One-minute.. actually 10 minute Reprimand

All year we have had issues with crew members losing morale and enthusiasm at the Zone, therefore causing them to slack off and frankly half-ass their jobs. It's really easy to get frustrated, hold it in and then complain to Matt later, instead of addressing the issues as they arise. In our pre manager meeting a few weeks ago, the managers did just that and were met with quite a different response than we expected: We were told that WE were doing the same thing as the crew. Matt informed us that we were also slacking on the job by not properly checking that tasks were completed correctly, lacking enthusiasm and asking simple questions that had easy answers, had we just tried to solve the problem ourselves. Personally I think that it made all 8 of us take a step back and look at ourselves and our work ethic. Everyone on the team is important and if one person falls short, it will effect the entire group. For instance, if the closing shift left the place a complete mess that just makes more work for opening shift, which causes them to rush, which affects day shift, and the cycle will just repeat itself. So what I took away from the 10 minute reprimand was that we only have a few short months left together and we've done such a great job with getting the Zone up and running this year, so why not finish strong? It's the managers' job to keep the crew on track and focused so we can keep the ship running smoothly and I know that everyone will step up and get it done :)
