Well said.As a manager (I assume), it is up to you to make your employees adhere sufficiently to store and company policy. That is what management is all about.
Any idiot can hire people and just hope for the best and bitch.
The real skill is in evaluating qualified applicants BEFORE you hire them, then manage them as needed to useful productivity making sure they MEET STANDARDS.
The fault is not theirs, but rest with you in both hiring them, then continually failing your management duties to properly TRAIN them while allowing them to walk all over you.
If I was your regional director, I'd wonder why you have this constant flux of unsatisfactory people through your doors.
You really should just STFU, and pull it together and man up, or, sell the place and go out and get a job working for someone else. Maybe they will teach you how to run a place and manage people.
I have been in hiring positions since the late 1980s.
Hiring is a learned skill with a mixture of good instincts.
In interviews I don't ask a lot about their experience etc. I ask questions like "what is your ideal workplace" and "what kind of people do you like to work around". Anyone can exaggerate their experiences, and a lot of folks interview better than they work... but I have found questions like this are hard to fake.
Hiring sucks. It is hard to find good people. Nothing else can make a difference one way or another more than hiring.
Having said that, I have had the benefit of hiring well paid, full time staff. Hiring part-time, low paid, low skilled staff must be 10 times harder.
