An Employee stole from me!

6:35 mark starts the call to the employee to confront the situation.
An employee has been dishonest through his services and didn't install all of the parts I had ordered for a customer. Instead, he replaced one part and kept the rest for himself. Unbelieveable at this stage of building my company. What a hard realilty to come to.

your an honest DUDE Jesse!!! your about the only person that i have seen on the internet doing this kinda of work with INTEGRITY 😀😀😀God Bless you and your business.

Be strait up about your expectations. I always tell my techs "Do what you're paid to do. If there is a call back its all on your dime and I WILL follow up to assure the job was done correctly."

Jesse, I’ve been a manager for a long time. You handled it extremely well. Put the anger and disappointment aside and let him show himself. Unfortunately brother it will happen again. You learn from it and move on. Outstanding video btw, putting yourself out there like that takes courage, you did a good job. Be proud of yourself and move onward and upward!

I wasn't going to put something personal like that on my channel, but I got to thinking, I said I would document my journey and that happens to be a part of that journey right now so, LOAD IT TO TH-cam, I thought! lol
No, it is definitely upsetting. But it is what it is now. Gotta say goodbye and open the door for someone else to have the opportunity to ride shotgun with me. Thanks brother!

[@jcrxp5904]

Well done Jesse! You handled the situation like a BOSS! You possess the leadership skills necessary to run a company and your frustration is understandable. Love all aspects and angles of your journey! Stay safe, brother!

[@dapperdudesgarage]

Thank you, sir. Definitely frustrating. And I do have to fire the guy. A similar situation occurred back in the past when we were co-workers for a bigger company. I looked past it and figured on a personal basis he wouldn't do it. Guess I was wrong and being in the early stages that I am, I just can't build a solid foundation on that kind of stuff. So, it's over for him. Thanks for the engagement. Be blessed my friend.

Thats why i am so scared to hire anyone

Think door being heavy is causing gears to be under stress.. balance door is pretty important operators should just assist door not carry the weight …

[@dapperdudesgarage]

That’s exactly what’s going on. The tech was supposed to balance the door, as was talked about in the video. That was one of the first obvious concerns we addressed. So not only did we’re have an issue with the gears, but the tech left with the door balanced so poorly.

I know this is a late comment, but 100% it's from not using the grease. I've been doing this biz 24 years, and I've seen it a bunch of times. If you don't put the white grease, you'll be back in a week guaranteed!

[@dapperdudesgarage]

Thank you for that 24 year experience heads up. But its also from not putting all the parts on. I do agree though. I went back and did it all right and put the grease on everything…the shaft, sprocket, everything and its been several months now and the guy has since reached out saying its running great! Thanks for the help sir!

[@brandonwatkins4525]

Timing is important

[@dapperdudesgarage]

sure is brother

[@user-zs5kd7dy4u]

Terrible 😔, hey I want to learn how to install screen door, I will appreciate it u do a video on screen door 😅

[@dapperdudesgarage]

I don't usually do those unless the right customer pops up. Maybe I could try to sell one to a customer. But, in all my years of doing this I've only had a few inquiries about screen doors. If I come across the situation. I will look u up and notify you of the soon coming video.
