My apprentice quit!

Posted the other day about him quitting ...

He did ( he could of read the old post )

Just took him two days to do it

Worst fucking thing he fell asleep this morning on his way to work , so he's late anyway 9 start time actually arrives 9:40 .... ! Normally today it was 10:50 till he arrived... On a day he quits

Now he expects me to pay him extra money .... Holiday days etc ...

I want an apprentice who wants to be good at software 😐

Thing is he said it's not what he wants , I think development is something you learn to love.. because of the challenges. You always when starting out facing huge brick walls you have to get through.

Some people just don't have the capacity to get through them. I think. Developer has to love the difficulty .. you fail multiple times before the finished product ... All the errors. Little fixes no one sees.

It takes dedication.... Hard work to be the best. He didn't get that.

I now have more respect for other devs ( I had a lot already ) knowing that we all went through all of that and now. We are people with true talents.

    Be careful how you handle the situation.
    If you are being unfair, your other dev WILL notice. Treat him as you would a good employee as you are setting precedent here.
    Cut your losses short, pay him what was on the contract, shake hands and say goodbye. There is more at stake.
    Ultimately, bad hiring happens. You have to honour the contract or your inconsistencies will trouble the remaining geeks of your team.
    WE LOVE CONSISTENCY!
