"We don't do creepers!" LOL I love how blunt and funny Dave is. He doesn't sugarcoat anything. I'm the same way...very bruaatally honest, and I appreciate when others are the same way. Please, save the "fluff."
Listening as a 28 year old with a minority ownership stake of a staffing company with similar concerns as the first caller. Looking forward to hearing this episode and reading more of your book tonight!
Ks.. I am a minority shareholder in a business when I was made President of board, and we were also in similar situation to first caller. I saw problem with a senior staff, and when the board voted against me to discipline the individual because their `loyalty bone` was stronger than the 'doing the legal things.' When the majority made the decision to back the illegal activity... I could not get enough shareholders to vote them out... so I'm waiting for it to implode and pick up the pieces. In Harry Poter : those that take and do not earn, pay most dearly in their turn. On brings bank notes.
I wonder if staff is a bit shell-shocked from the loss of the founder - if those are long-standing employees, it's likely they miss the guy, probably not the same way the son does, but my first instinct would be to see if a 'corporate grief' counselor - such as a pastor with some business savvy - could come talk to all staff about the loss of the founder. There was likely a bond between the founder and the longer-term employees and maybe this could be a good first step. Then, some sort of 3rd party help that comes in to get the business back on solid footing again. Those longer-term staff members might figure things out - "the kid is trying to help, he lost his dad, time to get back to business" Might work, and it honors the loss the longer-term staff probably feel, and it would be a lot cheaper than fire, hire, retrain. I bet those older workers have no idea that it's legitimate to miss their old boss. Maybe if they had a way to express it.
I don’t think Chris would be considered a creeper, necessarily. What he did was 1000% wrong, but I think it was also consensual between him and the girl he had the affair with.

My husband is this same way too. He hates it when people try to sugarcoat things

By "work ethic" we mean "arbitrarily jump through hoops to make my meeting serve my ego more"
I wonder if Dave thinks Chris was a creeper lol
