Re: For those who lack dedication...

Now I don't tolerate such behavior and I try to get them to work as much as possible, but there's only so much I can do.

We are considering not allowing members of the team go to competition who we feel have not contributed enough to the team or don't show up enough. Is this a good idea? I realize it may be harsh, but we're starting to find it necessary.


PS: I realize there are other threads regarding the lack of dedication of team members, but I didn't feel that they addressed this specific issue. So I did search and I apologize if I didn't search hard enough.
Try leaving messages like the ones Zac Hitt, our captain, left on my machine. www.geocities.com/jakethebrikhed/ZacGayness.mp3

Seriously, try assigning important jobs to each person, and call persistantly. That way, you know if they are still part of the team, or if they quit, so you can stop wasting your time and energy calling them. That in itself should do it. Good luck.
