We're placing an order for business cards. Now that we have our own company, we can choose our own job title. It's like getting a promotion. We're moving straight to the top. Take that, boss!
As expected, we immediately encountered problems. We both want the same title -- Court Jester. Both insist on first claim.
We're going to settle this with a boxing match. Not the Chinese way of handling the disagreement, as we're too cheap to throw dishes at each other. Not the American way of handling it either, as we don't have the money to sue each other. At any rate, because of Andrew's 50 lb weight advantage, he'll have his right hand (he's right-handed) tied behind his back. Someone is going to have their ass kicked, someone will be The Court Jester.
Chinook, our dog and CEO, will officiate. Stay tuned.

I'd post DETAILED job descriptions. You're not running some start-up dotcom, where you may be able to attract good hires by empowering them.
ReplyDeleteMost people want to know in detail what's expected of them. They don't want surprises. It's your responsibility to deal with surprises, not your employees. Employees just want to feel secure and appreciated.
Sooner or later, after going through several employees, you'll find one who gradually understands the bigger picture. You'll eventually find your manager. Be patient. Keep it simple and detailed.
