Ned came to the job drunk again this day.
I have no idea when this guy ever sleeps.
To our knowledge Ned starts drinking beer as soon as he clocks out, around 5 or 6 in the night! Ned keeps drinking until 5 or 6 the following day before dragging himself back into work. I guess he must find time to sleep at some point, I just can’t figure out how he does it! Ned is a nice enough dude, even though I absolutely don’t suppose he is fit for a career in the heating and cooling industry. Heating and Air Conditioning job is difficult work, it requires a lot of focus, patience, and a strong job ethic, and Ned has none of these qualities. When Ned is at work, and sober, Ned is a fantastic Heating and Air Conditioning tech, especially when it comes to client service. Ned might take a while to finish an cooling system tune-up, but he is the best at talking to the clients. In the last year Ned has become our top salesperson when it comes to the annual Heating and Air Conditioning repair plans. Ned has the “gift of gab” and after a few minutes of conversation he can convince clients how pricey the annual Heating and Air Conditioning repair plan is, however out of all our Heating and Air Conditioning techs Ned is the best at this, so I absolutely don’t want to fire him! On the other hand, if Ned keeps coming to job drunk it won ‘t matter how multiple annual Heating and Air Conditioning repair plans he can sell. Alcohol and Heating and Air Conditioning systems do not mix, and sooner or later Ned will get himself hurt.
