Prima donna

The same as everyone else has said, no matter how many chances you give him, he will still do the same again.
I have seen it many times too, it no good for moral with your other guys either. If you let him get away with it he is actually walking over you and the other guys will lose respect for you.
Get rid

Met the likes before, throw down the BIG easy m2 and let others take the smaller bits n bobs. Get shot, or a warning at first, your call

Alan are you refering to me :fuk2:

Firstly i,d probally look at his work and pick out any minor fault and get him to replace before he gets paid. " deducting any money for time wasting.
then tell him politely if he isnt prepared to muck in with the rest of the gang and not grab all the cream then you are not prepared to employ him.
With my old company i was site supervisor but we all mucked in and all did our share of the worst jobs. If your not prepared to work as a team then your loyal works will start to feel that "this is wrong and why should i just do those jobs"
"Hold his money back until he has completed all the required small areas.

Just tell him straight, I have always been a big beleiver in straight talk it cuts through the B/S and gets to the point, if you dont work with the team you dont work. ....Alby

In a squad its important that everybody pulls their weight, he is no different. I would send him down the road, plenty of other tilers slack on work who would gladly do it.

Used to work with a fella like that - he loved banging up the straight metres and left checks, skirting etc for whoever was in behind him. Got a shock one day when he was told not to come back. :lol:

You obviously have to get the work finished so I would get another tiler to finish his work and deduct his costs from your prima donna's earning and then I'd deduct your loss of earnings from the remainder and then I'd give him his cheque and bid him goodbye...

Seen this so many times its frightening:yikes:There's loads of tilers out there with ego's like Robbie Williams:incazzato:They think they're rock stars and treat the real tradesmen like fools:mad2:

If I've heard 'when you going to give us a decent job??' once i've heard it a million times and you usually get that nonsense after they've just slung 30 to 40m2 of full tiles up in a day:incazzato:

I remember having a couple of subbie lads on a school job we had - 6x6 white in changing rooms, probably about 250m2 in each room and there was about 6 areas. Anyway I had a couple of cards in lads that had got finished early on their job and had a week spare before the next one started, so I sent them to this school and put them in their own room away from the subbies If you heard the rubbish I got of these 2 mugs when they saw my lads walking on the job:mad2:'There's not enough here for 4 tilers' and 'we can't make money now..' Needless to say they finished the room they were in and were told that I was sending another 4 'cards in' lads down so there 'definately' wasn't enough for them now:incazzato:

I just can't be doing with that rubbish - just pure greed:incazzato:

I think as neale says, this fella will ALWAYS be the same and I think in todays climate you can do without the hassle Gaz.

Get him to finish what he's started and glide him - if he won't then get one of your other lads to finish it and knock it off what you owe him. But I would pay him straight away as soon as his areas are complete - he'll get the message
