Why can't people just show up to work and work any more?

The guy I hired which was an old employee of mine that used to do well has missed more work for nonsense injuries and excuses than he has shown up for. He stepped on a nail after I repeatedly told him to stop throwing boards with nails in them on the ground, missed a half a week for that, then there is the every other day excuse of I didn't sleep last night so I'll show up late and work half assed. Then it's I get migraines. Then this week showed up late Monday and got no production done then worked a good day Tuesday and on Wednesday said he was doing a dump run but only took a trashcan full and left a trailer load at the house and then called and said he pinched something in his back. He didn't come back and I told him to stay home and go to the doctor if it was that bad, he didn't go to the doctor and then I get a text message this morning saying he was going to be late because he didn't sleep last night. I told him to take the day off but if course he says he can't afford to and will show up and see what he can do which means nothing but I get to pay him for it.

I hate employees

...and just WHY are you keeping him?

WTH, does he have photos of you and a goat! Can his worthless ass.
 
I got myself into a predicament. I helped him move out here because he used to be a great worker. He is living in one of my rentals. I know he doesn't have rent which is due in a couple days so at least I can start the removal process. One day I might learn my lesson of being a nice guy
 
Everyday I deal with employees makes me understand and baffled more about where our country is going. I cannot find one single hard working responsible young American. First off no one wants to do construction anymore, it is looked at like we are losers or dumb people tgat couldn't go to school. Second everyone us so entitled that we shouldn't be making them do manual labor for 8 hours straight and then expect them to do it day after day. Third, since they have to use their muscles they expect to be paid more than the bank president on their first week.

What is wrong with people?

When I moved my business from KC to my hometown, 100 miles, my helper moved too. It lasted a few months, but his attitude changed. Have not seen him in years now.
 
I would feel worse but he came to me to move and work. I just don't understand how a person can be ok with this attitude. I have been doing his job th e last two days because it needs to get done. Today he showed up to drop off my trailer so he could use my work truck to run some errands all the while he can't make it to work.
