I have two guys who work in the machine shop here, an older black

who knows everything possible about machining and a younger guy

sorta gets by. They work well together and are friends. We were
talking about where to go for lunch and the young guy asked 'Wanna
go
get Chinese food", "No, we did that last week". Then he asks,
"How
about some N*gg*r food". Total silence as the rest of us were
shocked. Then he says "Oh, never mind".
What should I do?


No offense but consider this...........


You are asking for opinions about how you treat your employees and
run
your company from a bunch of folks you have never met, know nothing
about and at a boating NG.


Wow.


You are severely underestimating the capabilities of this group.
We're a bunch of regular guys, and gave him good advice.
Maybe he should hire a labor relations consulting firm for the
answer?
Hire a lawyer?
No. He caught us sober, and it paid off for him.
Boaters give good advice, because they're good folks.
So there.

It's okay, Jim, I think he meant BESIDES you and your lover/clone
Harry.


I desperately need a newer truck. My old Nissan with 315,000 miles is
far beyond dead and has now achieved automotive zombie status. She
has no clutch anymore and nothing on her works. However, I always
tell myself, ok, just another couple months. I have not had car
payments in 20 yrs and loathe the idea. Then there is the down
payment which I dont have right now. I wont do payments over $300/
month or for more then 4 yrs so I need a big downpayment. Then there
is insurance on a new vehicle...........OK, I just talked myself into
keeping the zombie for another 6 months.


Look at Craigs list and salvage titles.
