One of my carpenters actually tried to physically fight the foreman who fired him. I mean fists up in the air and everything. And this was in a client's home. Thank goodness the client wasn't living there at the time.
The carpenter was actually a charming guy, which is why we kept giving him one chance after another. But he had a real problem taking instructions. He wanted to do things his way, and he refused to listen to others.
But when the foreman finally fired him, he blew his mind. First, he tried fighting him. Then, he returned the next day to work as if nothing had happened and refused to leave the job site. His attitude was that it was his job and we didn't have the right to fire him. It's like he refused to face reality. Finally, we had to have a formal meeting with him, ask him to grab his tools and leave for good.
If people are tightening their purse strings, these 10 businesses wouldn't know. Their bestsellers are pricey and have plenty of buyers.
