[On Kidnapping and Its Application] {My Speculation and Opinion} Trigger warning for everything. For the yandere community. Block, don't report. Have a good day.

Chapter 2

Last chapter we discussed preparation in a half-hazardous way including aftercare, basic psychology, and some common sense. Here we will highlight one of these topics, and it will be common sense.

Common sense includes the various spectrum of knowledge allowed to everyone or known to a great many people, but can we really call this kind of knowledge common?

Firstly I'll discuss the obvious; employment for us can be spotty or spacey, this is to be expected. To find a job and stick with it can be the most draining thing, but is important to keeping your victim, especially if they are too disabled to keep a job or if you want them to stay at home.

I've heard of some companies using an AI to hire their employees and that there's a way around it (according to reddit, take this with a pinch of salt) by putting that they went to a big university of college (Harvard, Yale, whatever) but then made those words transparent so people can't see it, but the AI can.

Or the old method that companies use as well; lying. (Immediate termination is often the consequence as well as sometimes being blacklisted.)

Or just get a regular job. Your victim will likely not be working (unless you've already had communications with your victim and they have employment, then income won't be too much of an issue.) Even a minimum wage job would be better than nothing.

Make sure they live alone. If they live with their family/significant other then assume people are on alert, even when asleep. Assume every house has a self defense bat, mine does, so I assume every home has one or an equivalent. BE AWARE THAT PEOPLE DO CARRY BLADES/GUNS.

Transportation; a car or motor vehicle is often used. A quiet car would be best, if you don't have one then park your car some distance away before approaching the residence. Make sure you have a plan for getting your victim onto/into your vehicle without too much fussing about.

How to keep your location a secret? In this day and age your location can be tracked just about anywhere, I have no cure all but I think turning off your phone's location at home is a good bet (because then your last recorded location was at your residence), learning the parts of the phone so you can just pop it out, or just leave it at home. Seriously, just leave it at home or get a burner, I don't know how this works or else I'd give better advise. (Sorry to those who think I'm a guru on this)

If you're stalking then do yourself a favor and look vague; hoodie, sunglasses, a hat, keep your distance. If you must listen in on the target's conversations then get one of those apps for amplifying noise. If you can insert yourself somewhere in your target's life, then do so, it will be easier to gain their trust this way (clubs or online communities are a good way, even if you aren't good at what's being done its better to try than to have never even had the possibility at all)}

[credit to...♡ @lonedarling ♡ for the suggestions]

Check for a security sign in front of the home, the sign will give you the company name, the company has a website, the website will give you information on how they rig the house (or a phone number to call and ask questions as a "potential buyer") granted, some areas (or countries) just don't have these. Use your common sense.

If no security sign is present, then assume these people will sleep lightly, tread with caution and make sure to take your shoes off to avoid excessive noises.

Distribute your weight evenly if they have genuine wood floors as that might create less noise.

!->First time you see the house is time for reconnaissance.<-!

Slip in a few times and get used to their home, walk around and get a feel for the place. Look at the brands they use, their trash, their medication... it is all useful cause then you can look online for the specific stores that carry those products.

!->People will often use a single store for their shopping needs.<-!

If their phone is just lying about... try to unlock it. If you've been paying attention then you have their password.

I purposely left out actually kidnapping them. That should be done in your way, using your mind, but I can add a tip or two if people request it... I won't let you guys flounder if I have a solution...

Now you all have some very useful knowledge... Next I shall discuss the psychology of your typical victim in more detail.

Author's note: you guys may have more info to add here, please do. I love you guys and I hope you guys have a good day. I'll make the next chapter soon.

Finland's unemployment rate is rising, but Helsingin Sanomat has news of an American employer eyeing further expansion.

Established without much fanfare, according to HS, power giant Eaton's Vantaa factory manufactures what's known as uninterruptible power supply products (UPS) that can maintain power in the event of a failure.

The global cloud service market — now also needed for an AI boom — requires continuous electricity supply, and these devices are being assembled in Vantaa.

