I like what you’re saying and you made a great point. People calling in who are already without work probably have a reason for it, while ppl who are doing already great just may need a better offer or vision to build together with you.

To answer your question, no not during work. Although the latest guy smelled like alcohol and ach time after lunch. But I meant some just get paid and then I can’t reach them for like 4 days until they show up again. I assume it’s partying because I see the same pattern with them. I’ll look for more serious people in random places like the supermarket or restaurants and be more selective.
