I've found the biggest problem with dealing with the idle is that mostly they are generally lazy people who go through life doing as little as possible and it's a major battle to get them to work consistently hard from day to day. A hard days work seems anathema to some people. There are a million ways to slack off and waste time on sites and some of our site staff are more subtle about it than others. Idlers are bad for morale at all levels.
Personally I find it very dificult to tell people to get on with it. It's almost too much of an effort to constantly cajole people in to doing their job.It's a very unpleasant part of the supervisors job but one which I have to do. Generally I try to put the lazy individual next to someone who works like a dervish, which instantly shows them up and shames them in to doing something.:face-confused:
