Well, when we asked those four people, the first person to speak up, Tommy, was the lead carpenter.
And he said, he goes, look at me.
And he was pointing out how he was dressed.
He was in his work boots and jeans.
He goes, I've been a carpenter 25 years.
I was expecting the same thing to happen here that's happened at my other half a dozen jobs I've been at, which is come in, fill out the HR paperwork, get shuffled off into the field of my job, right?
He goes, I never knew anything about those companies except for my job and the people I worked with in the field.
Didn't even know who other than the HR person who other people were.
He goes, the fact that you've kept me here all day today, because this is the end of the first day, and you're going to bring me back tomorrow, I've already learned so much about how this company operates.
Everybody has been welcoming and friendly.
I've met so many great people.
He goes, I already called my wife at lunch and told her I found my last job.
That's what you're trying to accomplish in the first two days.
But again, the first two days shouldn't have anything to do with training them for the job you hired them for.
It's the big picture.
It's the company stuff that you're helping them understand.
So that's a great experience.
Yeah, and that's why I said that's a big mistake that people make.
They just assume if we hire an A player, you know, then everything will work out.
But we saw, and still to this day, see even those A players that, you know, they're not succeeding like they did in the past, unless you can create a similar type of environment.
