How much are you willing to work?

One of my employees has voiced an interest in another position, actually a management position that opened up. I told him it might be a good fit for him. This despite giving him a 50% rating last year. Actually, part of me would rather see him move on so I don't have to deal with him anymore.

I know the person in the position currently (she's leaving end of month) and she probably averages 10-12 hour days. She's a good manager. In reviewing the position with him, I asked him how hard he's willing to work.

His reply: 80%.

Explains a lot.

Lol. The guy's honest to a fault. But "pass the trash" is always tempting.

@StevetheSleeve People have mentioned that the biggest issue with the guys in my group when I took over was they're lazy and not used to working. I have my new boss's permission to "encourage" them to find other opportunities so I can get replacements.

@TamAngel encourage them out of the company

I was a manager receiving one of those folks. I also have seen people who were promoted that were not capable.
