I can't find young people to do chores. The last time I hired some, I checked on them after 15 minutes and they were sitting down. I asked what they were doing, and they said "taking a break". After 15 minutes??? WTF. I fired them on the spot.

You are lucky they waited 15 minutes to take a break.

I hired the son of a friend of mine to do some grunt work in my attic. Stapling up soffit baffles. It took him four hours to do about five baffles. I fired him and hired his brother who did the other fifty baffles in about 8 hours. His brother is a seriously good worker.

Hubby felt sorry for one of the employees because her husband left her and she said the kids were hungry. She was asking around to mow yards. First day, she lasted five minutes and left. A couple days later she said she’d finish but lasted another five minutes. Hmm, I can see why her husband dumped her and why kids don’t take on summer or after school jobs.
