favorite strains of weed, like, be reasonable to us and we'll be reasonable to you.
honestly by the time i got to the bakery (i was not into weed when i was employing people) they got my vibe well enough i didn't have problems with anyone i hired.
