Case 010K — the chronic callout
Estimated annual drag
$47K
17 callouts. Client reschedules. More owner time spent covering the gaps.
The verdict
This is a management problem before it becomes a hiring problem.
Keep, coach, or fire?
One question. A better next move.
The point is not to turn every employee issue into a termination. It is to stop expensive drift, have the right conversation, and know when a replacement system is actually the better investment.
