Im putting my hands up.. I struggled to retain a member of staff today.

Couldn’t believe it, an employee refused to drive a 3 year old tractor today and threw the toys out of the pram because he couldn’t drive the new one,

I got the “if I don’t get the new one, I’m going home”

The look on his face when I told him to go home was priceless. Actually was gutted for him because he hung around for an hour in the tea room expecting me to change my mind.
