I ran an auto detailing shop for used cars for several years after I retired. We always had trouble with people showing up for various reasons but it was part of any business. We were not a sweat shop but did have a strong finished product out the door.
A state parole officer approached us to get his own car done. We did the job and he hit us with the fact that a number of released persons were looking for jobs....any jobs to get over the hump ...they would help us hire recently released persons. the owner and I thought it would be worth a try. We hired several persons over the years and were only burnt once! Yes we did reject quite a few but learned to look people in the face and listen.
We trained them, just like everybody else. Gave them work boots, water boots and uniforms (we had a service) a bus pass for the month. We made sure that they could have a lunch, sometimes off a food truck other times made by my wife. Most had a strong work ethic beyond a person off the street. We TRAINED them on how to, patience was required, just as it was with everybody.
I hired a person convicted of murder, listened to his story, was horrified but he spent 25 years in jail. We gave him a shot.
Today that person is now a manager for a local car dealer in their used car section. Now married with kids and a house The owner of the dealership trusts him without concern. They now hire like we do...carefully but hire.
Almost everybody who moved on from us is doing OK, not great in all cases but OK.
In this world it is OK to give somebody a break!

Scripture teaches us that as we judge others that's the standard upon we will be judged.

Let's hope for his and his families sake that he has learned that corner cutting ends up poorly, especially when dealing with potentially lethal machines.