Already employing around 400 people, Eaton hired 50 workers in Finland this year and plans to hire as many more. Only five percent of Eaton's equipment stays in Finland, the rest is for export. Vantaa also serves as the headquarters for the company's backup power system business in Europe, where product development is carried out in collaboration with units located in the US and China.

Possible power break

Ilta-Sanomat warns of potential spot electricity price hikes this week as all three Olkiluoto reactors will probably undergo service at the same time.

This news follows last week's spot price jump triggered by low wind power, as well as two of Olkiluoto's reactors getting their annual maintenance.

The completion of Olkiluoto 3's first annual checkup is over a month behind schedule, IS writes.

Finnish Energy, the energy sector's trade association, has said consumers could expect significant daily and monthly electricity price fluctuations in the future.

Parking patrols' payback

Iltalehti reports on a significant increase in parking surveillance in Helsinki over the past two years, along with increased fines following a 2022 report highlighting inspector negligence.

Helsingin Sanomat was the first to report on consulting firm Valor’s survey which revealed that parking inspectors in the capital region were largely neglecting their duties.

The report from spring 2022 observed that employees conducted inspections in places where parking is impossible, like the Kulosaari bridge and major road intersections. Certain locations received excessive supervision, while others were neglected. Breaks and non-work activities consumed significant portions of some inspectors' days.

Kaija Kossila, Helsinki's head of parking enforcement and services, told IL that the findings prompted immediate action from the city to address the issues and improve effectiveness.

Measures included reducing unnecessary meetings, improving work supervision, and tightening time management practices.

Since the report's publication, there has been a noticeable turnaround.

There were some 230,000 checks by Helsinki parking inspectors between January and March two years ago. This year, during the same period, there have been around 480,000.

The number of parking fines has also grown. Kossila told IL that the City of Helsinki issued over 24,000 more parking fines last year than in 2022, bringing the total up to nearly 160,000.

Watching Dr. Phil and they're talking about quiet quitting and is it just laziness?

And fuck every time someone tries to explain the point of quiet quitting and how it's just doing the job to the letter without putting in more than you are paid to do for mare hours than you are paid for while still getting the job done right, someone jumps in saying that they applied themselves and built a successful business and basically it's insulting to them that people aren't doing the same even in dead end jobs that do not have performance based raises and rewards, in jobs that will gladly keep the person doing the work load of three in place doing the work of three rather than hiring on two more people to even out the work load.

They keep trying to bring in the fact that these people that are advocating for quiet quitting are successful and own a business or are pretty high up in their fields but they keep missing the point about the burnout and excessive responsibility pushed onto people with no recognition or reward and the moment those hard workers pull back and just do their intended work they then become lazy, ungrateful, dispassionate, no good employees that don't care about their company.

The same people that will be told time and again that they are easily replaceable unless they can do the work of multiple people and positions regardless of training, salary/wage, availability, and ability.

The same people in jobs that are constantly being reduced due to technological advances pushing out paid staff to optimize profits while having to pick up the slack for the reduced number of people by doing the tasks that the new technology is not capable of that still requires hands-on work.

Quiet quitting is about doing your job to the fullest without stepping into another job within the workplace.

Asking a part time cashier to clean the checkout and help with inventory can still fall into their job description but when you ask them to work extra hours, take on management duties without the training, pay, or advancement to make them a manager and just refer to them as a part time cashier when they end up running the store and tell them that with a little hard work they could one day do the job they are already doing without the pay or recognition but right now they are not worth it, they will have nothing left to give that hasn't already been done.

Dr. Phil you are missing the fucking point.

From the article: What's behind the economy's strength? At least some experts say illegal immigration that has boosted the labor supply and allowed economic expansion without inflation.

Wishing for a rational discussion about immigration. If Americans want a Canadian system, that's doable. But it's not what we have. Nor is it what we're used to. The Canadian system combines a high rate of immigration with strict immigration requirements and enforcement. It would not boost the supply of agricultural and hospitality workers and reduce inflationary pressures the way illegal immigration does in the US.

