If I can get a guy who is paid $17/hr to perform like a guy who is paid $30/hr ...my colleague can at least get one individual to perform to the minimum standards, in theory. Right?
in theory....but some people are just lazy ****tards who get fired so they can get unemployment.

Yeah but how much time, money, and effort is going to be required to get them up to snuff? Sometimes its just easier to hire someone that doesn't require a ton of training. Training people is expensive for businesses and the productivity lost during training can far outweigh the benefits of an improved worker.

Here's the thing with crappy/lazy employees and unemployment.

Unemployment isn't such an easy things to acquire with any good/smart company.

I'll take a moment to explain how things are run in my place of work.

Say there is a crappy/lazy employee in my department. His name is Bob. He just doesn't get it. He's inattentive, forgetful, and has a terribly difficult time completing tasks in a satisfactory manner. It is my duty as a manager to get this employee to perform up to or exceed par.

I will take time out of my day to help Bob improve his skills and work ethic. These are things that are not easily done! I must help Bob isolate and resolve the issue at hand.

I train Bob. A week later he is beginning to slip back into his old ways! I take time out of my day to refresh his memory of the importance of his contributions in the work place. He is now back on track.

A week later he is beginning to slip back into his old ways!! I pull Bob aside and sit him down in a neutral environment as to not spark a confrontation. I tell Bob, "Hey, Bob, this is a verbal warning. You must get your crap together or the next warning will be documented and put on file". This usually works.

Now that I have given Bob a verbal warning, the safe termination process has begun.

1) Verbal warning
2) Write up #1
3) Write up #2 (last chance)
4) Termination

Now, when someone is terminated with this process, they will not qualify for unemployment benefits. If an employee is terminated because of bad attendance/punctuation he/she will not qualify for benefits.

The only way someone will qualify for benefits is to be laid off, or outright fired for no good reason. And by no good reason, I mean something along the lines of "you have bad hair, you're fired" type of shyt.

Trust me guys...a manager who does everything in his power to get their subordinates to perform well is far more valuable than one who goes on a termination rampage.

Anyone around have management experience?

you definately do not live in a right to work state. you do that in GA and they can still get unemployment for up to 6 months because the unemployment office does not do its job right.
