Only one O ring is ever needed at anytime for a specific groove. More so will result in operation failure.
If she really doesn't want to work, then it sounds like she's lazy and will probably be dismissed. If you work her to your standards then she'll complain and quit, but at least she'll learn something. She'll go into another job and probably do the same thing, and, unsurprisingly, she'll get the same result. She'll either come to realise her error at some point and start to buckle down, or she'll declare that the job role she's applying for sucks, and she'll try her hand at something else that she might be better suited to. You can't save them all from themselves.I've learned that I can not hold others to my level of standards. It will end badly. I have an intern/assistant who has never had a job before. As some of you may know, I enjoy helping others in the business world. She is taking the whole thing for granted and does not want to work at all. If I hold her to my standards she will quit. If I don't challenge her she gets nothing from the experience. What to do....what to do...

Well, I don't know all the details of this situation, but could you try taking her to one side and having a private discussion about it? I don't know how long this girl has been working under you, but, say it's been a week or a month, and maybe set it out as a sort of informal review of how things are going for her? Then you can (politely) explain that you think she's going to have to work harder if she wants to have a future at the company? I'm a bit too blunt to manage that sort of conversation myself, but I'm sure there are ways of phrasing it better.Yes, she is very lazy, and I blame it on the parents. Less and less are parents instilling hard work, and good work ethics into their kids. I believe it to be a result of our instant gratification type of lifestyle many are accustomed to here in the US. I don't mind pushing her to the potential I know she can reach. However, I would like to do it in a way where she understands what I'm doing and why. Although, I think you're right. I just need to do it. She will prove herself, one way or the other. I would just love it if she grasped the importance of it all.
You see, I tended to be like that a lot, and I still do things like that if I don't watch myself. Having a deep, slightly quiet voice doesn't help.Haha I like your latter idea @Disgruntled Goat .
Unfortunately, one of my faults is my lack of proper communication. I recognize it could be better and I try. I seem to always come off harsh and like I'm reprimanding rather than caring and concerned. At least I know what I need to work on myself. Thank you for your advice. It's much appreciated. :)
Thanks for the advice! Thankfully I don't have a deep voice :)You see, I tended to be like that a lot, and I still do things like that if I don't watch myself. Having a deep, slightly quiet voice doesn't help.
The easiest way, for me, is to use as few words as possible, and speak offhandedly about important topics. The longer you talk, and the smaller words you use, the less invested you seem in the topic; the less invested you seem, the more likely people are to dismiss your tone of voice.
Depends on the company, though.
I learned that my wife is awesome.
