CGF II, Certified Grumble Framer Level 2
2 Weeks ago we hired our first part/full-time framer. We were excited at the prospect of taking her away from a larger mid-higher end framing store here where she had worked for 4 years. She wanted a high wage but we negotiated $2/hr less to start as a training wage, and then up by a dollar in 30 days and then a review in 6 months.
She seemed to have a great attitude and ability to learn when we interviewed her & she assured us that she was very experienced in all areas of framing.
After 2 weeks of framing, I think she exaggerated her ability, half of everything needs to be re-done, and I am not sure now if I should leave her alone as I have been leaving her do do things on her own.
She has proven to have a great learning potential and is great with clients, and is reliable, but we can see that she is going to need a lot of technical training work.
My problem is this, should I get rid of her and hire someone more experienced, or train her more carefully? Do we have to stand over every project that she does and most importantly, what should I do at her review time? I hate this part of the job. I'm a control freak!!
