Reliability Isn’t Optional– It’s the Standard
Why reliability matters When someone doesn’t show up, they’re not just failing to submit a report, they’re letting down clients, teammates, and the standards we’ve all agreed to uphold. Reliability is the bare minimum. Even McDonald’s doesn’t need to say that if you don’t show up for five days straight, you’re no longer on the team. You didn’t get fired, …

Why We Sometimes Have to Let People Go
I hate firing people. If you’ve worked with me, you know I’d much rather help someone level up, invest in training them, and give second and even third chances. I’ve personally spent hours doing someone’s work for them to show what “done right” looks like, and recorded step-by-step tutorials so they can learn. But sometimes, it’s about reliability. If someone …