The US does not allow the legal entry of the number of immigrants the economy needs. People being people and also needing money to live, the excess demand for labor will be filled through illegal immigration. And Americans being Americans, enforcement is also lax. After all, how seriously does anyone anywhere take rules that say you're not allowed to work or hire someone to work without government permission? That's even less true in the US.

So we have a system that's the exact opposite of Canada's: we allow in few legal immigrants while only technically requiring employers to verify their employees' permission to work. In the US it's really up to the employer what standards to set to meet that requirement. So illegal immigrants are pushed into low wage jobs for employers who aren't into following government regulations closely. The result: lots of cheap labor for agriculture, hotels, restaurants, cleaning services, yard work...

Hey those are the jobs we used to make Black people take for low wages no matter what their abilities were. And gee, the immigration system evolved this way right about the same time Black people began to integrate fully into the US economy. Weird.

How High Pressure Cleaning Can Improve Your Home's Curb Appeal

The quality of your home is constantly up against a legion of issues: dirt, grime, airborne pollutants, mildew and mould. These compromise curb appeal and harm the condition of your house.

Bacteria counts in Greenwood Creek are above EPA standards at Route 133/Old Essex Road and decrease further downstream. This indicates that an upstream source is contaminating CNR. To know more about High Pressure Cleaning, visit the A Clean House Washing website or call 0419778863.

Hiring bond cleaners in Ipswich to pressure wash your home’s exterior is an excellent idea if you want to improve your home’s value. Dirty and stained walls will look unappealing to potential buyers, and can cause them to lose interest in your property. Regular washing will keep your home’s surface in good condition, prolonging its lifespan and enhancing its curb appeal.

In addition to making your property look cleaner, high pressure washing can also eliminate oil stains from driveways and carparks. It can also be used to remove slippery moss and algae from pathways and patios.

For industrial properties, a high pressure cleaning service is an effective way to remove moss, mildew and other organic growth. This not only looks bad, but it can also damage the surfaces and leave them vulnerable to water damage. Regular cleaning with a professional high pressure cleaning company will prevent this and protect your building, save you money and improve health & safety standards.

Using a jet or pressure washer without the correct knowledge and skill can lead to disastrous results. Not only can it be difficult to find the right pressure to use, but there are a number of different types of surfaces that require different techniques and nozzles. Some surfaces, such as brick or stucco, are delicate and can be damaged by excessive water pressure. Others, such as painted fences and concrete surfaces require lower PSI levels to avoid damaging the surface. The key to success with these surfaces is the use of chemicals, which kill bacteria at their source and keep them from returning.

The tanks at your commercial property or industrial site can quickly start to look scruffy if moss, grime and dirt build up. A professional cleaning service can clean your tanks on a schedule to keep them looking good and shielded from the elements and potential damage.

The experts can also apply animal friendly chemicals that do not leave odours or residue. To know more about High Pressure Cleaning, visit the A Clean House Washing website or call 0419778863.

It is very easy to rent or buy DIY pressure washing gadgets but a knowledgeable expert knows how to adjust the water PSI level and the type of chemical cleaner required for different surfaces. Using the wrong chemicals or the wrong water pressure can blast off exterior rendering and plaster, strip weather proofing sealant and etch brickwork and concrete. The experts will also have the proper safety equipment and experience to work safely up high.

Busting Myths: Addressing Frequently Held Myths Regarding HRMS Software

Human Resource Management Systems (HRMS) software has become a vital tool for businesses looking to improve employee engagement, streamline HR procedures, and spur business growth in today's fast-paced business climate. But even with its broad use and established advantages, there are still a number of false beliefs about HRMS software that prevent businesses from realising all of its potential. In this blog, we plan to debunk all the myths and misconceptions regarding HRMS software.

Myth 1: HRMS Software Is Only Used by Big Businesses

Many people mistakenly believe that HRMS software is only meant for large companies with substantial HR departments.

Reality: Actually, HRMS software is adaptable and flexible, which means that companies of all sizes—including startups and small-to-medium-sized firms (SMEs)—can use it. HRMS software can be customised to match your unique requirements and financial restrictions, regardless of the size of your team—five people or five hundred.

