Trying to save some jobs!

[gfp55]

First off sorry for the loss of your friend.
From Jane's stand point to keep the business, kick the kid to the curb and beg the former employees back to keep the business going, I am sure out the employees there is one competent enough to be the lead man or foreman.
However since Jane is loaded and if it is close enough to you, buy out the business, hire back the good employees and then you have the satisfaction of firing the worthless kid.

I need this like a hole in the head, but I bought the business and the good employees are back to work, all but the kid. I said I want everything but her. She cried to mom, mom talked to me and I said no. The kid tried to get some money from mom and others to buy it but failed. I going to thin the herd of old machines and machines that never get used. That will free up some money for some newer stuff and a building, I leasing a building from Jane for one year, but hope to have mine up by winter. Got to get my ducks in a row. Again I need this like.........If this gives me a stroke its your fault Nwatson Just joking

Glad the kid burned the business down. That's what happens when you don't raise children correctly. Lesson learned

I couldn't let good people lose their jobs. You can raise kids right, but they can become bad all by themselves.

Good on you for helping the good employees. Just watch out for sabotage by the kid or something crazy.

New locks, alarm system. Lease states who can and can not be in building. I'm the one with the codes. I put in a new driveway and blocked the old entrance and have signage with my logo and number. Local cops know I own the business now and my people all got long overdue pay raises. All the big trailers, trucks and machines that are for sale that will not fit in the building are at my farm. I should have my building up and filled in about two months if the weather is good.

LOL well I hope you do not have a stroke, but you did the right thing and congrats on expanding your fleet and business. :thumbsup:
I am sure you have already done this, but have you already contacted all your new clients and informed them of this merger / take-over?

The right thing to do is not always an easy one. You did the right thing.

I know this is an old thread, but how is the business going?
