out dear amanda i own a small computer busi ness in themarkham area i would never have relocated here two years ago if i had known how much trouble i would have finding staff dont people want to work anymore whenever i hire some one they either quit or i have to fire them for laziness they come to work with long hair and jeans and look like theyre going on a picnic instead of a place of business when i started out i worked 12 hours a day for peanuts and was glad of the opportunity to have a job whats happening to this coun try im giving serious thought to relocating to the states dear worked for peanuts they have long hair and jeans in the states too i doubt if re locating will solve your problems as you dont say exactly what youre hiring these people to do its impossible for me to say whether or not their apparel is appropriate but unless its a mat ter of health or safety the length of a persons hair as long as its clean and wellgroomed should be irrelevant a company that consistently has staffing problems is a com pany that should take a good hon est look at itself its possible of course that youre using poor judgement in your hiring prac tices checking references is a good way to start turning that around it may be that you arent com petitive with other businesses in the area in terms of wages and working conditions that should be easy enough to check as for your