For example, consider a growing firm that wants to streamline employee record-keeping and automate the hiring process. They can automate their hiring process, monitor candidate data, and guarantee compliance with labour rules by putting in place a cloud-based HRMS solution without any need for additional HR members.

2. Only HR Professionals can use HRMS Software

Another widespread misunderstanding is that HR software is only useful for HR specialists and has no bearing on workers outside of the HR division.

Reality: Contemporary HRMS software enables staff members to take control of their own data and perform tasks like updating personal information, seeking leave, and accessing training materials through self-service portals and mobile apps.

For example, if an employee needs to request a leave of absence, they can simply submit their request online, follow its progress, and get automated notifications when it's authorised thanks to an easy-to-use HRMS interface.

3. HRMS Software is too Hard to use and Implement

The belief that HR and payroll software is excessively complicated to use and implement causes some organisations to hesitate before implementing it.

Reality: Many contemporary HRMS solutions prioritise user-friendliness, providing straightforward setup procedures and intuitive interfaces. Furthermore, trustworthy HRMS providers offer thorough training and continuous assistance to help businesses successfully complete the implementation process. Dedicated support teams are available to help at every stage, from initial setup to continuous maintenance, guaranteeing a smooth transition and an optimal return on investment.

4. HRMS Software Causes Employment Losses

The idea that human resource management system (HRMS) software will cause job losses by automating manual operations that HR professionals have historically performed is perhaps the worst misconception.

Reality: HR practitioners can now concentrate on more strategic duties like talent development, workforce planning, and organisational culture, while HRMS software automates repetitive administrative tasks like data input and payroll processing.

Through the use of HRMS software, HR personnel can redirect their attention from monotonous duties to actions that offer value and propel business triumph. This improves overall employee happiness and retention, in addition to increasing the effectiveness of HR operations.

5. Using HRMS Software Is Limited to Managing Simple HR Activities

Some organisations think that HRMS software can only handle administrative duties like tracking attendance and making payroll.

Reality: A broad range of cutting-edge features and capabilities, such as workforce analytics, talent management, performance appraisal, and compliance management, are available in contemporary HRMS systems.

HRMS software is a critical instrument for advancing organisational success, with applications ranging from spotting exceptional talent and fostering employee growth to carrying out thorough workforce assessments and guaranteeing legal compliance. Organisations can stay competitive, make data-driven decisions, and obtain insightful knowledge about their workforce by fully using the potential of HRMS software.

Conclusion

HRMS software is an effective instrument that can revolutionise how businesses handle their human resources. Organisations may fully realise the potential of HRMS software to promote productivity, engagement, and creativity among employees by busting myths and accepting the reality of the product. HRMS software provides scalable and customisable solutions to match the specific demands of small and large businesses alike, helping them advance their operations in the digital age.

Reduce Employee Turnover for Better Business Performance

Employee turnover is a big problem for organizations. It is costly and can impact a business’ ability to meet customer expectations. To minimize its effects, businesses should keep a close eye on their turnover rate and take measures to reduce it.

The employee turnover rate is simply the percentage of employees who leave a company over a period of time, say one year. It includes those who leave voluntarily (resign) and those who leave involuntarily (fired, laid off, or compelled to leave by factors beyond their control, such as retirement). Turnover rate is calculated by taking employee turnover in a period, dividing it by the average number of employees during that period, and multiplying it by 100.

Some turnover in a business is unavoidable. Looking at data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average national turnover rate is around 20 percent annually, or 1.6 percent a month. It varies depending on numerous factors, including the state of the economy.

Losing employees is costly for businesses. Research firm Gallup estimates this cost at 1.5-2 times the employee’s monthly salary. This includes the cost of recruiting and hiring a new employee as well as lost productivity costs. Other drawbacks are low employee morale and lower quality of work from new and inexperienced hires.

Thus, businesses should strive to have as little turnover as possible. The key to doing this is understanding why employees leave in the first place. A good place to start is asking employees who are leaving why they are doing so. Often, they leave for similar reasons. A 2022 study of 1,516 human resource professionals by the Society of Human Resources Management (SHRM) revealed the top three reasons employees left organizations: low compensation, limited career development opportunities, and poor flexibility.

