Once I had a big job going and had to hire some temp employees to fill the crews.
Two guys were from Somalia and spoke broken English. During the first day I did my rounds through the jobsite (city hall demolition - Auburn Maine) and these two numbskulls where sitting on a couple of 5 gallon buckets turned upside down.
I simply inquired about their behavior by very politely asking them, "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!"
One of the two pipes up "I come here to make money - not to work"
me:

me:
<flash temper arrives on que> "you're fired, get your lazy asses out of here before I throw you out - no free rides here"
them:
"can we come back tomorrow?"
No matter what you do mjohn3006, it can't be that lazy. I've never had someone show up and inform me that they don't want to work for their money, but expect to be paid nonetheless. You could try it though!
