Have you had to manage employees during any of those? If you have, you'd know that your "blacklisting" policy could run you into a heap of legal trouble. Nevermind the fact threatening it as a matter of "encouraging" good behavior usually has the opposite effect.
Shiny. I'd had employees, suppliers, contractors, business associates.
I'd suggest reading exactly what I wrote, and not photofly's misquoting of what I wrote.
No where did I write that I ever would threaten an employee to encourage good behaviour or work harder, and I've never done that.
If an employee --in the industry example I quoted -- say returned a known damaged aircraft without fully reporting it, lied or decieved me about it, yes I would blacklist that person. They would never work for me again, and I would tell my all friends in the business, too.
Once trust is broken, it can rarely be restored. Certainly with me, that's how it is. In my world, lying in a non negotiable offense, for one. It's just a principle, and I know many other business owners who feel the same way.
Trying to make a point -- is it's a small community, and the business owners run it, whether in the FTU or 705 industry. They write the paychecks. Pissing them off, gaining a reputation, is not a wise idea for ones career.
A lot of people here seem to have an anti company attitude, at least on the internet. Do the minimum required, bitch incessantly, rail that the company is the enemy. I don't think that is a path to happiness or success, that's all. Make your company, your partner.
