We spend an enormous amount of time training folks that might not even make it officially into our roster, or find out they might not fit after the training period.
We are trying this format out for the first time after realizing this huge expense.
Having us train and educate you on proprietary remediation, isolation and conversion methods while we pay seems fair to me. But i do not claim to know everything.
What is of such tremendous value that you are offering the potential employee that slave labor is warranted? The possibility of “having a job” and only making money on your watch?
Sorry - I fail to see the value in your business or to understand what value you see in the very people who will support your business from its own foundation.
Except this is a classified ad not an opinion thread… pretty weird to just shit on someone’s classified ad in public. Not the first time I’ve seen this either.
All input is great for debate. I encourage it. This forum is great for this reason. Thanks midfactory for your support.
Thanks for your input Hambread, this information or education might not be useful to you. But I guarantee you 90% of other labs do not offer the service’s we promote. Learning these things can take you anywhere in the cannabis industry. (After a 2 year non compete agreement).
The possibility of being “anywhere in the cannabis industry” is a loose gaurantee for an employee you are providing with a very defined scope of work and non-compete agreement.
Does anyone even know of an employee specifically in the cannabis/hemp industry getting in legal trouble for going to work for competitor immediately after? I have never once seen action taken on it and I’ve been told more than once that they don’t hold up and are more just an intimidation tactic. This was specifically for legal cannabis however, not hemp.
Some states don’t even recognize non-compete agreements but usually there are ways to cover some competitive issues with a well-defined NDA. Most people would rather drop the issue than spend time, money, and effort trying to mediate the issue.
You can work for whoever, noone can prevent you from makinng an income. I typically reserved non-competes to be used to wipe my arse. Most courts aren’t going to support them because the judge knows wage earner needs to make a living too.
I can’t fathom why anybody would stay working for a company like this if you’re strung along for six months on some dubious promise that you may make it to the final roster. Sounds like a churn and burn to me. It almost sounds like you’re expecting the turnover to be high if you’re presenting an argument that if somebody works with you for two years they can write your own ticket in the cannabis industry. Why not just create a training academy because that’s essentially what you have?
Training is a necessary part of any job. It’s the cost of doing business.
