I tried a private message(if you were talking to me), didn't go, not sure if you need at least 15 posts or else you need to turn it on by going to the user CP.

In regards to your mason who needs to improve quality, I saw an operator raise his game without even realizing he was being coached. The company owner was frustrated with the operator cause he had the skill, but was a little lazy. Owner had supervisor force the operator to cut finish grade over and over til he had it perfect, blaming the repeats on a
"psycho GC."

After a couple of jobs back to back with the same requirements, the operator was dead on all the time and just as fast as before. He just needed to practice perfection without someone screaming about how long it took.

Blame it on whatever, but make the guy do it perfect and soon enough the quality will be there with the speed, if the mason has any pride.

I just let a young guy go who probably had the skill, but just not enough grey matter to realize when good enough was good enough and when it needed to be perfect. I gave him a few tasks to do that weren't really critical, but told him I wanted it right, no matter how long it took.

He swung and missed three times, I let him go. Someone else will have to train him. I gave him a year to learn, but could see his potential wasn't what he thought it was.
