    Managing employee ADD, Stoner-ADD in the workplace.

    I've worked at the AT-RISK Youth for years...Did I mention ADD/ ADHD anywhere here? Maybe I have some experience with this? Years of professional experience teaching these kids to survive in rugged wilderness conditions from 100*, down to 7*, living outside 30-60 days, continuously, in crazy...

    Managing employee ADD, Stoner-ADD in the workplace.

    Think of someone in a rainy environment wanting to go work in the dark in the winter morning, while its raining, to work in the rain until dark, and come home in the dark, just when the rain stops for a few hours. I get tons of applicants asking how much they can get to work in the rain. A main...

    Managing employee ADD, Stoner-ADD in the workplace.

    Funny, first line in this articles says Sean is just an asshole who treats his employees like shit and children, and everyone's brain works the same, Very little individual difference. Crazy. https://www.additudemag.com/add-adhd-at-work-expert-strategies/ Strangely, you will see the last word...

    Thanks Frans. Where do you find good employees who are safe, responsible, etc? Can you get any to more to Olympia. I hear all the time so many real tree professionals don't want to work in the rain. Do you? Its only 6-8 months of the year. 4-6 months of beautiful weather. We work full time...

    And so what strategies/ tools/ methods will help someone incapable of remembering a number of things in a row because of how their brain is wired. A lot of times people don't know what every tree tool is called. If I need to send someone way up the hill to the truck, and need them to get...

    Not Tyler Durden, another guy. Tyler's resume was in part his history of treebuzz posts, and simply put up some good details, PG&E California utility doing crispy pine work along powerlines for 2 years where people died doing that work, big crane pics, showcasing his gear. He has a truck and...

    Managing employee ADD, Stoner-ADD in the workplace.

    Yes, Mick, I expect people to show up and work the right way, not the foolish ways that others have endangered them. I am very direct and to the point. I don't let them run the show. Someone has to be the project manager when there is not a level of experience to be able for people to work...

    Thanks for that thoughtful answer. From what I am told by my employee, the exact types of safe work-habits I require are what that they are going to test him on at his Union Carpenter's Apprenticeship test (safe, effective work habits, basically, specific to the job, such as how to haul...

    Do you have to follow their rules at Target? Do you get to do it how you want? I'll pay what someone is worth, because they will make it back plus more. I have all the work I can handle without advertising hardly, don't answer my phone mostly, and have an excellent local rep. I don't have...

    Managing employee ADD, Stoner-ADD in the workplace.

    Where? An 8 year production climber from TB couldn't furnish a resume or work history. Like the title "production climber" denotes something. It means you're a tree company climber. I see bad climbers all over. So many easy conifers, everyone thinks their the best. Hardly, from what I've...

    Managing employee ADD, Stoner-ADD in the workplace.

    So are you saying that giving them a successful strategy for life and work is treating them like an 8 year old? Teaching them a habit that is useful forever. You have to realize, if they were doing what they should be able to do, then I wouldn't be repeating myself that way. Burnham...

    Managing employee ADD, Stoner-ADD in the workplace.

    What would you do Mick to avoid repeating yourself all day, rather than working the higher functions of your operation? I can't do both at once. I don't need a notebook, unless I do. When I need to write things down, I do. Do you only delegate on task at a time? I'd never be able to leave the...

    Managing employee ADD, Stoner-ADD in the workplace.

    It's striking me that so many of guys that will do ground work are sorta or wholly ADD/ ADHD, or have Stoner ADD to manage. This is a legal rec cannabis state, so the opportunity to get the most powerful weed on the market is available to absolutely everyone, as conveniently as liquor stores in...