If a business is not attractive to employees because it offers low compensation, the owner can look at other businesses in the same industry and region to determine average compensation rates. If theirs is lower, they should increase their salaries.

Sometimes, businesses do provide competitive pay but employees don’t realize it, since they don’t factor in benefits and rewards as part of their salary. In such cases, business leaders should give employees reward statements enumerating the value of benefits like 401(k) matching, health insurance, and tuition reimbursement.

If the issue is limited career development, business owners should align senior roles with employees’ desired career paths to help current employees envision career advancement within the company. They should then intentionally communicate senior job opportunities in the company to all employees and implement policies to boost internal promotions. If an employee applies for a promotion but is not successful, managers should reach out to them and share what they did right and what they can improve on to have a better chance the next time.

Advancing knowledge is also part of career development. Business owners should give employees access to learning opportunities such as skills training workshops.

Limited flexibility is another top reason employees leave. Millennials and Gen Z workers are especially attracted to flexible work arrangements that support a healthy work-life balance. Businesses can consider allowing remote work for departments where this is possible. Managers can also meet with employees individually to identify their flexibility needs and formulate ways to accommodate them.

Other reasons employees leave organizations are excessive work, uninspiring leadership, toxic company culture, and lack of recognition. It is important for managers to review their work expectations, management styles, company culture, and reward and recognition practices to ensure they are designed to attract and retain talent.

9 tax considerations if you’re starting a business as a sole proprietor

When launching a small business, many entrepreneurs start out as sole proprietors. If you’re launching a venture as a sole proprietorship, you need to understand the tax issues involved. Here are nine considerations:

1. You may qualify for the pass-through deduction. To the extent your business generates qualified business income, you’re currently eligible to claim the 20% pass-through deduction, subject to limitations. The deduction is taken “below the line,” meaning it reduces taxable income, rather than being taken “above the line” against your gross income. However, you can take the deduction even if you don’t itemize deductions and instead claim the standard deduction. Be aware that this deduction is only available through 2025, unless Congress acts to extend it.

2. You report income and expenses on Schedule C of Form 1040. The net income will be taxable to you regardless of whether you withdraw cash from the business. Your business expenses are deductible against gross income and not as itemized deductions. If you have losses, they’ll generally be deductible against your other income, subject to special rules related to hobby losses, passive activity losses and losses from activities in which you weren’t “at risk.”

3. You must pay self-employment taxes. For 2024, you pay self-employment tax (Social Security and Medicare) at a 15.3% rate on your net earnings from self-employment up to $168,600, and Medicare tax only at a 2.9% rate on the excess. An additional 0.9% Medicare tax (for a total of 3.8%) is imposed on self-employment income in excess of $250,000 for joint returns, $125,000 for married taxpayers filing separate returns and $200,000 in all other cases. Self-employment tax is imposed in addition to income tax, but you can deduct half of your self-employment tax as an adjustment to income.

4. You generally must make quarterly estimated tax payments. For 2024, these are due April 15, June 17, September 16 and January 15, 2025.

5. You can deduct 100% of your health insurance costs as a business expense. This means your deduction for medical care insurance won’t be subject to the rule that limits medical expense deductions.

6. You may be able to deduct home office expenses. If you work from a home office, perform management or administrative tasks there, or store product samples or inventory at home, you may be entitled to deduct an allocable part of certain expenses, including mortgage interest or rent, insurance, utilities, repairs, maintenance and depreciation. You may also be able to deduct travel expenses from a home office to another work location.

7. You should keep complete records of your income and expenses. Specifically, you should carefully record your expenses in order to claim all the tax breaks to which you’re entitled. Certain expenses, such as automobile, travel, meals, and home office expenses, require extra attention because they’re subject to special recordkeeping rules or deductibility limits.

8. You have more responsibilities if you hire employees. For example, you need to get a taxpayer identification number and withhold and pay over payroll taxes.

