How or what would you do with a guy that has been mr green for two years and seems to not get it? my dillema is he shows up early he never complain's about the job! how long do I babysit this situation before I cut him loose? He really wants to be an electrician.
This is the heartbreaker.

Best advice is, start from the top. What are the basics that he would need to get tattooed before he'll be able to remember them?

The best bet, from the word go, IMO, is honest feedback from the start. Then, once you progress further, you can calmly and honestly address the "not getting it", identify the problems, and coach him to tackle them one by one.

He may never be an all-star, but to quote Jules from Pulp Fiction: "Personality goes a long way." A work ethic and a desire to continue to grow, despite a lack of knack, will let him continue in the business. There's no shame in him achieving small success at low rank and staying put, if he derives satisfaction from the job he does. [Linked Image]
