Norman Ohl Launches New Website and Blog

April 22, 2014 - PRLog -- Norman Ohl, an employer for more than 30 years, refers to his staff as “the paid enemy” – not to their faces of course.

“If there was a common overriding issue with my employees, regardless of the industry I was in at the time, it’s that they leave their brain and care factor at the door when they arrive at work,” he says.

Just because you know someone and think they’re a good woman or a good guy doesn’t mean they’re competent in their job.

“This means you often pay them to stuff up; then you have to pay to fix the stuff-up.

“In a construction company I owned, my eight employees managed to destroy $16,000 worth of equipment in a single week due to five careless acts of negligence and zero care factor!”

Mr Ohl says a good employee who shows initiative is a real find, but unfortunately a rare one.

There’s plenty of things he’d like to say to his staff, but as for all small business owners, there’s a fine line between telling it like it is and falling foul of the law.