9. You should consider establishing a qualified retirement plan. The advantages are that amounts contributed to it are deductible at the time of the contributions and aren’t taken into income until they’re withdrawn. You might consider a SEP plan, which requires minimal paperwork. A SIMPLE plan is also available to sole proprietors and offers tax advantages with fewer restrictions and administrative requirements. If you don’t establish a retirement plan, you may still be able to contribute to an IRA.

7 Common Areas Of Overspending In Businesses

How to drive sustainable growth in any business? The first and foremost approach towards this paradigm shift is to recognize where most of the expenses are heading and take a step back. Overspending tends to be one of the typical crises of any organization. In order to ensure a steady organizational boost and amp up the revenue, take the first step and cease paying extra for services. Stop neglecting your original budget, and pay heed to where all the money is being flushed out. Feeling overwhelmed with so many money talks? Let us simplify the same by categorizing the seven most common areas where businesses are likely to overspend as explained by the best travel management company - SKIL Travel. 

7 Most Typical Areas Businesses Tend to Overspend

Ineffective Employee Management

It is indeed a doubtless fact an organization will likely shut down without the incorporation of employees. But, in the majority of cases, businesses tend to hire either prematurely or in excessive numbers. This issue leads to ridiculous expenses which don’t only include the fundamental salaries but also benefits, taxes, and additional facilities offered to the employees. 

Overlooking Supplier Negotiations

Overspending on goods and services might result from failing to negotiate favourable terms with suppliers. Firming up ties with suppliers and aggressively haggling over conditions of payment, discounts, and rates should be a top priority for businesses. Overspending can be avoided and cost-saving opportunities can be found by routinely examining contracts and looking into alternative providers. In fact, this is one of the major areas that, SKIL Travel, as the best travel management company abide by.

Technology Overload

Businesses nowadays are frequently the victims of excessive technological spending. Keeping up with the most recent developments is crucial, but spending money on superfluous gear, software, or IT services can be costly. Businesses may find superfluous tools and optimise their tech stack by conducting frequent technology audits. This will help them make informed investments in products that actually increase productivity and efficiency.

Futile Marketing Strategies

Success in business depends on marketing, yet spending too much on unproductive tactics can have negative effects. Companies should examine their marketing strategies and channels' return on investment (ROI) closely. Marketing expenditures can be maximised and unnecessary spending can be avoided by allocating resources based on data-driven insights and concentrating on tactics that connect with the target market.

Unsupervised Employee Expenses

Employee expenses, when left unmonitored, tend to spiral up really quickly. From lavish client dinners to unwarranted office supplies, overspending ought to happen. This is why, organizations are required to circulate transparent expense policies, offering employee training on responsible spending and utilizing expense management tools is a great way to keep a watch on and address employee expenses.

Overlooking Energy Efficiency

Concerning excessive expenditure in organizations, energy expenses might be a silent killer. Energy-related expenses can be avoided by ignoring energy-saving techniques, such as switching to energy-efficient appliances, improving office lighting, and adopting sustainable habits. Reducing energy use and promoting environmentally conscious behaviour among staff members can result in substantial long-term financial benefits.

Disregarding Employee Training and Development

Organisational growth depends on investing in the training and development of its employees, but when such training is not well-defined or does not match company objectives, overspending may result. Businesses should regularly analyse skill gaps, give strategic objectives-aligned training programmes top priority, and look into affordable training options like seminars and online courses in order to maximise their investment in this domain.

What are the Reasons Behind Businesses Overspending?

There are plenty of reasons for a business to overspend - drastically jeopardizing their financial health. The primary reason is the absence of strategic expense management. Inefficient corporate travel solutions, unnoticed employee expenses, lack of initial planning, bad vendor selection, failure to negotiate, and no analytics or auditing, are some of the root causes.

Therefore, it is essential for a business to start laying emphasis more on planning its budget from the outset, choosing reliable vendors, putting efforts into negotiating with contractors, and hiring an adept auditor to look after the whole business.

It is imperative for firms seeking to attain financial sustainability and efficiency to recognise and tackle these prevalent sources of excess spending.

