I had a business to run. I found that more got done with fewer employees. When there were to many employees they would sit around waiting for the other person to get done what needed to be done. Then they argued about whose turn it was to take care of certain tasks, etc., and who to blame for things not getting done. I also watched for the 'weakest link' and corrected those situations. Retired now, such headaches are gone. lol
It was honestly like running a crèche, Monday morning excuses why they can’t come to work. The only thing that is certain, they’d all be there on a Friday with the paw out.
so true! I had a plumber working on the plumbing for a home I had built (during covid, what a pain in the ass). Plumber was older and did the work himself. He said he used to have a staff of about 20 plumbers working for him with all the headaches. Says he got rid of everyone and does it himself, less headaches and makes more $$.

Same, went from 10+ employees to 2. Much better.

Exactly. Less mouths to feed.
