woOW your probably a flippin nice bloke Glips , hopefully the sort I could have a beer and a laugh with, and a racist joke taboot , because people ,dont be hypocritical , we all make jokes about race, colour, creed ,religion sexual preferences, fatness ,thinness anything-ness ,and I could sit and have a laugh with any of the aforementioned types . But Glips to say you'll put up with that shit from your staff for an easy life , mate you need to get a grip and tell your staff what the form is IMHO. Or am I just being a paddy decended, lanky, thick illiterate peace off white trash, honky, old git type myself.
When I was managing teams of staff and had to deal with recruitment, promotion and postings issues, my objective was to assemble a balanced team as far as possible. What works best IMHO is a good mixture of young/old, male/female, black/white, etc. Of course it is not always possible to achieve this, but one can try - within the objectives of getting the job done while being fair.
its an impossible line to draw, do you not hire obese people or smokers / drinkers? personal prejudice will always play a part in these things.