Loss Aversion

Imagine this scenario: a colleague offers to flip a coin and give you $20 if it lands on heads. If it lands on tails, you give him $20. Stop and ponder; would you accept that bet? For most of us, the answer is no. Behavioral science experts Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman performed an experiment which resulted in a clear example of human bias towards losses. The experiment involved asking people if they would accept a bet based on the flip of a coin. If the coin came up tails the person would lose $100, and if it came up heads, they would win $200. The results of the experiment showed that on average people needed to gain about twice as much as they were willing to lose in order to proceed forward with the bet. This tendency reflects loss aversion, or the idea that losses generally have a much larger psychological impact than gains of the same size.

You likely experience this phenomenon daily. Have you ever purchased something knowing you’d likely return it, but the longer you keep it the more attached you get? Sending the item back now feels like a loss. The longer we’ve waited to be seated at a restaurant, the harder it becomes to leave, as it feels as if the time we’ve invested would then be lost. The more we try to fit a new couch through a too-narrow entryway, the less inclined we are to give up and accept that we need a smaller couch, and the more steadfast we become in making it fit. It seems that sometimes we will persist with a belief or course-of-action long after it is rational to do so: we feel trapped by what we have already committed.

Although a fascinating piece of knowledge about human behavior, what does the concept of loss aversion have to do with the workplace?

As leaders, knowing that losses have a tremendous psychological impact can cloud judgment when it comes to truly evaluating employee performance. We have a tendency to double down with those we’ve invested time with yet who continue to underperform.

“B” and “C” Players

A less enjoyable component of management is the act of working with and coaching the perpetual underperformers. Every department has them, every leader has struggled with them, and some may even have a few who come to mind immediately. They are the few who we try to encourage, who we try to train, and for whom we hold out hope that change will come, but it can seem like an endless cycle of performance management and frustration.

We all recognize “A” Players. Within most organizations, there is even room for the competent, steady “B” performers who balance their work and personal lives while still performing a significant number of tasks that need to be done. They stay in their lane, don’t require a great deal of attention, and they get the job done.

On the other end of the spectrum, “C” Players sometimes make up the smallest segment of the team yet require the most time and attention. They are the employees with a constant litany of excuses — a vehicle is broken, someone is sick, excessive days are missed, and the workload either gets passed to someone else or delayed altogether. They walk the fine line between “good enough to get by” and “fireable offense worthy of termination.” They are granted continual employment primarily because the act of hiring, training and managing someone you don’t know is sometimes more intimidating than continuing to deal with the perpetual issues of the presently employed “C” performer.

Stop Doubling Down

It’s time to step away from the fear of losing $100 and focus instead on the opportunity cost of not winning $200. The obvious unintended consequence of having a seat filled with an underperformer is having it not filled by a significant contributor. What rarely is considered is the impact on those who are current significant contributors; there is little more frustrating than having your own success consistently hampered by another person’s incompetence. If the majority of your team is working hard, producing great results with tremendous collaboration, what message are you sending by supporting the 10 percent who are doing the opposite? How long do “varsity players” want to be surrounded by sub-par athletes?

Beyond performance issues, it is likely time to top-grade when:

The individual is the central cause or perpetual perpetrator of office drama

Co-workers (or possibly worse, clients) have taken note of the incompetence

The employee has an apathetic attitude

He or she ignores actionable feedback

The individual handles emotions poorly, mistaking the work environment as a therapist’s office

You spend more than ten minutes a week, week after week, dealing with issues created by the employee

Toxic Workers, a Harvard Business School study of more than 60,000 employees found that “a superstar performer–one that models desired values and delivers consistent performance” brings in more than $5,300 in cost savings to a company. Avoiding a toxic hire, or letting one go quickly, delivers $12,500 in cost savings. Within the high-tech sector and in sales organizations these numbers are much higher.

Sometimes, it truly is best to return the item, leave the overcrowded restaurant, or succumb to a smaller couch. Instead of experiencing a loss, you might actually gain the improved morale of the entire workforce. Instead of experiencing a feeling of loss over time invested, you might actually gain more time to invest in those who are worth investing in. Instead of feeling the loss of an employee, you might actually gain a key contributor you would not have otherwise hired.
