I have two guys who work in the machine shop here, an older black guy
who knows everything possible about machining and a younger guy who
sorta gets by. They work well together and are friends. We were
talking about where to go for lunch and the young guy asked 'Wanna go
get Chinese food", "No, we did that last week". Then he asks, "How
about some N*gg*r food". Total silence as the rest of us were
shocked. Then he says "Oh, never mind".
What should I do?


No offense but consider this...........


You are asking for opinions about how you treat your employees and run
your company from a bunch of folks you have never met, know nothing
about and at a boating NG.


Wow.


You are severely underestimating the capabilities of this group.
We're a bunch of regular guys, and gave him good advice.
Maybe he should hire a labor relations consulting firm for the answer?
Hire a lawyer?
No. He caught us sober, and it paid off for him.
Boaters give good advice, because they're good folks.
So there.

" Boaters give good advice, because they're good folks."

Huh?

Whatever.


Am not likely to make serious decisions based on advice from an
unqualified group. This is all mostly friendly talk. However, you do
represent the sorta average man on the street as you dont know me you
might be kinda sorta maybe possibly unbiased (except Harry of
course). On boating matters, I might even take y'all seriously.
However, the electrolyte thing is prob good advice and cheap to
implement.
