    What about a police background check as well? These young guys are sweethearts at first until they don’t get what they wanted and dictate how they will work. Learn about their past before investing in them. They say they change until they’re having a bad day.

    How negative. Give them a chance, if it doesn’t go well, just like with any other employee, you activate your disciplinary procedures. Problem is, most employers are clueless about to manage their employees.

    With you mindset, just because someone has a criminal conviction,you would prefer they never work again. Sad.

      Be good and act right and all will follow well also! You think the tourist are gonna want a theft around them while they’re on vacation???

      • Lloyd says:

        And what you think every tourist is a Saint.

    • Uh Lala says:

      My mindset?? I’ve been through this giving second and third chances all the time to these guys. Try and get them knocking at your home in the middle of the night threatening you, your wife, and kids and let me know if your not gonna dig deeper next time when your hire someone! These guys give people their puppy eyes at first and show their teeth at the end. And its over the stupidest things. So yes, I rather have a people that shows up everyday and says yes sir all the time rather than these guys that are always high as kites and giving stupid attitude when you ask them to do a simple task! Oh, just in case you throw your stupid remarks around – I’m a black Bermudian and my business is suffering drastically since PLP going in. Wake up people!

      Truth be told! There are a large number of clueless and uncertified Management and Human Resource teams island wide. Some potential employees simply don’t know how to conduct themselves and could simply use a dedicated employer that is willing to take time to assess them and provide training accordingly. Employers needs to start actually aiming higher professionally, they often discourage potential employees and are quite quick to judge, dismiss, and ill-treat staff yet still expecting a different outcome.

      Employers, everyone is different, needs to eat, has adulating to do, and are worthy of a comfortable life. Change the way you look at people and stop looking down your nose like you’re doing people a favor. Stop pointing fingers and do your business, country and residents better.
