Stop in for a cup of coffee

We ran production numbers at the end of each month, went from 40% to 85% in one month when I cut them off from it. Sorry I might be old school but have absolutely no tolerance for personal business while on the clock.
We ran into this last season with the kids working in our training program. The crew's leader tried to give them a little flexibility and it creeped over time. He clamped down at the end; but the damage to productivity and morale isn't like a switch you can just turn on and off. Lesson learned. Hopefully he's back if we have a program again.
