How to hire and keep older people
+ Update on our two portfolios
What?
Hiring in this economy?
Yes, business is growing, and I firmly believe that the economy in the US will be picking up, so what better way to prepare for it is to hire and also train the necessary staff to pick up the demand that I foresee
Lately, my hiring and training have been tough to manage, and I hope my thoughts or two will help you avoid an obstacle or the displeasure of hiring and firing someone.
I am sure you are of the school to treat your elders with respect
But when you are paying the bills, and they expect compensation you must maintain leadership
They lost out on opportunities in life, and they may have a few moments of flashbacks that the young and the brash may not have
On the other side, you get experience that you just can’t find
But like AI, the help tends to go off script and often…
Especially if you are not clear and want people to kind of make a place for yourself
So lately, or rather just last week, my prompt before I give the task is:
“This is your task, you must finish it today, you must do exactly what the tasks are no more/no less.
Do you understand the task?
Are we good? What’s the ETA on this?”
If you are uncomfortable telling older people what to do try this:
They are actors, and you are the director giving them a script and direction to perform their best.
My recent hire was an entrepreneur and neurotic.
Will keep you posted.
CLARITY MOMENT
My recent article about a Chad trader got a lot of interest, but until speaking with one reader, I didn’t realize that he was confused if it was real/ or sarcastic.
Some of the “obfuscation” is do to me wanting to speak to you, my loyal readers.
But to clarify the point, it was sarcastic and the idea has been to do the opposite of a chad trader and observe daily what occurs.
Since we all have busy lives, I have been working to add this to my software to see if we can observe the performance

Another email I wrote: shared the key OIL level before takeoff. Did you act on it?
I would argue that paying for it helps alert you to the crisis at hand.
