Yep.

It sucks because at times you would like to be able to help your friends, or family when the situation's dire. But at the same time you have a business to run. When they are not getting their shit done, and asking if they can 'run down to the store for a minute', and it's been 2 hours. Or they are leaving early because, 'they have something to do'.

I do not give a flying fuck if you are getting you work done. But if you are getting further behind every day, and you are wanting the bonuses like you are a top performer then I do have an issue.

Being a friend, or family member will give you an extra week maybe. But you will still get fired. My business will take the priority. I am not paying you to go fuck off fishing, or getting your drink on when you are behind.

What is more insulting is when they ask for 'advances' and are behind. My first response is, "You're fucking kidding me right"?
